Robin Abcarian: If Republicans retake the House, steel yourself for the New McCarthyism

It is unbelievably depressing to contemplate the sheer amount of buffoonery that will be unleashed on the country if Republicans take back the House in November.

We will be in for at least two years of congressional stupidity, pointlessness and the endless yammering of Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, who is poised to become chairman of the Judiciary Committee, God help us.

At least we can be thankful that Jordan's fellow Medal of Freedom awardee Devin Nunes, the embarrassing former California congressman, is no longer with us. Politically, I mean. He gave up his seat to head up former President Donald Trump's flailing social media venture.
