We’re you able to show her the switches beneath, or was she more interested in the feel of it? :)

People can be allergic to sesame? Man, that's rough, it's in so many foods!
Every time I hear of a new food allergy I'm thankful I don't have any. Bravo for labeling things to help keep folks safer out there.

try having garlic and onion allergies. :(

i have met 2 people who were allergic to garlic and onions. 1 was also allergic to gluten, soy, and a few other things. i was cooking food at a larping even and offered extras to people around me. the only thing in my rice they could was the rice itself, but it was already mixed by then.

Why not just update packaging requirements instead of picking and choosing? They shouldn't be able to hide shit under "natural flavors"

Natural flavors is what they are allowed to describe Stevia, instead of calling it what it is - Stevia. Totally ridiculous on the part of our government.

I got an exam question wrong because I was insistent sesame was a major allergen. Daughters pediatrician was telling me about she sees sesame allergy frequently now when we discussing introducing allergens at 6m.
Hopeful this helps those with sesame allergies out.

Lol, this reminds me of the recertification I took 2 years ago. They had listed almond under nuts along with walnuts, pistachios, cashews. I stared at the screen & was stuck all because I knew almond should not be listed there. I'm like I should know because I am allergic to the rest, but not to almond because it's not a tree nut. I did email our state's health & my health inspector, never heard anything.

They do, but like cashews and pistachios, almonds are technically drupes--not tree nuts.
Drupes are fleshy fruits (like peaches) that have a nut-like shelled seed inside.

Holy crap, this probably explains why I get sick when I eat a bunch of almonds but cashews and everything else are totally fine!

Are you concerned about the news of many manufacturers just adding sesame to their product, simply because it's easier to list the allergen than prevent cross-contamination?
I hope your options for food don't become too low.

"May contain sesame" or "processed in a facility that processes sesame" aren't difficult.

News like this always makes me wonder:
How does humanity survive with so many allergens?
Why so many new allergens in the last ~20 years? Better diagnostics, or were these allergies not a thing 20 years ago?

"People can be allergic to sesame? Man, that's rough, it's in so many foods!\nEvery time I hear of a new food allergy I'm thankful I don't have any. Bravo for labeling things to help keep folks safer out there.",
">\n\ntry having garlic and onion allergies. :(",
">\n\ni have met 2 people who were allergic to garlic and onions. 1 was also allergic to gluten, soy, and a few other things. i was cooking food at a larping even and offered extras to people around me. the only thing in my rice they could was the rice itself, but it was already mixed by then.",
">\n\nlol, i would have been the person who couldn't eat the rice either. you never realize how common a lot of foods are until you have an allergy to them.",
">\n\nWhy not just update packaging requirements instead of picking and choosing? They shouldn't be able to hide shit under \"natural flavors\"",
">\n\nNatural flavors is what they are allowed to describe Stevia, instead of calling it what it is - Stevia. Totally ridiculous on the part of our government.",
">\n\nI got an exam question wrong because I was insistent sesame was a major allergen. Daughters pediatrician was telling me about she sees sesame allergy frequently now when we discussing introducing allergens at 6m. \nHopeful this helps those with sesame allergies out.",
">\n\nLol, this reminds me of the recertification I took 2 years ago. They had listed almond under nuts along with walnuts, pistachios, cashews. I stared at the screen & was stuck all because I knew almond should not be listed there. I'm like I should know because I am allergic to the rest, but not to almond because it's not a tree nut. I did email our state's health & my health inspector, never heard anything.",
">\n\nWait. Don't almonds grow on trees?",
">\n\nThey do, but like cashews and pistachios, almonds are technically drupes--not tree nuts.\nDrupes are fleshy fruits (like peaches) that have a nut-like shelled seed inside.\nedit: spelling",
">\n\nHoly crap, this probably explains why I get sick when I eat a bunch of almonds but cashews and everything else are totally fine!",
">\n\nWell, almonds are in the same category as those things.",
">\n\nOh wait, I thought you said \"unlike\" those nuts. Well then...",
">\n\nThank f’ing god. FINALLY.\nSon will stop breathing in under 10 minutes from 1 sesame seed. This is a blessing, will be required to list it out.",
">\n\nAre you concerned about the news of many manufacturers just adding sesame to their product, simply because it's easier to list the allergen than prevent cross-contamination?\nI hope your options for food don't become too low.",
">\n\nCould I have a source please?\n\"May contain sesame\" or \"processed in a facility that processes sesame\" aren't difficult.",
">\n\nNews like this always makes me wonder:\n\n\nHow does humanity survive with so many allergens?\n\n\nWhy so many new allergens in the last ~20 years? Better diagnostics, or were these allergies not a thing 20 years ago?",
">\n\n\nthese allergies not a thing 20 years ago?\n\nThis. The younger you are, the more likely you have a food allergy.",
">\n\nIt will be funny when we’ve fixed climate change but can’t eat food any more",
">\n\nMore like better recognition of allergies. Maybe you don’t know this but allergies aren’t a sign of kids becoming weaker",
">\n\nYou do realize if kids are all of a sudden developing more allergies, then yes, they are getting \"weaker\" in a sense, right?",
">\n\nYes, and your great grandpa probably had forearms like Popeye and we're just on reddit. As a society we've moved away from trying to breed exclusively perfect human specimens for about 80 years now."

Pretty ironic that the guy who slow rolled sexual assault allegation investigations, failed to report to authorities direct knowledge of said assaults, and basically just waited out the legal system...is asking for expeditious review of his requests....
For those not paying attention Jim Jordan isn't just an idiot. He has a history of covering up literal crimes.

Also pretty ironic that Jim ignored congressional subpoenas and claimed they were partisan in nature but now he specifically plans to investigate nothing but Dems

This article started my day with a smile and a chuckle.
^
In respective letters to Reps. James Comer (R-Ky) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), White House Special Counsel Richard Sauber said that the Biden administration had no immediate plans to respond to a slew of records requests that both men made the past several weeks. In those letters, obtained exclusively by POLITICO, Sauber described such requests as constitutionally illegitimate because both Jordan, who is expected to chair the House Judiciary Committee, and Comer, who is expected to head the Oversight Committee, made them before they had any authority to do so.
.....
White House officials, who briefed POLITICO, point to long-standing practice, going back to President Ronald Reagan’s administration , that ranking members in the minority do not jump-start the accommodations process on formal investigative requests. Sauber’s letter tells Jordan and Comer they should not expect records requests to be satisfied before they take their committee’s respective gavels.
....
The likely ascension of Jordan, one of the harder-lined conservatives in his party, to the chair of the Judiciary Committee could, in particular, set off major political fireworks. He’s viewed within the party as one of its most effective political bulldogs. But he has also taken stances to diminish the reach and scope of congressional oversight. Jordan has refused to comply with a congressional subpoena related to his conversations with the Trump White House around the Jan. 6 insurrection, and he spearheaded a 2019 letter to oversight Democrats lambasting “partisan” subpoenas issued as part of the first impeachment of President Donald Trump. His charge that Attorney General Merrick Garland called parents “terrorists” for attending school board meetings has been revealed as false .

I had the displeasure of meeting Jim Jordan a few times when he was just a local politician here in Ohio and I was working in republican politics (for which I have repented, earnestly and repeatedly).
He's as dumb, charmless, and unpleasant in person as he is on TV. He's also short, remarkably unattractive and has terrible breath. I have to think there's some kind of mint that can mask the sulphur, but no one's told him about it.
As stupid as he appears to be, he has a certain vulpine craftiness, like Wormwood with cauliflower ears.
Now as an ordained member of the clergy, I'm generally opposed to hating any man. But I'm willing to make an exception for Mr. Jordan and throw myself on Christ's mercy for wishing nothing but misery on that wretched fistula of a man.
If I believed in eternal conscious punishment, I'd have to spend a lot more time repenting for wishing it on that cancerous little pustule.

That’s why it’s so brilliant that the J6 Committee referred their ignored subpoenas to the soon to be Republican Ethics committee, instead of asking for Contempt directly.
The Ethics Committee will have to either say ignoring “partisan” subpoenas is bad and hold their own accountable; or let them off the hook, and see their own investigations stymied by their own playbook.
Of course the fatal flaws in their setup is underestimating the Republicans shamelessness and hypocrisy; while simultaneously overestimating the Democrats willingness to get a set of balls and fight.

I don’t get how so many powerful Democrats still haven’t figured out that GOP doesn’t care about hypocrisy.
It’s like how religious right backed a Mormon & then a guy who has cheated on his three wives & can’t quote a single Bible verse, all while saying the Democrat candidates were evil, despite them actually having a record of going to church.

I know r/politics hates this but Dems need to appeal to the center; moderates and independents are key to winning elections and part of that strategy is letting Cons demonstrate they’re unfit to govern. Dems can’t pull the same shit that Cons do and refuse subpoenas and to play tit for tat.

Youth helped big time this midterm. Why? Because the democrats started paying attention to things that are important to them.
If the Dems court them on things that matter to them. climate change, student loans. They started to come out.
All you’re saying is they don’t vote because no one does anything in their best interest.
Time to change that.
Edit: your nonsense idea to court the people who can never make up their minds and then vote Republican anyway is why the Overton window in our American politics has been pushed so far right. Enough with that bullshit.

The caricature of old sleep Joe Biden bumbling through his presidency comes to mind. The mainstream GOP oddly bought into that caricature of Biden. and it has served this administration very well.
Public theater to serve up a vendetta, that’s not oversight. When you underestimate your opponent and also show your hand, that arrogance is likely to get you politically spanked. The political reality of the Red Wave apparently hasn’t sunk in.
These clowns have repeatedly underestimated the Biden team. I get a feeling they may get more than a spanking, more like old fashion hard ball. Mitch McConnell’s mediocre candidate nightmare is about to unfold.

I’ve tuned mine also. Two old warriors at the end of their games. I just can’t help to notice the stride of the two men. One is leading his party with confidence. The other slowly being pushed to the sidelines, being ignored.
These two old warriors go back a long way, and I understand are good on a personal level. I’ve wondered how they view each other. Success and failure do make odd bedfellows.

Spending all their time being a jobsworth is how they justify not ever getting anything substantive done to their base. Instead of dealing with inflation, immigration, health care, prescription drug prices, etc. they can point to bringing sexy back to the green M&M, removing stripper poles, litter boxes, and drag queens from our public schools, ensuring that kids are not being taught CRT, replacing any book that has anything sexual in it with Cat in the Hat, and restoring masculinity to our plastic potato head dolls. You know the real kitchen table issues affecting all Americans.

Well said. The mystery to me is why they continue to garner votes in this day of a plethora of instant information access. This election cycle revealed a bit of a shift due to the Dobbs decision I think. Still, some voters continue to cut their noses off the spite their face to own the libs I guess.

I think this is (slowly) changing some minds. It’s never going to be a total 180, but quite a few friends of mine have said with all that’s going on right now, they want to investigate hunter Biden. A few of those have already said they won’t vote republican again unless these shenanigans end, and a few of those few have even gone as far as to say they’re quite happy with what Biden is doing as president.
I’m not saying we’re approaching the end of the tunnel, but I would cautiously suggest we might be seeing the light on the walls…

This is my favorite part of the story:
Comer, in a Dec. 6 letter questioning the administration’s troop withdrawal from Afghanistan , demanded that the White House provide responsive material “no later than December 20, 2022.” In joint Dec. 13 letters to several administration officials relating to the origins of Covid-19, Jordan and Comer demanded materials by no later than December 27, 2022.
And the response is just chef's kiss
In those letters, obtained exclusively by POLITICO, Sauber described such requests as constitutionally illegitimate because both Jordan, who is expected to chair the House Judiciary Committee, and Comer, who is expected to head the Oversight Committee, made them before they had any authority to do so.
“Congress has not delegated such [oversight] authority to individual members of Congress who are not committee chairmen, and the House has not done so under its current Rules,” wrote Sauber, one of the White House’s top oversight lawyers.
Now they just need to completely ignore them once they are appointed, like the Trump WH and Jordan himself did.

My expectation, and presumably the expectation of all republicans now, is that every subpoena will be sued, challenged, and then sued again all the way to the supreme court. Honestly im gunna freak if anyone complies with a single witch hunt subpoena

...important issues such as the border and fentanyl crises, the energy crisis, botched Afghanistan withdrawal, COVID origins, and the Biden family’s influence peddling.
The Supreme Court demanded Biden leave the border in its current state, under a Trump era executive order. If you want to know what's going on at the border, ask Trump, he created it.
Fentanyl busts at the border have skyrocketed. Is the GOP upset by this? Is that why they're investigating it? Busts mean work is being done to stop it from getting in. Does this upset the GOP?
Afghanistan went exactly as Trump planned it to go. It was a time bomb created by Trump, and dumped on Biden's administration on January 21st, with no way for the administration to work on it before then because Trumps admin refused to work with Biden's transition team. This was all intentional. So, Comer, now you know all you need to know...
COVID origins? It originated in China. If you want records surrounding exactly where, ask China for those records. Trump was in office when COVID kicked off. If it was paramount to have this info, why didn't they ask the friendly administration that was in charge when it was happening.
Influence peddling? Jesus. The GOP has no shame at all.
Every single issue in question here is a Trump era issue that Republicans own outright. They want to drag Biden on them, but they created each and every one of them. I hate these obvious political hacks with every fiber of my being.

Very similar to the Benghazi investigations.
For those who didn't follow it... Obama took action against Libya. The Republican reaction was... predictable. "You're not authorized! We're going to impeach you!" etc. etc.
They cut the funding for the Libya operation, and then Benghazi happened.
Notice how none of the Republicans mentioned that Benghazi was IN Libya? Or how the funding for extra security was shot down by Republicans?
They created the problem, desperately wanted to prosecute Clinton and Obama for it... and then... Whoops! I guess nothing happened after all!

Trump was in office when COVID kicked off. If it was paramount to have this info, why didn't they ask the friendly administration that was in charge when it was happening.\nInfluence peddling? Jesus. The GOP has no shame at all.\nEvery single issue in question here is a Trump era issue that Republicans own outright. They want to drag Biden on them, but they created each and every one of them. I hate these obvious political hacks with every fiber of my being."

I think the MAGA drooling republicans are going to get lessons from president Biden over the next two years on how government works. This is just the first hour of the first day of a two year class.

This is so hilarious, given that literally the very first action the new GOP congressional majority did in 2017 was to end all oversight so that they and Trump could do whatever they wanted without question.

Until the Democrats push back with as much legal force as the Republicans have been using against them in every single session, they are not going to get anywhere.
They have to learn to ignore every subpoena, just like the Republicans do. Take them to court over it, appeal it, appeal it again, do whatever it takes to drag it out. Make them tear their hair out. If you want to see a serious influx of new progressive young voters, you better give them something to vote for. Because they sure as hell don't want the tired old Democratic party who is always fair and ready to capitulate over principles. They want change. They want a government who is really ready to deliver promises, and are willing to fight for them against these nasty Republicans, and not in a namby pamby, let's pretend like we're opponents, wink.

Only in America would Jim Jordan, whose rise to power and influence was on the backs of countless sexual assault victims and was an active participant in an attempted coup, be the ranking member and chairperson of a government judiciary committee.
And only in America would a passive aggressive response to their requests be seen as a "win". Republicans are the new Nazis and Democrats are too weak to exercise their authority.
The government is so broken that it's been ten years since the fight for $15/hour began and we're only given bullshit stories and drama. These people aren't working for us. They are putting on a play to distract us from the fact that they are not working for us. Nothing will fundamentally change.
Edit: and to preemptively stop people from telling me that i need to vote - i was on the ground turning Georgia blue.

Republicans have been whining and screeching about various supposed policy failings of the Democratic Party, yet now that they’ve obtained a majority (however thin), they choose to focus their efforts on… investigations of nonsense conspiracy theories. You know what? Whatever. They won’t find anything, and it’ll keep them from actively destroying the country.

"Pretty ironic that the guy who slow rolled sexual assault allegation investigations, failed to report to authorities direct knowledge of said assaults, and basically just waited out the legal system...is asking for expeditious review of his requests....\nFor those not paying attention Jim Jordan isn't just an idiot.

">\n\nThis article started my day with a smile and a chuckle. \n^\n\nIn respective letters to Reps. James Comer (R-Ky) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), White House Special Counsel Richard Sauber said that the Biden administration had no immediate plans to respond to a slew of records requests that both men made the past several weeks. In those letters, obtained exclusively by POLITICO, Sauber described such requests as constitutionally illegitimate because both Jordan, who is expected to chair the House Judiciary Committee, and Comer, who is expected to head the Oversight Committee, made them before they had any authority to do so.\n\n.....\n\nWhite House officials, who briefed POLITICO, point to long-standing practice, going back to President Ronald Reagan’s administration , that ranking members in the minority do not jump-start the accommodations process on formal investigative requests. Sauber’s letter tells Jordan and Comer they should not expect records requests to be satisfied before they take their committee’s respective gavels.\n\n....\n\nThe likely ascension of Jordan, one of the harder-lined conservatives in his party, to the chair of the Judiciary Committee could, in particular, set off major political fireworks. He’s viewed within the party as one of its most effective political bulldogs. But he has also taken stances to diminish the reach and scope of congressional oversight. Jordan has refused to comply with a congressional subpoena related to his conversations with the Trump White House around the Jan. 6 insurrection, and he spearheaded a 2019 letter to oversight Democrats lambasting “partisan” subpoenas issued as part of the first impeachment of President Donald Trump. His charge that Attorney General Merrick Garland called parents “terrorists” for attending school board meetings has been revealed as false .\n\nArticle continues...",

Republicans are the new Nazis and Democrats are too weak to exercise their authority.\nThe government is so broken that it's been ten years since the fight for $15/hour began and we're only given bullshit stories and drama.

"Pretty ironic that the guy who slow rolled sexual assault allegation investigations, failed to report to authorities direct knowledge of said assaults, and basically just waited out the legal system...is asking for expeditious review of his requests....\nFor those not paying attention Jim Jordan isn't just an idiot. He has a history of covering up literal crimes.",
">\n\nAlso pretty ironic that Jim ignored congressional subpoenas and claimed they were partisan in nature but now he specifically plans to investigate nothing but Dems",
">\n\nGym has no moral compass.",
">\n\nBut he’s got the good drugs",
">\n\nThis article started my day with a smile and a chuckle. \n^\n\nIn respective letters to Reps. James Comer (R-Ky) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), White House Special Counsel Richard Sauber said that the Biden administration had no immediate plans to respond to a slew of records requests that both men made the past several weeks. In those letters, obtained exclusively by POLITICO, Sauber described such requests as constitutionally illegitimate because both Jordan, who is expected to chair the House Judiciary Committee, and Comer, who is expected to head the Oversight Committee, made them before they had any authority to do so.\n\n.....\n\nWhite House officials, who briefed POLITICO, point to long-standing practice, going back to President Ronald Reagan’s administration , that ranking members in the minority do not jump-start the accommodations process on formal investigative requests. Sauber’s letter tells Jordan and Comer they should not expect records requests to be satisfied before they take their committee’s respective gavels.\n\n....\n\nThe likely ascension of Jordan, one of the harder-lined conservatives in his party, to the chair of the Judiciary Committee could, in particular, set off major political fireworks. He’s viewed within the party as one of its most effective political bulldogs. But he has also taken stances to diminish the reach and scope of congressional oversight. Jordan has refused to comply with a congressional subpoena related to his conversations with the Trump White House around the Jan. 6 insurrection, and he spearheaded a 2019 letter to oversight Democrats lambasting “partisan” subpoenas issued as part of the first impeachment of President Donald Trump. His charge that Attorney General Merrick Garland called parents “terrorists” for attending school board meetings has been revealed as false .\n\nArticle continues...",
">\n\nI'd love to see something to the effect of \"the Biden Administration will respond to subpoena's issued by Congressman Jordan with the same alacrity with which Congressman Jordan has replied to his own subpoenas from Congress.\"",
">\n\nSubpoenas are now meaningless in the govnt",
">\n\nCan't wait to see the Republicans get outraged by Democrats ignoring subpoenas as if there is zero precedence for it. They opened a can of worms and they'll pretend it was opened by dems.",
">\n\nyou absolutely know that republicans will be up in arms when subpoenas from congress are ignored claiming democrats don't believe in congressional oversight without a hint of irony.",
">\n\nOh but it is different for them since it isn’t a witch hunt and is legitimate. /s",
">\n\nI had the displeasure of meeting Jim Jordan a few times when he was just a local politician here in Ohio and I was working in republican politics (for which I have repented, earnestly and repeatedly). \nHe's as dumb, charmless, and unpleasant in person as he is on TV. He's also short, remarkably unattractive and has terrible breath. I have to think there's some kind of mint that can mask the sulphur, but no one's told him about it.\nAs stupid as he appears to be, he has a certain vulpine craftiness, like Wormwood with cauliflower ears.\nNow as an ordained member of the clergy, I'm generally opposed to hating any man. But I'm willing to make an exception for Mr. Jordan and throw myself on Christ's mercy for wishing nothing but misery on that wretched fistula of a man. \nIf I believed in eternal conscious punishment, I'd have to spend a lot more time repenting for wishing it on that cancerous little pustule.",
">\n\nPlease, I beg you, become an author. Your descriptive writings must be shared generously, not trapped within the realm of reddit alone!",
">\n\nAw, thanks. I do a little writing for work.",
">\n\nIt’s time to write a book or two or several. Don’t let your talent go to waste.",
">\n\nThe same guy who defied a congressional subpoena now wants to use those same powers to do oversight.",
">\n\nThat’s why it’s so brilliant that the J6 Committee referred their ignored subpoenas to the soon to be Republican Ethics committee, instead of asking for Contempt directly.\nThe Ethics Committee will have to either say ignoring “partisan” subpoenas is bad and hold their own accountable; or let them off the hook, and see their own investigations stymied by their own playbook.\nOf course the fatal flaws in their setup is underestimating the Republicans shamelessness and hypocrisy; while simultaneously overestimating the Democrats willingness to get a set of balls and fight.",
">\n\nI don’t get how so many powerful Democrats still haven’t figured out that GOP doesn’t care about hypocrisy.\nIt’s like how religious right backed a Mormon & then a guy who has cheated on his three wives & can’t quote a single Bible verse, all while saying the Democrat candidates were evil, despite them actually having a record of going to church.",
">\n\nI agree with you except one thing, do you think Mormons aren’t Christian?",
">\n\nThey are as much Christian as the NOI is Islam",
">\n\nGotta love it. Jordan wants everyone else to follow the rules except him.",
">\n\nI'd love to see the white house or other Democratic members of congress just decline his subpoenas the way he did.",
">\n\nExcept that Democrats don’t have anything to hide.",
">\n\nThey also have nothing to gain by playing into illegitimate subpoenas being issued to muddy the waters. We play by the rules so long as they do but they changed the rules so fuck em.",
">\n\nI know r/politics hates this but Dems need to appeal to the center; moderates and independents are key to winning elections and part of that strategy is letting Cons demonstrate they’re unfit to govern. Dems can’t pull the same shit that Cons do and refuse subpoenas and to play tit for tat.",
">\n\nNo. You’re completely wrong. Appealing to progressive youth is the way of the future.",
">\n\nYes, appeal to the group that doesn't vote. Excellent strategy.",
">\n\nYouth helped big time this midterm. Why? Because the democrats started paying attention to things that are important to them. \nIf the Dems court them on things that matter to them. climate change, student loans. They started to come out. \nAll you’re saying is they don’t vote because no one does anything in their best interest. \nTime to change that.\nEdit: your nonsense idea to court the people who can never make up their minds and then vote Republican anyway is why the Overton window in our American politics has been pushed so far right. Enough with that bullshit.",
">\n\nAgreed. The dark Brandon memes were some of the best dem comm strategies I've ever seen.",
">\n\nAbsolutely",
">\n\nGym is dying to see Hunters Hog.",
">\n\nI do believe Hunter is far too old for Gym's interest.",
">\n\nHEY NOW! He never child diddled himself, he only COVERED UP child diddling, which is perfectly ok.\n\n!/s!<",
">\n\nBirds of a shit feather flock together, Randy.",
">\n\nObligatory reminder that Jim Jordan covered for a vicious sexual predator at Ohio State University.",
">\n\nThe caricature of old sleep Joe Biden bumbling through his presidency comes to mind. The mainstream GOP oddly bought into that caricature of Biden. and it has served this administration very well. \nPublic theater to serve up a vendetta, that’s not oversight. When you underestimate your opponent and also show your hand, that arrogance is likely to get you politically spanked. The political reality of the Red Wave apparently hasn’t sunk in. \nThese clowns have repeatedly underestimated the Biden team. I get a feeling they may get more than a spanking, more like old fashion hard ball. Mitch McConnell’s mediocre candidate nightmare is about to unfold.",
">\n\n\nMitch McConnell’s mediocre candidate nightmare is about to unfold.\n\nI've tuned and polished my tiny violin for the occasion along with a bottle of bubbly.",
">\n\nI’ve tuned mine also. Two old warriors at the end of their games. I just can’t help to notice the stride of the two men. One is leading his party with confidence. The other slowly being pushed to the sidelines, being ignored. \nThese two old warriors go back a long way, and I understand are good on a personal level. I’ve wondered how they view each other. Success and failure do make odd bedfellows.",
">\n\nSo Republicans always want to be a \"jobsworth\", nice to see the Democrats are learning to play the same game.",
">\n\nSpending all their time being a jobsworth is how they justify not ever getting anything substantive done to their base. Instead of dealing with inflation, immigration, health care, prescription drug prices, etc. they can point to bringing sexy back to the green M&M, removing stripper poles, litter boxes, and drag queens from our public schools, ensuring that kids are not being taught CRT, replacing any book that has anything sexual in it with Cat in the Hat, and restoring masculinity to our plastic potato head dolls. You know the real kitchen table issues affecting all Americans.",
">\n\nWell said. The mystery to me is why they continue to garner votes in this day of a plethora of instant information access. This election cycle revealed a bit of a shift due to the Dobbs decision I think. Still, some voters continue to cut their noses off the spite their face to own the libs I guess.",
">\n\nI think this is (slowly) changing some minds. It’s never going to be a total 180, but quite a few friends of mine have said with all that’s going on right now, they want to investigate hunter Biden. A few of those have already said they won’t vote republican again unless these shenanigans end, and a few of those few have even gone as far as to say they’re quite happy with what Biden is doing as president. \nI’m not saying we’re approaching the end of the tunnel, but I would cautiously suggest we might be seeing the light on the walls…",
">\n\nThat is very encouraging; perhaps the far right of the GOP have overplayed their hands and manufactured drama.",
">\n\nThis is my favorite part of the story:\n\nComer, in a Dec. 6 letter questioning the administration’s troop withdrawal from Afghanistan , demanded that the White House provide responsive material “no later than December 20, 2022.” In joint Dec. 13 letters to several administration officials relating to the origins of Covid-19, Jordan and Comer demanded materials by no later than December 27, 2022. \n\nAnd the response is just chef's kiss\n\nIn those letters, obtained exclusively by POLITICO, Sauber described such requests as constitutionally illegitimate because both Jordan, who is expected to chair the House Judiciary Committee, and Comer, who is expected to head the Oversight Committee, made them before they had any authority to do so.\n“Congress has not delegated such [oversight] authority to individual members of Congress who are not committee chairmen, and the House has not done so under its current Rules,” wrote Sauber, one of the White House’s top oversight lawyers. \n\nNow they just need to completely ignore them once they are appointed, like the Trump WH and Jordan himself did.",
">\n\nMy expectation, and presumably the expectation of all republicans now, is that every subpoena will be sued, challenged, and then sued again all the way to the supreme court. Honestly im gunna freak if anyone complies with a single witch hunt subpoena",
">\n\nSlowwalk every request- declare executive privilege for everything and blow off every subpoena. Fuck the gop.",
">\n\nI think they should challenge every subpoena in court. Every single one. And appeal if necessary. Play within the rules.",
">\n\nAnd if they lose, appeal. And if they lose that appeal, appeal. Take it all the way up to the intergalactic Supreme Court.",
">\n\nThe Republicans are acting like they already control the House, which they don't. Biden was right to make them redo it.",
">\n\n\n...important issues such as the border and fentanyl crises, the energy crisis, botched Afghanistan withdrawal, COVID origins, and the Biden family’s influence peddling. \n\nThe Supreme Court demanded Biden leave the border in its current state, under a Trump era executive order. If you want to know what's going on at the border, ask Trump, he created it.\nFentanyl busts at the border have skyrocketed. Is the GOP upset by this? Is that why they're investigating it? Busts mean work is being done to stop it from getting in. Does this upset the GOP?\nAfghanistan went exactly as Trump planned it to go. It was a time bomb created by Trump, and dumped on Biden's administration on January 21st, with no way for the administration to work on it before then because Trumps admin refused to work with Biden's transition team. This was all intentional. So, Comer, now you know all you need to know...\nCOVID origins? It originated in China. If you want records surrounding exactly where, ask China for those records. Trump was in office when COVID kicked off. If it was paramount to have this info, why didn't they ask the friendly administration that was in charge when it was happening.\nInfluence peddling? Jesus. The GOP has no shame at all.\nEvery single issue in question here is a Trump era issue that Republicans own outright. They want to drag Biden on them, but they created each and every one of them. I hate these obvious political hacks with every fiber of my being.",
">\n\nVery similar to the Benghazi investigations.\nFor those who didn't follow it... Obama took action against Libya. The Republican reaction was... predictable. \"You're not authorized! We're going to impeach you!\" etc. etc.\nThey cut the funding for the Libya operation, and then Benghazi happened.\nNotice how none of the Republicans mentioned that Benghazi was IN Libya? Or how the funding for extra security was shot down by Republicans?\nThey created the problem, desperately wanted to prosecute Clinton and Obama for it... and then... Whoops! I guess nothing happened after all!",
">\n\nI think the MAGA drooling republicans are going to get lessons from president Biden over the next two years on how government works. This is just the first hour of the first day of a two year class.",
">\n\n\nThis is just the first hour of the first day of a two year class. \n\nNah, this is just sending out the syllabus two weeks ahead of when class is about to be in session.",
">\n\nSo says Jordan who ignored subpoenas. Trump set the bar, delay, sue, delay, appeal, ignore.",
">\n\nNo need to respond to subpoenas, gym j already showed you don’t have to",
">\n\nJordan refused to respond to the 1/6 committee subpoena. It’s very odd behavior to expect cooperation from anyone he targets.",
">\n\nWhy do the media never bring up the Ohio State stuff with Gym? He's at a minimum an enabler and has gotten a free pass. It's insane.",
">\n\nRight out of the gate, jordan and comer broadcast their incompetence, ignorance, and the skeevy nature of their motives. Stop trying to game the system and start doing the work of actually making America better for all of its citizens.",
">\n\nThis is so hilarious, given that literally the very first action the new GOP congressional majority did in 2017 was to end all oversight so that they and Trump could do whatever they wanted without question.",
">\n\nRepublican James Comer:\n\n“Just before dawn at 4:33 a.m., the White House informed us they will not provide the answers we have been seeking . . . “\n\nOh, my! Say it ain’t so!\nComer must’ve gone to the Fox school for melodramatic acting.",
">\n\nJordan the lowlife should have long been in prison for these sexual abuse claims, this is another extreme far right Trumpite who also needs to be held to account over participation in the attempted overthrow of the election",
">\n\nPlaying to their base is what the elected domestic terrorists do best. Well, after invading women's private medical decisions, interfering in the right to vote by likely Dem voters, continuing their over funding of the war machine, tax giveaways to their oligarchic donors, decimating democracy by protecting the seditionist head of their \"political party\", gleefully committing human rights violations and pitting workers against innocent refugees fleeing the effects from our aggression against poor countries from around the world, and, of course, wantonly destroying the world's environment by supporting global corporations that continue to spew greenhouse gasses.",
">\n\nLuckily, Repubs have already established that government officials don't have to comply with subpoena requests.",
">\n\nGym Jordan: We want things.\nBiden: Hey look, rules! I think we should follow them.",
">\n\nUntil the Democrats push back with as much legal force as the Republicans have been using against them in every single session, they are not going to get anywhere.\nThey have to learn to ignore every subpoena, just like the Republicans do. Take them to court over it, appeal it, appeal it again, do whatever it takes to drag it out. Make them tear their hair out. If you want to see a serious influx of new progressive young voters, you better give them something to vote for. Because they sure as hell don't want the tired old Democratic party who is always fair and ready to capitulate over principles. They want change. They want a government who is really ready to deliver promises, and are willing to fight for them against these nasty Republicans, and not in a namby pamby, let's pretend like we're opponents, wink.",
