Facing 'make-or-break moment,' GOP's Comer fails spectacularly

Comer promised dirt of President Biden and failed. Comer is an idiot



https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/facing-make-break-moment-gops-comer-fails-spectacularly-rcna83934?cid=sm_npd_ms_tw_ma&taid=645d1f408e5bed00014186ad&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

But, we were told, yesterday would be the day that changed everything. The Democratic president would, at long last, face a “judgment day” as House Oversight Committee Republicans unveiled new evidence for all the world to see. For Biden’s critics, it was going to be awesome.....

So, how’d it go? The headline on The New York Times’ report summarized in just 11 words just how badly Comer failed: “House Republican Report Finds No Evidence of Wrongdoing by President Biden.” From the article:

After four months of investigation, House Republicans who promised to use their new majority to unearth evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden acknowledged on Wednesday that they had yet to uncover incriminating material about him, despite their frequent insinuations that he and his family have been involved in criminal conduct and corruption.....


And finally, as a worthwhile Washington Post analysis explained, the more the Oversight Committee looks for evidence of a presidential family influenced by foreign money, the worse they make Donald Trump appear.

Wasn't it yesterday they gave a deranged press conference about all the corruption they'd found? Wasn't Ron Johnson shooting off his mouth today?

It's utterly laughable.

The fact that there is no evidence is proof that there might be evidence.

by screeching their slander all over right wing media because they know people will remember a screamed lie rather than the whispered truth.

Yes, they look like total fools to anyone paying attention, but their fan club is too stupid for that. They'll keep dittoing the lies even unto their pureed veg in an old folks' home.

He must know something, right? He sure looks official.

We don't just give important, powerful positions to any old crank, do we?

I mean, he gets a press conference and everything, right in the middle of all the important things that need doing in this country. We don't do that for just any old fool, do we?

1. He did it, and the lack of evidence proves how well he did it
2. More evidence will follow; wait until the investigation really gets going
3. Where do you think he got that $10M. Hmm?

Objective fact has nothing to do with it, because the have their alternate facts.

They’re sure Biden is guilty, despite an utter lack of any evidence at all; meanwhile trump is innocent despite mountains of evidence, a 24 count indictment, and a unanimous verdict of civil liability,


They’re an insane death kkkult far beyond the reach of mere reality.

For the Benghazi medal of valor (with cluster, of course) for failing in a spectacular manner under intense pressure to do nothing.

FOX News had multiple articles taking the specualtion as fact. It was a hilarious press conference, no doubt, but make no mistake, it's being portrayed as the smoking gun by the Right, including FOX News, despite a couple things you've heard.
