To recap: Everybody knew that they were itching to impeach President Biden on some trumped-up charge, because their fee-fees got hurt when what's-his-name got impeached for reasons that Democrats could at least intelligibly articulate. And then they chickened out, because they couldn't get anything out of the giant, Hunter Biden nothing-burger, and impeachment'd be a political loser so big that even they sensed it.

So now they've nailed Mayorkas as a Biden surrogate for, I guess, reasons? Everybody knows damn well that it's just a temper tantrum—the best charge that they can level is empty boilerplate, which is weird because they've hallucinated an entire migrant "invasion," one would think that a few specifics would be forthcoming. Maybe they've hit their quota on creative thought for the year?

Anyway, they couldn't nab the big dog, but at least now the so-called "centrists" have fuel for their what-about-ism, so— hooray?
