It sure looks like House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is running out of excuses as to why his impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden has stalled.

. For twenty glorious years, Crooks and Liars has been the premier destination for unvarnished liberal commentary, unrelenting criticism of the far right, and incredibly on-point mockery of conservative absurdities.
