    Because they only have two stupid points.

    They are announcing it now. Sorry I should have gave a heads up but on social media.

    Hunter Biden's laptop is REAL.

    This is from official House Republican twitter account. Also Gym Jordan and others are salivating about it.

    Maybe you are giving me sarcasm, but not matter this is likely real.

    Well, okay, if they want to sign their party over to the crazies in exchange for another Benghazi failure that's on them. Can't say I'll mind watching them spending two years finding nothing.

    EDIT: I'd like to add that, from now on, nobody on these forums is allowed to call the Jan 6th panel a witch hunt, or any synonym, ever again. If the House GOP really is going after Hunter Biden right out of the gate, then they are announcing that purely political investigations are okay, and it no longer matters whether the investigation into Trump is purely partisan or not.

    Oh, and of course, the rank hypocrisy of them trying to end the Jan 6th panel while immediately going after Hunter Biden needs to be addressed as well.

    So again, no posters here is allowed to call the Trump investigation a purely partisan issue. The House GOP have announced that a purely partisan investigation is completely okay.

    @Breccia

    The GOPs choice is to either work with the terrorists within their party and get laughed at or cross the isle to work with Democrats which will ruin them politically with Y’all Queda.

    Also, they know nothing they pass will make it through the Senate so virtue signaling is all they have. I doubt they would try and actually pass a bill that helped the nation to rail against the Democrats for shooting it down because then the Dems might actually vote for it and then Biden sign it which they wouldn’t want on such a bill.

    So, the party crying sham investigation and witch hunt to legit stuff gets to start actual sham investigations themselves.

    to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.

    Agreed, which is why my snap reflex is "they won't do it". Yeah, super wrong on that one. I thought the fuckup that was the Republican 2022 election collapse would have pushed them away from the Trump cultists, not towards it.

    So, dumb fuckin' me assuming the Republican Party was willing to learn from its mistakes.

    Their choice is to either work with and compromise with the loonies within their own party or work with the Democrats and try and get some of them to help.

    Which one hurts them worse to their voters who still have a majority that would vote Trump in the recent polls.

    They are riding the tiger at this point and have no off ramp.

    You're correct. A lot of MAGA didn't even vote in 2016, 2020 was their first time actively participating in an election. Trump politically activated them and the Conservatives need them to make up for votes lost due to shifting demographics and public opinion.

    And those people aren't really interested in politics, they're interested in the sideshow Trump and countless sub-grifters created around. Between the rallies, militias, protests, Q anon, and merchandise, it's like a big carnival mixed with an ARG / LARP / sporting event. They get to engage in some collaborative storytelling, get dressed up every once in a while and cheer for their team.

    Those people aren't interested in a normal presidential campaign. They're not interested in a Ron DeSantis.

    Trump is an entertainer, and they want to be entertained. Without him, they're going to get bored and check out, or just fall deeper into the rabbit hole of conspiracy and get lost in the sauce.

    You know what? Fine. Whatever. Let them go ahead and fling failed investigation after failed investigation and get nothing for it. After surviving what seemed to many like an unnecessary and vindictive impeachment, Bill Clinton's popularity spiked higher than pretty much anyone else's. Difference is, Biden can be re-elected.

    So fuck it. Go ahead. Stake your own fucking party through the heart.

    Honestly, I'm mostly looking forward to Hunter Biden using every delay tactic that Republicans have been using extensively for the past 4+ years, and Republicans crying about how the same tactics they used are just unfair when they're on the other end of the table.

    Would be good but it will also require him to go on air and specifically stating that he is using them because the Republicans already approved them when Trump and his people used them. Actually call out their hypocrisy publicly so they have to defend their actions if they want to attack his.

    Otherwise they will rely on their voters short memories to pretend they never did.

    He will need to call them out publicly and often showing how and why he is doing it.

    I still haven't actually got a clear idea of what republicans think Hunter Biden might have even done, like what's the supposed scandle?

    He got paid by Russia and China and did some drugs and (this one is more legit) may have cheated on his taxes and stuff and things and LAPTOP!

    Remember, these are the same people who investigated Clinton 9 times for Benghazi and every time their own people cleared her they opened another and actually spent more money looking into that then we did looking into 9/11.

    It’s not about him doing anything, it’s about optics and revenge.

    I can't wait for the Republican Party so say, under oath, that a family member of a Presidential candidate cheating on their taxes is important enough to warrant an investigation. Please please please, do this.

    Probably trying to discover if his dad used his sway to defend him. Since ultimately this is to try and make a scandal, or the appearance of one.

    I think that might be the biggest problem for republicans Trump has gotten boring, his antics and reactions are predictable now.

    ...Hunter Biden is Tom Brady? I knew the Bidens were (sunglasses) true Patriots.

    Does the trump announcement for Pres mean the RNC stops paying for his legal bills?
