See the following:

In a column for Washington Post that is both sarcastic and scathing, Dana Milbank mocked Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) for spending more time filing lawsuits against his critics then doing the job voters sent him to Washington D.C. to do.

Under a headline stating, “Raise your hand if you have not been sued by Devin Nunes, ” the columnist writes that his own paper has now been served with papers by the California congressman — joining an extensive list that also includes a Twitter “cow.”

“In these grim times — pandemic spreading, markets crashing, society shutting down — it seems there is nowhere we can turn for good news. But there is! Devin Nunes, bless his heart, is still filing lawsuits. The top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee has aided by a lawyer with a colorful past and a flair for invective, sued just about everybody who criticizes him,” Milbank wrote with tongue in cheek.
.
.
Milbank pointedly notes that despite his flurry of lawsuits, Nunes once sponsored the “Discouraging Frivolous Lawsuits Act of 2017.”

“The litigious lawmaker is seeking damages of about $1 billion in his (on occasion careless) lawsuits. He dropped at least one, and another, a racketeering case targeting Fusion GPS and the Campaign for Accountability, was just thrown out by a federal judge who cited doubts about ‘the factual pleadings and the court’s jurisdiction,'” the columnist wrote before adding, “I’m not a lawyer, but there seems to be an obvious problem with Nunes’s strategy. He generally sues for defamation, but nobody could make Nunes look worse than his own lawsuits do. They read less like legal pleadings than ALL CAPS social media rants.”

These ass hats should be rounded up and held in a pen together waiting trial. Maybe by the time the trail started they’d all be gone.

Meanwhile, I hope his constituents are brighter than he is.

And yes, he's really that fucking stupid and dangerous.

Anything to stop this deadly foolishness. "If healthy" is a meaningless phrase right now. What a jerk.

it will be informative to compare the death rate between Fox viewers and others. They are doing this on purpose, but I can't figure out what the purpose is.
