I'm going to parse the wording here - I think it's appropriate to be shocked, but of course no one should be surprised, because the GOP has clearly decided this kind of sound-bite generation for FOX et al works for them. But I kind of fear us becoming so complacent about their fucked up behavior that we are not longer shocked at witnessing it.
Again, depends on how one interprets "shocked" and "surprised" but I think you probably get the point I'm making. I doubt Garland or any other sane person watching this shit show is surprised they act this way.
Political theater. Garland knows how it's done right. The lack of information is driving them crazy. They can't fight silence.They've been giving him the Hillary treatment - smears and lies unending.Hoping to goad him into telling them what he's doing.He makes them guess. Nothing is scarier than the unknown. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
There is an old joke that when Mrs. Webster stumbled upon Noah in flagrante delicto, she cried out "Mr. Webster! I am surprised!" To which he replied, "No, my dear, you are shocked. I am surprised."
the rhetorical equivalent of a zoo animal getting an erection and proceeding to play with it in front of a tour group?This perfectly describes pretty much everything Repooplicans say about anything they happen to be blathering about.
A grand performance. Worthy every penny from his paymasters.
So the GQP platform in 2022 will be pro-Covid, for stalking and threatening school board members, and setting up the 2024 coup?
Really. Garland was shocked at the behavior of the GOP senators? That clinches it for me. The guy is not gonna be helpful at saving the country.
Senator or petulant child? You make the call!

Why not both?
💕horn-tossin' mood and made his butt want to grind corn. 💞
One can only hope that this pisses off Garland enough to throw Bannon in the hoosegow.
He's of course being petty and basically taking Tom Cotton's side.
Yes, indeed, Cotton is a Senator. And I'll take this opportunity to remind everyone he is also a Harvard alum.
Well, as is Garland.

"I'm done!" ... if only.
