The Wrong-Wing dog has caught an entire bus this time, not just a car, and is busily throwing itself under it. 👈👈😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👈👈 As Napoleon said, “Never interfere when your enemy is making a fatal error.” (And then he made his fatal errors in Russia, while Russian General Kutuzov did his best not to interfere, except when the Tsar ordered him to, at Borodino.)
Oh, yes, they do!
The new MAGA Republican Congress is vowing to give Joe Biden some serious headaches. So far, the Biden team is responding in a perhaps unexpected way, with barely restrained glee.

Politico: Biden world giddy at MTG, Gosar and Boebert being placed on Oversight
The panel tasked with probing Biden policies and actions, as well as the president’s own family, will be stocked with some of the chamber’s biggest firebrands and die-hard Trumpists — including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) and Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) — ideal figureheads for a White House eager to deride the opposition party as unhinged.
No administration wants to feel the heat of congressional investigations, and Biden’s team is no different. But privately, the president’s aides sent texts to one another with digital high fives and likened their apparent luck to drawing an inside straight. One White House ally called it a “political gift.”
Democrats haven’t yet named their members to the top House investigative committees, but they’re already confident the Republican-led panels will self-destruct.
“The Republicans have brought the QAnon caucus to the Oversight Committee, and you can expect them to run with the most ludicrous conspiracy theories one can ever imagine,” said Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.). “And I think our job is very simple, which is to make sure that we ground our work and any of these investigations in reality.”
IOW,
👆👆😂😂👆👆
Be careful what you bring on yourselves.
Meanwhile, some GOP members privately acknowledged the pitfalls of putting controversy-baiting members on investigative panels. But they said Jordan and Comer are respected enough within the conference to keep wayward members in line. And they also remarked on the entertainment value of the committees, noting that it’d be interesting to see members of the progressive “Squad” — who are expected to rejoin the Oversight Committee — go toe-to-toe with members like Boebert and Greene.
You mean…?

“The more unserious people performing congressional oversight the easier this is going to be for the [Biden] administration. And in that regard I think the White House hit the jackpot. This is a crowd that will make [former House Oversight chair] Darrell Issa look intellectual.”
And Devin Nunes, and Dan Burton before them, and Sen. Joe McCarthy and friends way back when.

ABC News: DOJ tells House GOP it won't share info about ongoing criminal probes
DoJ has written a letter to the House Judiciary Chairman, the execrable but laughable Jim Jordan.
Any oversight requests must be weighed against the Departments interest in protecting the integrity of its work.
Cue huffing and puffing, and even more threats to blow its house down.
Catching the Bus
I don’t have any images for a dog catching a bus and biting it, as we do for cars.
