Rude, Combative, Disrespectful, Ignorant of Facts, Childish Taunts, Defiance Temper Tantrums

[Chasstev365]

A requirement for every Trump administration official when they testify before Congress. The purpose is to throw red meat to the base.

It's disgusting.

[Ocelot II]

1. The real purpose is to perform for Trump.

They don't dare answer a question honestly or without blustering and arguing.

3. +1

[PATRICK]

26. But be careful

not to upstage him in any way. Never be original, never be popular, never reasonable, never do the actual job. Sometime it seems that is what makes them dance like flaming puppets onstage. Dictatorship hysteria.

[Aristus]

2. I always said about Trump's first term is that the school bullies took over the school.

This time, he brought the detention rats, the D-students, and the Mean Girls.

[Grim Chieftain]

13. Excellent analysis

Critical thinking and ethics are not valued in this Trump cabal. They are the antithesis of everything the founding fathers envisioned.

[dalton99a]

4. And Republicans are okay with it

[Irish_Dem]

6. The GOP/MAGAs love it. What does it say about American character?

[The Roux Comes First]

9. But of Course! As We Have Come to Learn These Are Now Their Role Models

[Irish_Dem]

5. No one is a decent adult.

[Swede]

7. I had thought Rubio would be a normal conservative.

Boy was I wrong. He’s caught the MAGA virus.

[Irish_Dem]

8. Even people who were normal have gone to the dark side.

Money and power appear to rot people's souls.

[BigmanPigman]

10. That is what baffles me.

I don't think the way they think. I never cared or aspired to be anything more than "comfortable". Sort of like the Swedish concept of "logum". I don't understand how someone could sell their principles for money. I just don't get it.

"In Swedish, lagom means "not too much, not too little, but just the right amount" or "in moderation". It's a concept encompassing balance and appropriateness in everyday life, from work-life balance and consumption to socializing and even the ideal temperature of coffee. While an exact English translation is difficult, it conveys a sense of finding harmony, satisfaction, and sustainability in all things.

It's about finding the perfect midpoint, avoiding extremes of excess or scarcity.
Appropriateness: The "right amount" is often context-dependent, applied to individuals and groups alike.
Moderation: Lagom encourages a mindful approach to life, promoting contentment with "enough" rather than always seeking more.
Swedish Cultural Value: It reflects a deeply ingrained cultural ethos in Sweden, influencing everything."

I learned about this while watching No Reservations/Tony Bourdain's "Sweden" episode.

11. People do not want to lose their comfort zones.

Some of these people are not greedy per se.

But they like their salary, pension plan, healthcare benefits.
They have kids to put through college, bills, mortgage etc.

Trump threatens all of that.

They figure they can live without democracy and freedom.
But not their income.

[popsdenver]

14. All these Republicans

are clawing, biting, chewing, scratching all the time to make sure they get into the top 1% when the bottom falls out of this conflagration they are creating.....The will stop at NOTHING, which they have made more than evident, esp these past 8+ years.

The difference between a Republican Politician and a street walking Crack Whore, is that there are things that the Crack Whore DEFINITELY will not do for ANY amount of money.....

[Irish_Dem]

21. Yep.

The GOP will do whatever it takes to get what they want.

They are even willing to kill as many American children as it takes.
Gun violence is the leading cause of death for US children.
And now the GOP will prevent children from getting routine and life saving vaccines.

[popsdenver]

23. You can bet

The Uber Rich and Republican Politicians are getting vaccinations for them and their kids, even if they have to take their kids and go overseas to get them !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same with the Uber Rich and Politcians girls going overseas if they need to get an abortion..... Back in the 60's before birth control pills and when abortions were illegal, several wealthy girls in our high school would SUDDENLY decide to do a Semester Abroad at some school in a Scandinavian country.....

[Irish_Dem]

24. Of course they get top of the line everything, including healthcare.

They and their children are all vaxxed.
And wives, girlfriends, daughters all get abortions on demand.

Back in the day the well to do girls could afford to fly to New York where abortions
were legal.

Also the rich had docs who would look the other the other way.
One of the nurses peed in a cup for a negative pregnancy test.
Then the doc did a d and c on the pregnant patient.
Cash under the table.

[Ohioboy]

12. I think the clock should stop as soon as someone starts to get combative

Don't let their little snarky filibusters work toward running out the clock.

[hannah]

20. She has an ugly heart

She only showed how weak she is. She was unable to answer any questions. She has no integrity.
No one is impressed!

[mountain grammy]

15. It's so obvious

You’d think, but don’t think, it’s too much… I’m drinking

[Diraven]

16. Get ready for more "investigations"

Every Democrat who pissed her off today is going to get a visit from the FBI.

[yellow dahlia]

25. Of course...

[Uncle Joe]

17. and/or to change the subject when confronted with a question that they have no legitimate answer to.

Thanks for the thread Chasstev

[flamingdem]

18. They love to degrade themselves

and think we don't see them as they are. Degenerates!

[kentuck]

19. Very defensive...

...is how I read it. Because if she had answered the questions, it would have been an admission of guilt.

There's a jail cell waiting in her future.

[LilElf70]

22. Trump wanted

people that can back his ass up no matter what he says, and throw shit right back. Dats what he got. And now we pay the price. The magat FAFO's are still blind to these facts.
