Oh, just a simple animation on a repetitive loop. NurseJackie Jun 2020 #106
"repetitive loop." melman Jun 2020 #109
Yet many find them captivating and entertaining, apparently. NurseJackie Jun 2020 #112
Seems doubtful melman Jun 2020 #115
I'm not sure if they're that entertaining. I'd say... they're illuminating. PTWB Jun 2020 #111
At least one person (whom I will not name out of respect for their privacy) actually enjoy them. NurseJackie Jun 2020 #114
Thank you for respecting their privacy. PTWB Jun 2020 #116
LOL NurseJackie Jun 2020 #117

Here's the quote: PTWB Jun 2020 #19
If you're on a "quest for knowledge", why not simply look up the information? lapucelle Jun 2020 #26
I tried to. PTWB Jun 2020 #29
LOL R B Garr Jun 2020 #31
Thanks for your contribution to the thread! PTWB Jun 2020 #34
Public Announcement: your opinions aren't factual statements. R B Garr Jun 2020 #45
My opinions are opinions. PTWB Jun 2020 #48
Since you want facts Dem4Life1102 Jun 2020 #51
Bazinga! melman Jun 2020 #54
Isn't that considered customerserviceguy Jun 2020 #5
Some is addressed here. I would hope any appointee comes with some degree of legal background,.. Budi Jun 2020 #6
That makes sense n/t Bev54 Jun 2020 #10
Traditionally most members of the judiciary committee have been attorneys. PTWB Jun 2020 #11
Post removed Post removed Jun 2020 #14
That's partially true. PTWB Jun 2020 #21
I doubt that is your concern, as we've seen what your concerns actually are. R B Garr Jun 2020 #22
You act like my concerns are some sort of conspiracy. PTWB Jun 2020 #27
You sound familiar. R B Garr Jun 2020 #30
What am I distorting? PTWB Jun 2020 #35
LOL... tonedevil Jun 2020 #86
So it isn't actually a quest for knowledge, as you originally claimed. lapucelle Jun 2020 #33
No, my reason was both accurate and honest. It would be fair to say it was also incomplete. PTWB Jun 2020 #38
Oh dear! You strongly suspect you were lied to?? So that's what this is about. I didn't realize. R B Garr Jun 2020 #40
Wait...what? Are you saying that your claim was the the partial truth lapucelle Jun 2020 #52
I'm not going to name and shame the person who originally made the claim... PTWB Jun 2020 #55
"I think it presents us with a wonderful opportunity to discuss how important it is to be honest lapucelle Jun 2020 #64
I'm not omitting anything. PTWB Jun 2020 #65
I highly doubt this person would be shamed. This is just more disruption. Demsrule86 Jun 2020 #72
I'm sorry the poster wouldn't back it up. I will conclude that AOC is eligible. Alex4Martinez Jun 2020 #8
I don't know, but I'm suspicious of the negative obsession some people seem to have with her. DTomlinson Jun 2020 #9
ah, now we're seeing the reason for this thread. R B Garr Jun 2020 #15
Bingo! Hassin Bin Sober Jun 2020 #44
My obsession is with representative government, Hortensis Jun 2020 #85
I'm confused. Who are you referring to here who supports subversion of fair and free elections? DTomlinson Jun 2020 #87
Welcome to DU, DT. Have we met before? nt Hortensis Jun 2020 #88
Thank you. No. Why? DTomlinson Jun 2020 #90
It took me two minutes to look this up on Wikipedia beastie boy Jun 2020 #12
Do you think accuracy and honesty is important when you're engaging with people on a forum? PTWB Jun 2020 #23
Starting a thread to bring attention to a single member who gave you the wrong answer beastie boy Jun 2020 #56
I'm sorry you feel that way. PTWB Jun 2020 #58
I am willing to give you the benefit of doubt beastie boy Jun 2020 #62
I chose not to link the post or name the poster PTWB Jun 2020 #66
You were personal enough. beastie boy Jun 2020 #69
I read that passage. PTWB Jun 2020 #71
Well, I imagine all our 235 elected reps technically meet Hortensis Jun 2020 #17
For comparison, here is Rep Engel's Bio: A law background & broad areas of experience are helpful Budi Jun 2020 #18
WOW! Look at all that experience! It starts in 1977 with Law School degrees before that. R B Garr Jun 2020 #20
It is a long & dedicated bio. Plus this list of committees & Dem progressive co-sponsorships as well Budi Jun 2020 #25
That is an impressive, and progressive, resume mcar Jun 2020 #126
Are you familiar with Karen Bass? PTWB Jun 2020 #24
And why she is being vetted as Joe Biden's VP Budi Jun 2020 #28
Yes we do! PTWB Jun 2020 #32
I have always admired Warren. Until she stood next to Bernie Sanders. Budi Jun 2020 #37
In what context did she "stand next to Bernie Sanders"? RhodeIslandOne Jun 2020 #131
I think most members of the committee have a background either in the law or law enforcement StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #39
Most do have that background but some (very effective members) do not PTWB Jun 2020 #42
Karen Bass isn't a lawyer or law enforcement officer, but she was Speaker of the California Assembly StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #50
Indeed. PTWB Jun 2020 #53
It is my opinion that you should have law experience to sit on Judiciary and AOC is a newbie as well Demsrule86 Jun 2020 #73
There is an argument to be made for members having that experience PTWB Jun 2020 #80
Has she ever expressed an interest in serving on the committee? StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #36
Not that I know of. PTWB Jun 2020 #41
You couldn't find the information on line that several people found in a few seconds? StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #43
But it is a Quest for Knowledge! betsuni Jun 2020 #59
Care to link some information from the internet that is definitive? PTWB Jun 2020 #61
Last year she told the New Yorker lapucelle Jun 2020 #57
There are no requirements... brooklynite Jun 2020 #46
I'd rather she focused on running for the Senate. jalan48 Jun 2020 #49
I don't think Schumer or Gillibrand Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #70
She might win NYC Mayor. Demsrule86 Jun 2020 #76
She won't win a statewide race in New York...I don't know where she goes from here...but folks Demsrule86 Jun 2020 #75
In this thread: Mariana Jun 2020 #84
Also, I don't care whether elected officials have long resumes. This is democracy, not LinkedIn. DTomlinson Jun 2020 #89
No she does not. DenverJared Jun 2020 #124
Thanks Jared. PTWB Jun 2020 #125
Your efforts are in vain DenverJared Jun 2020 #132
Oh, my efforts were highly successful. PTWB Jun 2020 #133
My opinion is that it is not healthy to ruminate over DenverJared Jun 2020 #134
We can debate and discuss the finer points of what makes an effective committee. PTWB Jun 2020 #135
Experience is a strict qualification and requirement. DenverJared Jun 2020 #136
As it stand, you're either cowering behind implication to call someone out... LanternWaste Jun 2020 #128
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. PTWB Jun 2020 #129
Thank you! Cha Jun 2020 #130
