It’s all bread and circuses from republicans who are trying to appear “strong” for their constituents. It’s all a sham.
I expect that we'll see some dirty laundry aired, and I imagine the whole point is to embarrass Biden ahead of the election next year. One obvious angle they can take is to dig into Hunter's business dealings in Ukraine and if they can connect that directly to Biden, then they can argue that he's compromised and the whole war was a result of a corrupt president running it for personal interest. With public opinion already turning on the war, this would play well with their base. @PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml
Their base already thinks that and libs don't care
And that's precisely why it plays so well with their base. It makes it look like repubs are fighting the corruption, draining the swamp, etc.
