How are these idiot republicans getting away with disrupting the hearing on Barr?

1. The chairman is failing to do his job.

4. IMHO he wasn't making Gohmert a martyr.

If he'd been ejected that would have been the story. The people heard the witness and saw the 2nd biggest baby in Washington throw a tantrum. I think it a fine line I'd love to see him thrown out. But I don't want to give them a talking point.

6. It should have been made clear, the topic is deadly serious. 125,000 people are dead.

All Nadler would have needed to do is point out that fact. Also, if they weren’t wearing a mask they should not have been allowed entrance in the hearing room to begin with. The headline is the kindergarten class of republicans play games while thousands struggle to breathe in ICU’s all over America.

9. I agree the mask rule should be a deal breaker.

I would hope they enforce that strictly.

10. And the Republicans know he won't

2. Since there is no rule governing when a congressman can make "noise"......

Perhaps witnesses should use loud speakers, like those used in public protest speeches. Right into Gohmert's waxy little ear.

I don't think I've seen these "background noise" disruption tactics until just on these hearings. Have I been missing them?

3. Gohmert is acting like a child

Of course the so-called POTUS acts like a child as well. Time to vote in some adults!

5. The only good thing I can think of to say about Gohmert

is that he is all that keeps my "representative" in congress from being the WORST congressperson.

Since he's running for US senate, he won't be my congress-thing much longer, but whoever replaces him will be just as bad.

7. We're powerless. It's a sad state of affairs.

8. Remember Nikki banging that shoe? Louie and Nikki have a lot in common
