    “House Republicans’ installation of some of their most incendiary conservatives on the Oversight Committee is sparking an unexpected feeling inside the White House: unbridled glee.”

    “The panel tasked with probing Biden policies and actions, as well as the president’s own family, will be stocked with some of the chamber’s biggest firebrands and die-hard Trumpists — including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) and Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) — ideal figureheads for a White House eager to deride the opposition party as unhinged.”

    “The president’s aides sent texts to one another with digital high fives and likened their apparent luck to drawing an inside straight. One White House ally called it a “political gift.”

    “The Republicans have brought the QAnon caucus to the Oversight Committee, and you can expect them to run with the most ludicrous conspiracy theories one can ever imagine,” said Rep. Dan Goldman. This collective group has the credibility of a My Pillow commercial”

    “This is a crowd that will make Darrell Issa look intellectual.”

    Obviously, this was one of the concessions McCarthy had to honor to get his Speakership, but are the consequences going to make these individuals' histories the profile of the House GOP?

    Is it going to be easier for the White House to confront the Committee's actions given the baggage the members bring with them? Seems as if the Biden team thinks that it does calling it a "political gift"

    It's true. No different than when folks in The Squad say and do dumbass things. The Republican party loves The Squad. They've probably raised millions and millions of dollars off of them. The Democrats will do the same with the Fake Patriot Caucus.

    It wasn't likely to be hard even if there had been nothing but real Congresspeople on the Oversight.... With those 3, it's going to be a snap and best of all, nobody will be watching....

    I'm going to be waiting for some committee (probably not Oversight) to subpoena another member of Congress....

    Bit the Squad aren’t on the big “investigating”Committees, those Committees who will be in the limelight, whose behavior and actions will be heavily moderated

    Jordan’s “special” Committee, or his Judiciary Committee, where Perry is also a member, can’t wait till he repeats his famous line, “Americans have a right to know”

    Actually more worried it's going to be more of the same nonsense only ratcheted up since that's what you have to do now to keep the theatrics from going stale.

    Do you really think an aide to the president would send out messages and then they go public? Is so, why?

    Let me tell you what this is and it’s an attempt to get ahead of the game. If MTG comes out with videos of Biden cashing checks signed by Xi while Biden hands him a suitcase full of stuff marked top secret, these idiots are going to say ‘see, we told ya.’ Don’t forget the left got the world to believe Nunes was a liar when it turned out he was telling the truth all along.

    I am worried as this seems to exemplify the loss of both intelligence and morality within the GOP

    Exactly a good opposition usually ensures good government

    The GOP seems to have forgotten that in the stampede to “own the libs”

    So MTG now has “videos of Biden cashing checks signed by Xi …………?”

    What the world that admires MTG doesn’t understand is that outside the Fox bubble Americans don’t care about Hunter Biden no more than they care about Jared getting billion dollar deals from Qatar, there both infotainment topics

    Biden has bigger problems than House committees to worry about.

    The spoils of war go to the victors. Better luck in 2024 but it’s not looking like a good year for Democrats. Biden will be your liability. Reporters only want to hear one thing from him and that is WTF were you thinking?!

    With Biden’s political problems he will need to escalate the war in Europe to take the focus off him. Very reckless and dangerous times ahead.

    The left masks their anger with laughter. I’ll be interested to see how this ultimately plays out. My guess though is R’s don’t have the back bone to do much though unfortunately. But hey, you never know.

    I don't think the House committees are going to be a problem, perhaps an annoyance, they are all just about optics, not facts, so what are these worries he has more to be worried about?

    No president wants a Special Counsel sniffing around their business. That's how we found out about Clinton's affair with Lewinsky even though that is not what he was being investigated for. Do you remember why Clinton was investigated?

    True, any President would rather not have one, but Biden as been open with the Special Council, and this one, like nearly everyone since Starr, has defined parameters, it is not an open fishing expedition as Clinton's was back then.
