The underlying intent might just be to have investigations so uncannily stupid, the whole idea of Congressional investigations becomes ridiculous. If the Democrats take over the House, their investigations in public corruption will be met by a public that has been fed a steady stream of "Bad Bunny twerking" investigations that were entirely in bad faith.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Not even a semblance of sanity, no trace of rational thought... everything is stupid, performative, and embarrassing, all the time. Thanks, conservative America
This has a real, “Elvis is poisoning the children’s minds” type of vibe to it.
the level and type of stupidity has not changed at all.
Probably rolling in his grave.
More likely thrusting in his grave.
This is what Republicans focus on instead of holding pedophiles, rapists and oligarchs to account.
Remember forever.
They'll investigate anything except their pedophiles... God damn!
Im going to repeat a comment I had on another of these. Puritan value for the poors and raping children for the rich.
They really are a Christian party!
Oh Republicans. "Investigate it", really? It sounds like you just want to watch it again. You don't have to call it an investigation.
I've already watched it like five times, no shame.
It cracks me up that so many idiots think it's the Republicans that are countercultural rebels or some such bullshit, when, really, they always come around to basically this archetype:
It’s the pelvic thrusts that really drive them insane
It's just a jump to the left!
And a step to the right.
Won't someone think of the children?? No, not those children... not those either... or those!
Is twerking illegal? LOL. Morons.
