James Comer's so pathetic, so easily owned by Jared Moskowitz & Jamie Raskin, it really makes you wonder if he has an actual fetish for rhetorically getting his ass kicked.
It just leaked that his so-called "impeachment" inquiry--began based on Russian disinformation (which he almost certainly knew)--is ending, yet he keeps threatening to impeach Biden, which is taken as seriously as one kid telling another, "My dad's gonna beat up your dad!"
