Am I the only that has no interest in these hearings?

[Dawgs]

[Bluzmann57]

1. It kinda looks that way

[Maedhros]

2. No, I'm with you.

It's all kabuki theater.

[Lifelong Protester]

3. I am not interested

but I'm sure it will be non-stop on cable news!

[onenote]

4. Better question: Is anyone surprised that you're not?

[Rebkeh]

5. No n/t

[abelenkpe]

6. Nope

[djean111]

8. Nope.

My only interest is in just how much the GOP hates her, which IMO means they would only work with her on stuff that they want to accomplish. And would spend most of their time trying to impeach her.
Other than that, I am damned tired of hearing about Benghazi.

The Benghazi committee has spent almost $5 million dollars, so far, which pales against campaign spending. And the only people who believe Hillary had anything to do with Benghazi are Republicans who would not have voted for her anyway.

29. Again, a post that is perfect

Yeah, she's going to work great with a republican congress!

But she has some of the same ideas about things as them.

Good bye world, climate change won't be stopped by a h presidency.


Too bad, this has been a lovely place to live.

[jeff47]

9. Yeah, I could've written a summary of them yesterday

Republicans behave like assholes.
Clinton doesn't.

Tons of posts on DU about how Republicans are assholes.
Tons of praise on DU about Clinton "fighting" them, as if curl-into-a-ball-and-start-sobbing was a possibility.

Many posts congratulating Clinton on "destroying" the Republicans and how she's surely the next POTUS because of her "masterful" performance.
A couple weeks later, lots of incredulous posts that the committee is still investigating, demonstrating the lack of destruction of Republicans.

Media continues to pretend this isn't a farce in order to avoid actually covering issues in the campaign.

[haikugal]

15. Yep, pretty much.

[old guy]

19. Yup.

[arcane1]

10. Right there with ya n/t

[restorefreedom]

11. no interest here

msm will basically summarize as follows

republicans are assholes.
Clinton is the nominee even though a single vote has yet to be cast.
trump is still leading

[trumad]

13. Ahh the Bernie gang...

too much!

[Dawgs]

14. What does that mean?

I have no interest because I don't think it will mean anything in the long run. It won't hurt or help the Republicans and it won't hurt or help Hillary. Most people don't care and there are hundreds of other things that are more important that will happen before the election. The only people that are paying attention are political junkies that aren't going to be swayed by any of this.

Jeez!

[upaloopa]

17. It will help Hillary and my guess is it will help

all of us. It will show the country and the world what a sham the Republican Party is. They can't govern and can only play ideological games.
We will all benefit from Hillary's appearance today.

[Dawgs]

18. Hate to break it to you but no one that could be swayed gives a shit. n/t

[upaloopa]

24. She is not trying to sway anyone. She is setting the congressional record straight.

This is important

[onenote]

27. I think most DUers are to some extent "political junkies"

who are capable of paying attention to more than one thing at a time. Paying attention to it has nothing to do with being swayed one way or another. I'm a Bernie supporter, I'm following it, and it's not "swaying" me, but I'm glad that Clinton is doing a good job.

[Dawgs]

28. Not sure what you mean by the first sentence. I agree with it and didn't imply otherwise.

And, I don't care if other's are interested or not. I didn't say they shouldn't be.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

20. Really, trumad?? I don't appreciate you lumping people into a group and then making

insults about them. Not all of us "Bernie gang" hate Hillary. Indeed, I myself have commented in the Bernie supporters for Hillary thread my support for Hillary as she suffers this sham of a hearing. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=7276924

So how about you just cool it, or else direct your remarks directly to those whose language regarding Hillary offends your sensibilities?

[trumad]

21. Nope.

I commend a bunch of Bernie supporters who are on her side today.

But don't think for a minute that some here can't stand the praise.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

22. Then direct your remarks and insults toward them instead of doin so in an all-inclusive way. Hillary

has my 100% support and, if she is our nominee, I will voter for her. So it's not fair that you would include me and others who don't hate Hillary that you include us in your snark.

[haikugal]

16. Nah, there are a lot of us out here....you're not alone.

[GreatGazoo]

23. me too, unless Galloway shows up...

[artislife]

30. That was classic!

Sadly, the basics of that speech can be repeated until this day.

[Atman]

25. It's fascinating. I'm a Watergate kid.

I've seen this shit before. But now it's even more intriguing. If you are so disinterested, go watch the Kardashians and let us know when there is something important that interests you.

[Dawgs]

32. What's with the snark? I'm not saying others can't be interested.

Wow!

[TwilightGardener]

26. I would be interested, if anybody revealed anything new that explained what Stevens was

doing with the CIA around the time he was killed. But that's not going to happen.

[Kaleva]

31. What hearings?

[dorkzilla]

33. I only watched the last hour but it was FUN watching the GOP...

make such complete ASSHOLES out of themselves.

And credit where due, she really did a great job. Not voting for her, but she not only made them look even more foolish.
