Ah, yes, people at Walmart, the trusted demographic known for often being completely oblivious to their own brand of obstruction.

    “Why are you going to impeach Biden? What has he done?”

    “People at Walmart don’t cotton to him.”

    Nothing says ‘very serious impeachment inquiry’ quite like creating a logo and printing it on the front of your podium.

    This guy is working a new record for saying particularly dumb things.

    Comer responded that moderate House Republicans are more willing to vote for a Biden impeachment inquiry now because they went home over Thanksgiving and heard from their constituents at Walmart.

    I’m sure that’s a representative sample of the population, people who go to see their Republican rep at Walmart, and also, they couldn’t have guessed that of course dedicated Republicans would be happy to see Biden impeached for anything. Not as if “let’s go brandon” could have tipped them off.

      Republican politicians going to Walmart? Lol. They wouldn’t piss on that subset of constituents if they were on fire.

        If they knew news cameras would be there to film it, they would rush down to Walmart as quickly as they could.

        For members in rural or the weird suburban-rural districts, it might be the only reasonable place to have a political gathering.

        Considering some of the more outspoken reps, you may actually find one (or more) in the musicals aisle giving out handjobs.

      GOP: James, quick! We need you to say something stupid to distract people from our inability to govern!

      Comer: Stupid…? How about I say the smartest thing I can think of?

      GOP: …uh, yeah! That’s what we meant… 👀

    Ah yes, spend 2+ years trying to find evidence of any form of crime without success, but one visit to Walmart and now it’s time to move ahead.

    How many of these constituents do you suppose used the term “Biden Crime Family”?

    Also, I can’t get my rep to give me the time of day. He only invites his supporters to his “public” meetings, and doesn’t publicize them before hand. It never occurred to me to wander around Wal-mart looking for him.

    House Republicans will find that this will not be another Clinton impeachment. They will find a very hostile opponent and will end Congress with nothing to show the voters in 2024.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The allegations have been denied by the White House and Hunter Biden’s lawyers, with Democrats criticizing the GOP’s impeachment inquiries for failing to find any meaningful evidence against the president.

    Comer responded that moderate House Republicans are more willing to vote for a Biden impeachment inquiry now because they went home over Thanksgiving and heard from their constituents at Walmart.

    So they heard from their constituents, ‘Yes we want you to move forward, we want to know the truth and expect the Bidens to be held accountable for public corruption,’" Comer said.

    Labeled as a loan repayment, the check was issued on the same date in 2018 when Americore Health LLC wired $200,000 into James Biden’s bank account.

    Comer maintains that the loan repayment raises questions about whether the president personally benefited from his family’s business ventures.

    “Even if this was a personal loan repayment, it’s still troubling that Joe Biden’s ability to be paid back by his brother depended on the success of his family’s shady financial dealings,” he said in his video statement announcing the discovery in October.
