Just For Xeets and Giggles

This week, the GOP had been hoping to keep Washington and the media focused exclusively on the Bidens, both Joe and his son Hunter. Kevin McCarthy went searching for his spine but instead wound up calling for a full-on impeachment inquiry, despite no evidence to move forward on.
