I'd like to see the flight expense claims from these House Repubs and whether taxpayers are funding their trips to kiss the ring in Manhattan.

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with these people? You go from being the "law and order" party to being the party of one of the biggest con men of the past century.

God I hate that we treat politics like sports teams now.

They know the Democrats don't have the balls to try and sneak legislative actions by when they're not there. They're too focused on decorum and wanting a strong Republican party to undermine the Republicans.

Democratic leaders in the House had advised their members to vote “no,” calling the measure “another partisan stunt by Extreme MAGA Republicans who are determined to hurt President Biden politically.”

The group that showed up in Manhattan on Thursday was composed of lawmakers who rarely shy from disrupting legislative business in the Capitol or embarrassing the party on the House floor.

The Oversight Committee postponed a meeting scheduled for Thursday morning to vote on holding Merrick B. Garland, the attorney general, in contempt of Congress, rescheduling it for 8 p.m.
