Need to be removed,they are like 2 year olds.

And if the speaker won't stop the motherfucker banging shit,then obviously rules and decorum means nothing. What I would have liked to see is someone get the fuck up and take away the object that's being banged from the rethuglican two year old piece of shit. They need to be treated like children and if they don't like it force them out.

Or when some republican piece of shit talks all the Dems bang things and say they would not respect the rules why should we and tap over all the republicans until they follow the godamn rules.

Fuck the high road we are dealing with fucking 2 year old mentalities narcissistic wastes of skin.Treat them like the scum they are. Don't tolerate thier bullshit.

5. The witness

was giving testimony critical of AG Barr, referring to him as a liar and being dishonest.

And like all authoritarian conservatives, Gohmert doesn’t like being in the minority and not in control.

As is the case with most rightists, Gohmert is a petulant child when not getting his way.

...in one of Gohmert’s courtroom behaved in this way, he would have had that person thrown in jail immediately for contempt of court. (Hard to believe this goober was once a judge.)

He is soooooooo repulsive.

I am pretty amazed that certain people in that room were able to refrain from hauling off and slugging him, because I know that's what I felt like doing. Who TF does he think he is?

Just disgusting. But I suppose this is what we have come to expect from republicans. It doesn't mean we have to put up with it anymore.

I weep for the future of this nation. Where men like this can actually get elected to public office. Something is terribly wrong.

Jordan and Collins were their usual smarmy selves, as well. Respect is not in their repertoire.

Kruschev's hissy fit consisted of removing a shoe and repeatedly banging it on a table at the United Nations during a speech he didn't care for.

...to exceed their allotted time. Including how many Louie was just fine with.

Assuming the time actually was exceeded, and it wasn't just Goatmert claiming that to disrupt testimony.
