'Off the deep end': Columnist gives a rundown of 'looney tunes behavior going on day after day' in Congress

The U.S. House of Representatives has been even crazier than expected since Republicans took back the majority in last year's elections, and a columnist laid out the 'looney tunes' details.

Republican-led committees have tried to find evidence that President Joe Biden, his family and his administration are engaged in criminal corruption, and while they haven't turned up any smoking guns themselves they're throwing a fit because Hunter Biden was only given probation on misdemeanor tax charges instead of "being immediately marched off to solitary confinement," wrote Salon columnist Heather Digby Parton.

Former GOP congressman shames colleagues for taking credit for funding they opposed

After President Joe Biden's $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill was signed into law in 2021, the White House says it has distributed around of $42 billion across America to expand internet access to rural and isolated communities and fund roads and bridges, public transit, water infrastructure, power grids, and airports.

Republicans who voted in favor of the bill at the time were attacked by members of their own party. As Newsweek points out, Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene even called them "traitors."

Biden impeachment push expected to 'dominate' Congress agenda for months: report

'Typical political rhetoric': Insiders privately dismiss GOP promise to overhaul DOJ as empty 'posturing'

With former President Donald Trump facing a 37-count federal criminal prosecution, countless Republicans are claiming that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has been "weaponized" against members of their party. Even Republicans who are running against Trump in the 2024 GOP presidential primary are making that claim, and they are promising a dramatic overhaul of DOJ if elected president.

But journalist David M. Drucker, in an article published by The Dispatch on June 28, reports that privately, some Republicans are dismissing that promise as right-wing performance art.

Trump-defending Elise Stefanik's latest resolution could be too extreme for GOP lawmakers: analyst

Both Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and House Republican Conference chair Elise Stefanik (NY) have competing proposals for expunging Donald Trump's two impeachments from the Congressional Record and, surprisingly the New York Republican's has less of a chance of getting the needed votes because of some of her claims.

Last week both MAGA Republicans announced plans to rewrite history with regards Trump's 2019 impeachment trial for attempting to blackmail Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy into digging up dirt on now-President Joe Biden, as well as the 2021 impeachment trial for inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection that forced lawmakers from both sides of the aisle to flee for their lives.

'You throw crap against the wall': Former RNC head slaps down Kevin McCarthy for trying to rewrite history

On Monday morning, former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele dropped the hammer on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for backing plans by Reps. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for a proposal to expunge Donald Trump's two impeachments from the Congressional Record.

Steele's comments came on "Morning Joe" after host Mika Brzezinski shared clips of a combative McCarthy defending the plan last Friday, which in turn led the ex-GOP official to scorch the top Republican's scrambling attempt to justify spending the House's time on a purely symbolic gesture that can't erase the historical record.

Steele took particular exception to McCarthy's mention of special counsel John Durham's report that resulted in no convictions.

"You just create the confusion, you just throw crap up against the wall," Steele accused, "and everybody is going to run around and try to figure out, well, can they do that? What does it mean?"

"The reality of it is, you're not -- you can't expunge the impeachment," he exclaimed. "Yeah, you can take it out of the official Congressional Record, but it doesn't change history, it doesn't change what happened. It doesn't change the fact that you and a lot of Republicans are on the record during that time talking about the very thing you said never happened and didn't exist and they weren't saying it didn't happen and it didn't exist."

"So the reality of it is, this is just more confusion," he continued. "Again, for me, it just boils down to, how damn dumb and desperate do you have to be to continue to find a way to keep Donald Trump's behind out of trouble as he keeps putting himself in trouble?"

"I mean, look, all the stuff that we're talking about, Mika, this stuff that Trump did -- nobody else but him. Yet, these folks are just --- they're beside themselves, they bend themselves backward and put their heads in very dark places to protect this man. It's just astounding to me, he could care less about Kevin," he added.
