I think the most surreal part is that they’re wanting to impeach Biden on something that Trump very vocally did for Jared Kushner.
And worse yet, they established no link between Hunter Biden’s actions and Joe Biden outside of, “Of course he knew! He’s Joe Biden’s son!”
That was literally the maximum extent of connection they established. That they’re related to each other so obviously they’re all in on it.
The level of projection from this whole affair, especially seeing how the government is about to shut down, really indicates that the GOP in general has lost the entire point of governance.
- They didn’t lose it, they actively threw it away. Ever since Newt Gingrich said that he wanted to get the government so small that he could drown it in a bathtub I knew that they were illegitimate and did not belong in government at all. it’s only gotten worse.
  Edit: I was incorrect, that is a Grover Norquist quote.
  
  That was Grover Norquist's line. IIRC Gingrich was all about the Contract "With" America.
  
  Contract on America was what I remember those of us who thought Gingrich was a threat called it.
