      And never results in actual kicking out the guy, so it’s something like a local folklore show. In Polish parliament we have them too, but random acts of catholic devotion and “Putin bad” rituals.

        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

              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.

        Reminds me of that photo of all the Japanese politicians physically wrestling for a single pen.
