Just playing catchup and I have to LOLOLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL at the mention of the blushing newlywed Oliver North as an example of keeping some underlings around for taking the fall. Yeah, he took the fall, but he never TOOK THE FUCK OFF and got out of our lives. Ughhhhhhhh!! But yeah, newlywed, LOLOLOL I almost feel bad for........Fawn?? The poor little deer, I mean, dear.
Lawrence O'Donnell and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse - one a lace-curtain Irish dude w/a couple of Harvard degrees, one a straight-up blue blood -- ROASTED him last night with scorn for his demonstrable lack of attention to detail both in his wardrobe and on his job
I know you guys are busy and that there was more Patel fun today, but please don’t sleep on the CDC hearing! Some really crazy shit happened there. Like, Markwayne Mullin claiming he had a secret recording and the whole committee looking at him like “excuse me?” and him having to take it back. Which I don’t see anyone reporting yet.
WTF is he on anyway? Shifty eyes, applying chap stick, straightening his tie— he’s like a cartoon flunky from a Coen brothers movie! This is really… wow. Could he make America look any more pathetic?
And the regime is doing the utmost to convince not just the base base, but also White Americans who don't want to do anything about this, that white supremacist violence doesn't exist ... when it's actually producing the most murders in the U.S. and has going back the last two years (though that's just the shooting incidents; the report they tried to disappear has it going back to 1990 and we have documentation today of it going back to 1915 and a credible argument could be made for the last 400 years)
Since he's not giving real answers anyway, I'd love to see a Senator just unload on him.
"This is an oversight committee meeting, you pathetic little twerp. Congress is Constitutionally charged with OVERSEEING your department so maintain a civil tone, stop insulting committee members, and answer the fucking questions asked of you."
“I don’t see it as a mistake. I see it as something — working with the public to identify that there was a subject in custody.” Yes, as e all know by now, Rethugs are perfect human beings who NEVER make a mistake.
I saw the part where Senator Adam Schiff was trying to ask questions and Krazy-eyes Kash started his incoherent ranting and screaming live. I noped out after a minute or two because I was losing IQ points. He’s an absolute insufferable, inept, ineffective imbecile.
The standard for all future Reploids, the mold to manufacture the hordes who will enthusiastically cheer as the Great Leader pieces out and sells part by part America as it once was. Homunculi who welcome being pissed on and believe when they are told it is just the nurturing rain from a smiling Providence.
Oh my God--the exchange from K$H and Swalwell? SO OBNOXIOUS from K$H--"why don't you spell it out for me? Why don't you serve the people of California? A, B, C, D..."
I would have smacked him upside the head for acting like that. I can't--I can, but still--believe a witness was allowed to answer like that. It's unhinged and disturbing.
This Trumpian tactic of screaming maniacally at everyone who asks even the most mundane questions is driving me nuts. I'm tired of hearing them scream as they poke their nasty little fingers at you. Patel, Hegseth, and Judge Boxwine are particularly "good" at it.
Its one of many tactics that the rethugs share in common with abusers. Intimidation, browbeating, shouting the victim (in this case, us and anyone who stands for us) down, and of course gaslighting - these are all tricks pulled by abusive partners, parents, and now politicians. The aim is to frighten us/them into backing off and shutting up, so the abuser doesn't have to face themselves and their actions. And they really don't like it when we stand up to them for that same reason.
Ta, Marcie. I'm so sorry you had to subject yourself to that.
Just how stupid does he think everybody is?
Given the caliber of folks he's surrounded by on the reg, it's likely he assumes everyone is about as sharp as a sack of wet mice.
“I am not afraid of you!”
Christ, what a weak thing to say. And this guy is considered a “fighter” by the Dems.
We’re doomed.
Just checked into Bluesky and "Dylan Roof" is trending because Kash Patel admitted in today's hearing that he didn't know who Roof is.

The woman in the blue suit, while listening to Ka$h get sworn in: “Christ, not this asshole again.”
Also, Ka$h can never be bothered to button the top button on his shirt that he’s wearing with a tie. Lazy slob

It was fun

That was wild
The doctor -- whom they picked -- blew RFK Jr's lies and nefarious expectations the **** up
His incompetence is what got him hired in the first place.
WTF is he on anyway? Shifty eyes, applying chap stick, straightening his tie— he’s like a cartoon flunky from a Coen brothers movie! This is really… wow. Could he make America look any more pathetic?
But Republicans ARE Nazis. Sorry to break it to you, Senator Durbin. You're not meeting the moment, Dick.
The dumbass doesn't know who Dylan Roof is! What a dumbass!
He's pretending
Because Dylan Roof is a white supremacist

Also trying to disappear official reports will blow your **** up in more than one language

So is Helldivers 2 any good? Asking for a friend...
It's supposed to be great. Kiddo plays with their friends often. I haven't tried it yet.
I don't think I'd like the online chatter.

Why Trash Dump told his christianistic followers that he has never asked their god for forgiveness.

He is, that is to say, a perfect Republican.

From Aaron Rupar on Xitter:
SWAWELL: If you don't know how many times Trump's name appears in the Epstein files, it could be at least 1,000 times. PATEL: It's not
SWAWELL: Is it at least 500 times? PATEL: No
SWALWELL: Is it at least 100 times? PATEL: No
SWALWELL: Then what is the number?
PATEL: The people of California are being underserved by your representation
I'm a Californian. I don't live in the 15th District, but I used to work there. And I am quite happy with Eric Swalwell's service.

they learned that watching Boof Kavanaugh
It really started years ago with Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh. Boof is a champion, though.
