Darrell Issa is a buffoon and wrong about everything. Also, if they ever really get to work on this special Benghazi! committee, it is going to produce the biggest nothing-burger since Kenneth Starr’s Whitewater report. In fact, it won’t even be half as damning as Starr’s report, which found absolutely nothing on Whitewater.

The whole “stand down” order has always been the least plausible part of the #Benghazi narrative.
And that’s really saying something.
If all these asshole Republicans would work this hard and spend this much money working on issues that would help the American people they supposedly represent, this country would be an outstanding place to be.
Sadly, assholes they are, and nothing good gets done.
Well, Issa’s GOP constituents sent him to Washington to ‘burn the place down’.
He has skillz, doncha know.
Does someone have a short, concise list of the alleged impeachable offenses committed by the President, Benghazi-related or otherwise?
I’m actually serious about this. I did a bit of web searching and could not find any. I could find 100s of thousands of web pages demanding impeachment, but every one I looked at implicitly assumes that the mountain of offenses is so obvious that they don’t bother actually listing them. The few that I did see listed (he used executive orders! signing statements! made recess appointments!) were so incredibly stupid that only a wingnut could actually believe that they were different than anything Presidents have been doing for centuries – especially George “Miss me yet?” Bush.
Is it possible that the wingnut bubble is so tight that they’ve convinced themselves that impeachment is obvious without actually having any plausible charges?
No, I don’t mean the real motivations. I mean the allegations.

I only glanced through them briefly. They might be Onion-based.
Wow. I didn’t know what to expect, but goodness me, that is some weak, weak sauce. Beyond the missing “long-form birth certificate”, the rest boils down to “waaaaa waaaa, he’s not Presidenting the way I want him to!! WAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!” It’s pretty funny until you realize that they basically view a mechanism that was built in to deal with abuses of power as a way to nullify elections results that they don’t like.
They’re both incredibly stupid and disturbingly cynical.

Yes.
Darrel Issa is a dumpster fire. It continues to rage because no one with any integrity, self-respect, or a working olfactory nerve wants to get anywhere near his bullshit.
Except for the morans that re-elect him every two years. Or maybe that’s their insurance policy that they’ll never see or smell him in the district.
And our idiot Postmaster-General who lives with his nose up Issa’s butt.
Stockholm Syndrome.
Don’t see how that applies.
Obama’s appointment; so, am hard pressed not to believe that he has approval for putting his nose up Issa’s butt.
Privatizing the USPS and US public education is on the DEM neo-liberal agenda and Democrats refuse to recognize this anymore than even now they recognize that Clinton took a wrecking ball to New Deal financial regulation.
To be fair, he didn’t have much choice. I believe the law requires him to choose from the board of governors which was created on Bush’s watch, so he had to choose the best of Bush’s appointees. However, it does look like he picked the worst.
I’m just glad that humans are mortal.
A buffoon who rakes in the campaign finances by the bucketload. Issa learned from Starr’s reports that it wasn’t the result that fired up the money, it was the rhetoric the platform provided. Policies be damned, it’s the money that matters.
Nice!
