Has Tedla ever actually sold a "cybertruck"?

Meanwhile, in Wonder-land:

JAMES COMER: We're investigating the Biden family for influence peddling

CNN'S PAMELA BROWN: But why not investigate the Trump family for the same?

COMER: We have no evidence

BROWN: What evidence do you have for Biden?

COMER: That's what we're investigating pic.twitter.com/NpvpD3MDx7

Verdict first, trial after.

No, I’m not off-topic:

Comer met with Elon Musk, who he describes as "the most interesting person I've ever had a conversation with," and says Musk is "well aware of the Biden family influence peddling investigation that I'm leading" pic.twitter.com/bcrPzWTqkv

Speaking of peddling influence:

Elon Musk personally banned an account that investigates fascists because @elonmusk is a fascist. https://t.co/H5klcLNJ2q

And then there’s the complete inability to peddle influence:

Republicans flop in the round of first debt proposals with unpopular sales tax increasehttps://t.co/oS5KtzrYZx

— Raw Story (@RawStory) January 29, 2023

Forcing the discussion of the unpopular tax puts the GOP in a political bind that seems doomed to repeat itself for the House’s slim majority," the report said. "McCarthy must walk a tightrope between appeasing the renegade factions of his caucus and disassociating the party from policy proposals that could hurt Republicans at the ballot box." 

The CNN Poll shows 73 percent of Americans say House Republicans are not focusing on the country's top problems. There are just 27 percent of Americans that believe the House GOP's priorities are in the right place. It doesn't bode well for Republicans as they begin debt ceiling battles with the president.

But McCarthy does dig a nice hole.

You’ve got to love when people in government believe government can’t do anything. https://t.co/N9W3nD9RKt

Ironic self-description? Or subconscious admission of incompetence? Speaking of which:

Trump: Florida was actually closed for a great, long period of time. You remember he closed the beaches and everything else. You know, they’re trying to rewrite history pic.twitter.com/xhEBm2kG4e

The next two years could be fun after all. I mean, two years of Trump saying his opponents are bigger liars than he is? Comedy gold!

In the meantime, the GOP will work hard to restore our faith in government:

'Biden didn't defy a subpoena!' Chuck Todd schools Jim Jordan on 'raid' of Trump's Mar-a-Lago https://t.co/q9KcjET5ME

And what Gym Jordan can’t do, Cancun Cruz will:

Cruz suggests FBI search Hunter Biden’s home for classified documents https://t.co/QKlo8Crebi pic.twitter.com/KpB9GdY5t5

— The Hill (@thehill) January 29, 2023

Cruz has no influence over the FBI (or anyone else, for that matter), and he knows no court is going to authorize a search warrant on this insane conjecture (damn that 4th Amendment!). What will be fun is watching him try to get someone not on FoxNews to listen to him.

And if they do, all he can do is bleat  He certainly can’t do a damned thing to get a search warrant issued.

Impotent bleating by the party in control of the House is not a winning strategy.
