    Between this, Hunter walking out on Marge, and the picture of Trump and Epstein being shown to Congress it was a good day. It’s about time the left feeds them a little bit of their own bullshit and pettiness.
    They’re so used to Democrats not fighting back at all they don’t know how to act when they do.

      I wish.

      They’re the bullies who pick on people all day, then run to the teacher when the victim finally slugs them and both get detention (if the victim is lucky enough to have a teacher smells the bully’s bullshit).

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden surprised members of the House Oversight Committee Wednesday when he made an unannounced appearance at a hearing on a resolution to hold him in contempt of Congress for refusing to appear before the same committee.

    Hunter Biden refused last month to testify in a closed-door setting, despite a subpoena for him to appear.

    The younger Biden and his attorneys cited concerns that Republicans would distort his comments and offered instead to appear at a public hearing.

    Greene previously displayed nude photos of the president’s son in a hearing and responded to his departure by calling him a "coward.

    In a separate statement, Lowell accused Republicans of targeting his client as a surrogate for attacking the president.

    The committee continued without the unscheduled star witness in a hearing that devolved into lengthy disagreements between members over everything from the rules of procedure to personal bickering.

    Greene called him a coward for not showing up at a closed hearing but he was willing to show up for an open public hearing all day long.

    Who is the bigger coward when they can’t hold this for everyone to see?
