From John Durham to MTG, the Republican spiral is getting worse

The House GOP fries up another nothingburger
Republicans had quite a busy week. And yet, despite all that effort, they still failed to produce something — anything — the GOP can use to help keep control of the House next year.
To start, John Durham's testimony Wednesday before the House Judiciary Committee basically lead nowhere. The Trump-appointed special prosecutor produced no new evidence to prove the Russia probe was politically motivated. Not even a shred.
Republicans have also wasted significant energy censoring Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. (Schiff essentially turned the tables on that endeavor by embracing the charade as a "badge of honor.") Probably the most memorable moment from this giant distraction was Rep. Nancy Pelosi comparing the entire caucus to a bunch of puppets controlled by Trump.

Not to be outdone, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene andColorado Rep. Lauren Boebert got into a public brawl over who could force a baseless impeachment vote against President Joe Bidenfirst.
So if this week has revealed anything, it's that the GOP's downward spiral is fueled almost entirely by grievance and revenge.
As Brendan Buck, a former adviser to House speakers Paul Ryan and John Boehner told me: "The most useful thing President Biden has going for himself right now is a House absolutely incapable of not overreaching. Oversight can be effective for Republicans, but not when it's focused on conspiracy theories and vendettas."

Has the gop no shame? No dignity? No self respect? No wonder the gop keeps losing elections...
Well, you get what you vote for... I didn't quite realize that Barnum and Bailey's was on the ballot.

Jen Psaki?
You actually seeded an article by Jen Psaki and expect to be taken seriously?
The only worse White House Press Secretary then Psaki is Jean-Pierre.
Why not go directly to Brandon, Schumer, or Pelosi and have them write the article- it is the same difference.
All of them will produce nothing but partisan BS that is completely devoid of facts.
You weren't supposed to remember who she was. They'll circle back to you for an incoherent Biden like response.
Jen Psaki Fries Up Another Nothingburger.
Another Republicans are evil nothingburger is served up in NT.
That is if you ignore that the Democrats had no reason to start any investigations. But don't let fact get in the way.
Oh, how cute. Somebody hasn't been paying attention to what is actually going on. While it was pre-mature it's far from baseless.
