  1. The hole in James Comer’s new corruption claim against Joe Biden is so big, you could drive a truck through it.

  2. James Comer’s entire argument casts doubt on James Comer’s entire argument.

  3. Plot twist: James Comer is the huge, hilarious mistake in all of this.

  4. Why is Comer against manly, American built, hard working, RAM tough Trucks and men with deep, virile, heterosexual voices??

    Is he secretly a soy boy who wants us all to drive Priuses and eat Avocado toast??

    I don’t know, I’m just asking questions

  5. The hole in James Comer’s argument is, in fact, James Comer.

  6. In some ways it’s sad how little they have – which is to say less than nothing- on Biden

  7. I love that the big scandal Republicans keep trying to pin on Biden always amounts to “being a good dad”.

  8. The gang who couldn’t shoot straight. They will still attempt to impeach Biden for absolutely nothing though. We actually pay to have these idiots waste our time while we all work for a hell of a lot less.

  10. Trump told him to impeach Biden on something, so this is what’s been found. How humiliating for Comer.

  11. The GOP is a pathetic facade of its former self. Idiots all. You’re telling me these people didn’t even go check their facts on something so damned simple! That was a no brainer to fact check! Oh wait… never mind.

  12. I have to admit I’m impressed by the level of ineptitude on display, even after having a good idea of just who we’re dealing with in the House GOP.

    Joe Biden has been in government for like 50 years. Even someone who isn’t particularly corrupt would have had a *few* shaky dealings in that time. But the GOP can’t point to *anything* the least bit substantive and spend 95% of their time attacking his son.

    Also that picture of Comer at the top of the article looks like he’s trying to fart without letting anyone hear it. But we hear it, Jimmy. We hear it.

  13. Even a lot of conservatives are asking “didn’t we already know and debunk this?” Looks like Comer is forced to resort to reruns from a year ago hoping his base won’t notice because he’s otherwise got nothing for his Fox Business w/Maria Bartiromo time slot.

  14. Truck -> Truck Nuts -> Hunter’s wang! CHECKMATE LIBS!!!

  15. If Pinocchio were a hot dog instead of a marionette, he would grow up to be James Comer

  16. Should James Comer be removed for wasting our money and time?

  17. Even if Biden received the money, who the hell sells out for $4,500? It beggars credulity.

  18. Wow. I just would have never expected something like that. It seemed so legit.

  20. The media needs to stop spinning the vast majority of these articles as if the Republicans do this stuff because they’re stupid. That’s a bold face lie and only serves to protect them. It’s practically like a form of “controlled opposition.”

    The GOP doesn’t push this innuendo and rhetoric because they’re dumb. They push this rhetoric precisely because they are actually smart!

    Also consider this is these people’s job for a second. They don’t want to act too competent or voters would catch on when they don’t follow through and instead only use their authority to enrich themselves and their friends.

  21. Everything Comer has brought forward just show US that Joe Biden is a great father. On the other hand pretty sure Donald J. Trump is going to drown Eric if he does not win the election.

  22. This is low. I wonder if republicans willfully holding back information to give the appearance of a crime is prosecutable? These people are ridiculous, especially after the farce of the Trump kids in the white house cabinet.

  23. The point is not to impeach Biden. The point is to make impeachment ordinary.

  24. To be fair, James Comer is a huge, hilarious mistake of a human being.

  25. Joe Biden getting his $4,500 cut of a billion dollar international scheme. This guy is ruthless.

  26. He’s a Putin-Pawn…of course this is all just a distraction from Ukraine…like the rest of the orchestrated conflicts….

  27. 4500 bucks?

    Trump: ***”Those are rookie numbers!”***

  28. Republicans should be embarrassed over the molehill that they have made out to be a mountain but, of course, they are not and the charade will continue.

    >The Oversight Committee released one bank statement showing Owasco transferred $1,380 to Joe Biden on September 17, 2018—**when Biden was not in office**.

    >What Comer does not say is that Hunter made only two additional payments to his father in the same amount, on October 15, 2018, and November 15, 2018, a committee aide told the Washington Examiner, speaking anonymously. (That’s a total of less than $4,500.)

    >Comer also does not mention the previously reported emails from Hunter’s laptop that indicate those transfers were paying his father back for a pickup truck. **Instead, he makes it seem as though Hunter has been making shady monthly payments to his father for years**.

    >In 2019, Hunter’s then personal assistant, Katie Dodge, sent multiple messages regarding his bills. In one, sent on January 17, she said that Biden would pay his son’s bills “in the short-term as Hunter transitions in his career.”

    >That email included a PDF of the payments Hunter needed to make. The document showed Hunter owed $1,380 to his father for a 2018 Ford Raptor truck. Dodge had reminded Hunter about the $1,380 truck repayment he owed his father in an email she had sent three days earlier.

  29. How can a small, shithole state elect so many worthless Congressmen/Senators? McTurtle, Paul, Massie, Comer. I’m sure there are others.

  30. I love how the very first witness in the last inquiry even said that he didn’t think there was enough evidence to justify an impeachment. …. Comers own witness!! Then the whistle blower was a Chinese spy! The bottom of the barrel has been scrapped so much there is no more bottom to the GOPs likes.

  31. We’re arguing about $4500 in payments for a truck while James Kusher received……(checks notes)….*$2 billion dollars from the Saudis?*
