  As they should.
context: Here's what I don't understand.  Why would I think Jim Jordan, who claims he didn't know that a major sex scandal was happening all around him, is qualified to investigate anything beyond the boogers in his nose? >
  
  He can't even find a suitcoat in his own closet, how is he going to find skeletons in other people's closets? >
  
  He can’t find a different tie. >
  
  Good article.
  
  Second, it is hard for Republicans to explain to an audience not already seeped in right-wing conspiracy theories what they heck they are talking about.
  Each time a Republican screams that the government has been “weaponized,” Democrats should be prepared to go through the litany of real GOP abuses and outrages while in power: the failure to audit Trump’s taxes, the Justice Department’s pointless John Durham investigations, GOP governors transporting of unwary asylum seekers out of state and the abusive arrests of African American voters in Florida, to name a few. Simply because these issues are not the majority’s designated topics does not prevent Democrats from talking about them in hearings.
  
  So much this, “because these issues are not the majority’s designated topics does not prevent Democrats from talking about them”. Democrats need to focus on messaging and put it on repeat. They need to be the broken record. Minimize the fire hose of bullshit. >
  
  Its the problem with holding nuanced opinions. Complex problems cant really be put on a bumper sticker. >
  
  This. So many people think the left has a branding or messaging problem, reality is they have a comprehension and apathy problem. Most people want to be spoon fed, and being spoon fed simple solutions to complex problems is easier than getting your brain juices goong >

  Chuck, but let me just finish this. Twenty-five parents get reported on that snitch line. They all get investigated. FBI shows up to their door and guess how many have been charged. How many have been charged? Zero.
  
  Here’s a wild idea, don’t threaten to murder officials and the FBI won’t show up to your house. If only there was a “snitch line” when you were ignoring rape at your school and helped enable it because you didn’t care but joked about it instead. >
  
  He would much rather the FBI go after little girls seeking medical care in the aftermath of being raped >

  Thank you internet stranger >
  
  Because they were always meant to be performative rather than substantive. When your goal is not to actually investigate or solve problems but instead to keep the knuckle draggers in a perpetual state of rage and confusion, actual investigations aren't necessary or even beneficial. Instead you just announce the investigation, bark loudly on Fox News about it, and then simply move on to the next item of outrage, like why aren't our favorite candies sexy anymore, or why do we need to learn about black people in school. >

  Right! That callback knocked the cobwebs a bit.
