1. That was truly a thing of beauty.

I believe it can be described as a tongue lashing.

[dewsgirl]

2. It really was.❤

[brush]

30. He did a great job. I love the part about the 3rd time to get candor.

[leftieNanner]

3. WHOA!

No Nonsense Maloney! He put the sleaze bag in his place. When Sondland pushed back (you're being mean to me), Maloney nailed him.

Thanks so much for posting this!

[dewsgirl]

4. Your welcome.😊

[ChiTownDenny]

68. "This is your third try to do so, sir." BAM!

I ain't playin', mofo.

[DENVERPOPS]

85. some of these

Some of these moments are supremely uplifting to us who care about this government and this nation.

And then a Republican representative comes forwards with every despicable moment of their time totally degrading the best of people, defending and praising the sub-human despicable organism who's lard ass occupies the oval office...........

The piece of scum who tried to humiliate the Lt. Colonel yesterday reminded me of the swift boating pig shit crowd in the 2004 election.

The english language has no perfect words to call out about these low life assholes.

I truly hope there comes a time when the Republicans ALL get theirs X 1000............

[UpInArms]

91. You mean this crap

[dewsgirl]

97. WTH

[PufPuf23]

5. Harsh but deserved treatment of

smiley McDickface.

[kag]

96. I love that.

Smiley McDickface. That's what he sounds like to me.

I truly don't understand why he doesn't just come out and say that Trump is even more of a doofus than he, himself is. It could only help him.

[dewsgirl]

9. Your welcome.😊

[Polly Hennessey]

8. Oh, Mr. Maloney, wish I could call you

Mr. President.

[dewsgirl]

12. He's a badass!

[robertpaulsen]

50. I'll say it first: I'd love to see our nominee select him for VP in 2020!

Can you imagine this proud gay man tearing Pence a new one in the debate? Well, assuming Pence still has his job!

[pangaia]

67. He was born in Quebec-- bummer.....well, for us

[grantcart]

108. Being born in Quebec wouldn't automatically disqualify him

George Romney was born in Mexico
John McCain was born @ the Panama Canal
Ted Cruz was born in Canada

[TruckFump]

10. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eleny]

11. Maloney pierced Sondland's day-long altar boy act

[dchill]

13. Thanks! I saw it live, but, you know, bookmarking.

[dewsgirl]

18. Your welcome.😊 I actually was listening on Tunein and

assumed he was a Republican, until about 15 seconds in.

[UTUSN]

14. My latest hero! Dems are on fire!1

[PatSeg]

15. Brilliant moment!

[BuffaloJackalope]

16. Didn't hurt a bit. Until Trump fires him for telling the truth.

[dewsgirl]

22. Right, I give it till the end of the day.

[Scurrilous]

17. K&R

[Cirque du So-What]

19. Ho Lee Shit!

And that's how it's done.

[Drum]

20. BOOOOOOOM

[2naSalit]

21. Thank you!

That was pure beauty.

[dewsgirl]

23. Your welcome.😊 I know right.

[Tanuki]

24. "Let's be really clear, on what it took to get it outta ya!"

Thanks for this!

[dewsgirl]

39. Your welcome.😊

[gratuitous]

25. "Let's be real clear on what it took to get it out of ya"

So take your resentment and stick it in your hip pocket, Mr. Ambassador.

[crickets]

34. That was the best part, just a furious thing of beauty. Whoo! nt

[FailureToCommunicate]

72. Mic drop moment!

[awesomerwb1]

26. Holy flying bernie sanders polka dotted unicorn

That was awesome. Wow.

Thank you for posting it.

[dewsgirl]

28. Your welcome.😊 I'd like to see that unicorn.😜

[Alithea]

27. Holy crap! That blew my hair back! n/t

[dewsgirl]

29. I know right.😎This guy is awesome.

[Heron5]

35. I've often thought

his husband is a lucky guy. 😉

[CTyankee]

47. I'm an elderly woman but he rang my bells!

[Alithea]

54. Oh noooo..., he's taken??

Say it isn't so! His whole "caped-avenger of righteousness who suffers no fools" vibe made me think I could see a future. Alas! Lol

[Heron5]

57. So sad...

He and hubby have been together since early 1990s. Have 3 kids.

[lunatica]

31. LOL!

Great image!

Welcome to DU.

[CatWoman]

32. LOL!!!!

[3catwoman3]

92. I have no idea what this is from, but it is clear that if...

...any of the actors forgot their lines, just utter few F=bombs and no one will know the difference.

[CatWoman]

102. you must one one of a handful of people who have not seen "Goodfellas"

that's a classic line from that film

[FarPoint]

33. That was F**king Fanstastic!

I want what he's having!

[nini]

36. THIS is how you deal with those fuckers

[Floyd R. Turbo]

37. 😂

[The_Counsel]

38. "Mr. Maloney, I've Been Very Forthright..."

"...and I resent the fact--"

"Well, this is your third try at this, sir! Didn't work so well the first time, did it?"

And that's Mr. Sondland's problem in a nutshell.

[CatWoman]

40. HE'S ON WITH NICOLE NOW!!!

[dewsgirl]

41. I'm listening..😊

[llmart]

42. Oh, man. That was beautiful!

His cockiness got him nowhere.

[matt819]

43. Can Dems think on their feet, or what?

These folks are sharp!

[Sucha NastyWoman]

44. His energy reminds me of Gym Jordan

Except that he also has brains, class and morals.

[dewsgirl]

46. IKR! I was listening on Tunein for about 15 seconds, I was

certain they screwed up the rotation.

[budkin]

45. Now THAT is what you call BTFO

Wow.

[patphil]

48. Ah, that's my guy...18th district of New York.

That's where I live.
Great Job Sean!

[dewsgirl]

49. Aren't you the lucky one. I am sitting here in Matt Gaetz's district.🙄

[patphil]

51. You have my deepest sympathy.

I guess you're not voting for him.

[dewsgirl]

52. LOL😆 thank you. Not if he was the last Congressman on the

planet.

[diva77]

93. my condolences!

[barbtries]

53. that was my favorite moment of the day.

i already saw it but i just watched it over because it was so sweet. these fucking weasels deserve all the contempt coming their way and then some.

think i'll run it one more time...

[dewsgirl]

56. I've watched it a couple times myself.

[soldierant]

55. Thpugh nt from New York myself, I supported his bid for NYAG.

Now, I'm very, very glad he was exactly where he was yesterday.

[CottonBear]

58. Ouch! That was a brutal verbal spanking.

I love Rep. Maloney! ❤️

[LittleGirl]

59. Historic! nt

[Foolacious]

60. I'd like to make a T-shirt out of this. Think it will fit?

Following efforts by Rep. Maloney to get Ambassador Sonderland to acknowledge clearly that the President would be the one to benefit from an investigation into the Bidens:

SONDERLAND: Mr. Maloney?

MALONEY: Hold on, Sir --

SONDERLAND: Excuse me, I've been very forthright and I really resent what you're trying to do --

MALONEY: Fair enough! You've been very forthright? This is your third try to do so, Sir. Didn't work so well the first time, did it? We had a little declaration come in after, remember that? And now we're here a third time, and we got a doozy of a statement from you this morning -- there's a whole bunch of stuff you don't recall. So all due respect, Sir, we appreciate your candor, but let's be really clear on what it took to get it outta ya!

[dewsgirl]

62. 😆Nice.

[central scrutinizer]

61. Good cop/bad cop?

Two for the price of one! Awesome!

[Bob Loblaw]

63. That's gonna leave a mark

[mountain grammy]

64. I love him... love him!

There we have it.. didn't hurt a bit did it? 3rd try to be forthright!

[calimary]

81. I SOOOOO loved that!

What an astonishing moment! Outstanding!!!

[mountain grammy]

83. Got some applause..

I'd give anything to be sitting in those hearings!

[pangaia]

65. WOWZER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man alive, and and the DIFFERENCE in their false outrage and OUR justifiable outrage is just stunning !!!





DAYUM !!! I'm gonna watch that again.

[oasis]

66. Maloney don't go for trick baloney.

[MFGsunny]

69. You're my hero for the day for posting this. Had missed it due to other matters. Million thanks.

Powerful.
Timely.
Working right into summation time.

And the audience thought so too.

[dewsgirl]

74. Aww your welcome.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

70. Immediately thought VP but he was born in Canada

[Tanuki]

95. But his parents were U.S. citizens. If Ted Cruz can run, so could Sean!

[pangaia]

71. And third-- I knew nothing about him so read WIKI--

very interesting political history---if you are interested-

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Patrick_Maloney

[calimary]

73. OOOOOOOOOOOOH yeah!

A great moment! Finally got Sondland to cough up the truth on that.

And Devin Nunes and pals continue to dance around in their own delusional little Bubble World...

[volstork]

75. Oh, SNAP!

Well played, Sir.

[riversedge]

76. oh, that was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO grand!

[COLGATE4]

77. Now THAT's how it's fucking done!!!!!!!

[NCLefty]

78. Awesome! @ our guy / What a douche! @ Sondland

[SunSeeker]

79. Ooooooh. That was gooooood.

Love me some Sean Patrick Maloney!

[Baltimike]

80. knr

[Joinfortmill]

82. A blunt speaking American hero.

[ClusterFreak]

84. Smoked his ass. A thing of beauty. n/t

[smirkymonkey]

86. That was a thing of beauty!

What I wouldn't give to see him rip Trump a new one. He'd chew him up and spit him out, make him cry and wet himself.

In fact, I would love to see him have a go at every single one of those lying motherfuckers and expose them for the cowardly, brain-damaged, bullies that they are.

Touche, Rep. Maloney.

[Delphinus]

87. Whoa!

I had no idea! That was eye-opening!

[dewsgirl]

88. It was awesome.

[Mme. Defarge]

89. Holy merde!

No more Mr. Nice Guy.

[Skittles]

90. THIS is how you handle REPUKES

*LIKE THIS* !!!!!!!!!!

[diva77]

94. +1

Absolutely!

[Moe Joe MoFo]

98. New tweet just now from Trump:

"Sean Patrick Maloney? Sounds like a Nazi German name to me!"

[dewsgirl]

99. For real?

[Moe Joe MoFo]

103. No, I was Joking

But can't you just see him saying something that dumb? I sure can!

[dewsgirl]

104. LOL😆, yes I can definitely see it.

[onetexan]

100. 3 times' a charm!!

Oooweee that was a thing of beauty!

[Akacia]

101. that was a thing of beauty!

Wow! that was so awesome!

[ecstatic]

105. Can't take anymore of Sondland's smug, smirking face. Nt

[onetexan]

106. Here's Esquire's take of the shakedown

https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a29862508/gordon-sondland-testimony-sean-patrick-maloney/

[dewsgirl]

107. Nice thank you.
