[backtoblue]

4. +1

Ken Buck (R-CO) yelling Antifa

[RANDYWILDMAN]

7. Buck is going full Bogeyman

do his voters really believe all this crap he spews ?????

[NewJeffCT]

26. You'd be surprised at what 30 years of Limbaugh and 25 years of Fox

can do to a mind.

6. Recess

Is that a heckler?

[crickets]

8. Aw, there's some whining about Barr's answers being cut off,

hilariously followed (almost interrupted) by a request for a break.

[backtoblue]

11. LOL

"They aren't letting me answer!

Ok, go ahead, sir

"I need a break!




(Not verbatim)

[backtoblue]

10. Barr says no RICO cases as of now

[backtoblue]

13. Back from break. Ted Deutch (D) up

[uponit7771]

14. GET HIM !! Who's this Deutch guy !! HE's a meat eater ... Barr's leg is missing ... He's putting hot

... sauce on it!!!

[crickets]

15. Barr is losing his cool re reducing Stone's sentence.

Stone threatened the life of the witness - because he's a friend of the president he still got off.

All Barr can say is, "The judge agreed with me!" - He's practically yelling.

[blogslut]

16. Ooh, Ted Deutch is pinning Barr on Roger Stone too!

Wonder why this is the topic that makes Barr get visibly angry?

[uponit7771]

17. Barr did ... NOT ... like that last interaction with Deutch, dems have some pretty good people

[backtoblue]

18. Deutch calmly asking pointed questions RE Stone case

Barr getting pissy

[Karma13612]

19. Ohh, while Rep Roby

Is speaking, Barr’s body language shows he was really angry about the previous questions by the previous Rep.

Ah! And now he uses Roby’s time to rebutt!

And of course she allows it!

[backtoblue]

23. He's puffed up and holding onto the table

[Karma13612]

46. Exactly! He was ready to burst with

Frustration!

[elleng]

20. MISERABLE hearing, HIGHLY contentious, think I'll return to my music.

*Housekeeping* question, time-clock on posts looks off, unless it's 4:30 p.m. MY computer, or DU?
EDIT: Got it, 'returned' to correct time zone.

[blogslut]

21. Barr wants to go back and respond to Deutch about Roger Stone

Barr is claiming Stone wasn't mafia, and that's why he changed the recommended sentence? Wow.

[nolabear]

22. Now Barr gets to use Roby's time to do whatever he wants.

She asked him some child trafficking question? He’s just holding forth.

I’ll give it to them. They work together like the evil empire they are.

[crickets]

27. He still looks and sounds awful. This is not a good appearance for him. Boo hoo. nt

[nolabear]

24. Bass should be interesting. She's high in the VP public eye.

I hope she uses it well.

[blogslut]

25. Is Martha Roby (R) dogwhistling to QAnon?

Bringing up the scary internet and child predators

[backtoblue]

30. No mention of Epstein or Maxwell

Curious, eh?

[backtoblue]

28. Roby restating her original child trafficking question

[blogslut]

29. Barr claims he isn't familiar with the death of Elijah Mcclain

He's lying and can go to hell

[nolabear]

32. TRUTH.

[crickets]

35. +1000000

[nolabear]

31. That asshole claims not to know about ketamine? Jesus Christ.

He should be fired for that right there.

I know ketamine. It’s dangerous unless used very judiciously and should NOT be used in trying to subdue someone.

[Karma13612]

33. I heart Rep Bass!

Wow, she just tells it like it is.

And Barr is actually abiding!

If Biden wants her for VP, I have no problem with that!

[crickets]

34. Bass pointing out the differences in cases where a Black man is subjected

to chokeholds and ketamine which killed him vs another armed white man who was calmly arrested with no chokeholds and even got Burger King brought to him for dinner.

She points out that while the laws are supposed to be equal the laws are not applied equally - the percentage of Black incarcerations vs population percentage is greater than it should be.

[mnmoderatedem]

36. oh goody, Gaetz is up now

what the hell is he talking about?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

37. Here we go with the ANTIFA strawmen again

[Karma13612]

38. Antifa

Barr is describing the “group”.

He is NOT stating what Antifa stands for.

It is AntiFacists!

My gawd! They are against Facism!

I’m so sick of this crap.

[backtoblue]

39. He can't even explain what Antifa is

But they're organized and tempermental....

[Karma13612]

49. He just doesn't want to

Describe what Antifa actually means.

If he did, it would blow the DOJ‘S excuse for going after those people who are simply fighting Facists in this country.

[blogslut]

40. Cedrick Richmond just told Barr to keep John Lewis' name out of his mouth

[mcar]

41. Cedric Richmond is doing great

Told Barr to keep John Lewis' name out of his mouth - pointed out that Barr and his 2 R predecessors have not one black person on their senior staff as an example of systemic racism.

[blogslut]

42. I wish someone would ask Barr "how" massive voter fraud happens by mail-in voting?

[Maraya1969]

54. +11111111111111111111111100000000000000000

[crickets]

43. Cedric Richmond starts by explaining systemic racism to Barr.

Asking about Russian interference- Barr agrees it exists.

Barr claiming not to know whether the election date can be moved, Richmond reads the pertinent Constitutional rule- Barr still says he's never been asked so he doesn't know. Sad he couldn't give a straight answer on this.

Asking about mail in voting and whether Barr thinks mail-in voting can be rigged, Barr claims 'wholesale' mail in voting can lead to fraud.

[crickets]

44. Nadler giving a scolding about members not wearing masks. (Repub, naturally.)

Love how when the usual whining started, he banged the gavel hard.

[blogslut]

45. Nadler calling out the crap repubs for not wearing masks

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

47. Gym Jordan slobbering all over the place

[blogslut]

48. Hakeem Jeffries

Q: What will you do if Trump loses

Barr: If, IF he really loses...

THis fucking guy

[blogslut]

50. Hakeem Jeffries just called Barr a liar

Barr tried to blame the lack of COVID testing on Obama. Jeffries called that a lie.

Added Note: Being called a liar doesn't bother him but questions about Roger Stone pisses him off. I find that interesting.

[backtoblue]

51. I gotta step away for a bit. Anyone want to start Thread 3?

Laundry is callin

[blogslut]

52. okay, fine

I will start number 3

[Mersky]

53. "Do you think it is ever appropriate on peaceful protestors?" Rep Cicciline

Oops, wrong thread ... will move.
