The fecklessness of Republicans has never been on fuller display than in the 119th Congress, which has not only been one of the least productive Congress's in American history, but also given us the longest government shutdown in American history. By the way, we're in another government shutdown right now, thanks to Democrats' ability to repeatedly pinion Republicans with congressional purse strings. Still, in spite of lacking the intestinal fortitude to exercise the power of their majority, to do important things, like rein in out of control government spending and pass legislation like the SAFE Act, to safeguard the integrity of our elections, Republicans still feign to be a tour de force rather than a troupe of feckless dweebs by incessantly instigating investigations. 

Will Rogers once said, "About all I can say for the United States Senate is that it opens with a prayer and closes with an investigation." When it comes to government investigations, Will Rogers added the following: "Government investigations have always contributed more to our amusement than they have to our knowledge." This latter comment of Rogers has been made more pointed today by being popularly paraphrased: "The best way to forget something is to open up a congressional investigation on it." 

One thing feckless Republicans have not failed to do is to conduct countless congressional investigations. Granted, it's hard to see anything that has come from them, but it's not because of any lack of them. Perhaps, one reason they've been so uneventful and ineffectual is the wrong people have been called to testify in the hot seats of congressional hearing rooms. For instance, Anthony Fauci, the little tinpot bureaucrat, who usurped dictatorial powers over our whole representative republic, during the COVID-19 pandemic, has never been asked or subpoenaed to testify before the 119th Congress, not only about his repeated lies to the American people, but also about his coverup of the origin of the virus, in which he may very well be implicated, not only for having played a part in it, but also for having used our taxpayer dollars to help pay for the gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China that spawned it. 

Instead of subpoenaing "Führer Fauci," over his unlawful and unconstitutional usurpation of control over our whole country, Republicans have subpoenaed the Clintons over the Epstein files. Facing indictments for contempt of Congress, because of their refusal to testify before Congress, which Democrats put Trump advisers Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon in prison for, the Clintons have decided to come to the People's House rather than to end up in the Big House. Still, the Clintons on Capitol Hill before James Comer's House Oversight Committee will prove to be a pathetic spectacle.

Now, it's not that the Clintons should not have been called to account long ago, not just over Bill's dalliances on Epstein's Island, but over the plethora of atrocities this dastardly duo have perpetrated against our representative republic over the years, but it's that Republicans' pitiful attempt to call the Clintons to account today is way too late and way too little. Bill, who looks like he has one foot in the grave and the other foot on a banana peel, with a strong wind blowing, will make a pathetic figure sitting there before Comer's committee, especially if ole Slick Willy shows up with his compact defibrillator designed to monitor cardiac activity and deliver emergency shocks in the event of a cardiac arrest. When it comes Hillary, she too is a pathetic figure, but for a different reason.

I like to call Hillary Clinton the Mona Desmond of modern-day politics. Of course, Mona Desmond was the silent movie star in Billy Wilder's classic movie Sunset Boulevard, who mistakenly believed that the public was still enamored with her and that she was soon to make a brilliant comeback and once again be the top box-office movie star in Hollywood. Hillary, is like Mona, in that she still believes the public is enamored with her and that her brilliant political comeback is just around the next corner. Little does she know that she's been reduced to irrelevance and turned into a laughingstock. Yet, Republicans are going to give her one final curtain call, in hopes of showing us that they're not a troupe of feckless dweebs, but a regular tour de force.
