As McCarthy made it clear tonight, they will start dragging top officials such as AG Garland in front of committees, have never ending investigations. It will be benghazi on steroids.

With Benghazi, there was some actual "there" there. Not nearly what they tried to make of it, but they could at least mount some pretend outrage. What are they going to go after Garland for? Following the letter of the law and doing his job?

I could be wrong, but I don't see any benefit for the Republicans in keeping Trump's peccadilloes front and center in the public consciousness indefinitely. The MAGA base might get some jollies from Jim Jordan's mouth-breathing hissy-fits, but there would be plenty of pushback from witnesses. Plenty. The way I see it, it can only hurt their chances for 2024.

I think there will be different results if they try that again.

But when MAGA disciples are in charge of the military, it won't be so funny.

That's why I think that if we going to have a Civil War, better sooner than later while we still have the executive branch.

AND they still lost. They are losers, like the orange turd. It's over, the big KKK rallies are over again, they can go drag their nuckles into their caves, never to be heard from for another fifty years.

Trump will not go alone into the night, he will drag every last player into his mess. He will spill their dirt on national TV, and give away their secrets for pennies on the dollar. They all know it, so they can get on the TV, Kevin, Jim, Paul and any other treason heavy Congress member, but trump will out every last one of them. They know their on his shit list, and he'll blame them for this happening.

I'll sit back and enjoy the show.
