This is sad and hilarious...mostly sad. "Marinated in that moment" sounds gross.


 
Go get 'em Anna Paulina

This is a new GOP congresswoman who replaced a long term Democrat. She ran on going after high tech collusion with the government and is following through. Good

I would call that grandstanding. What is the point of asking questions, refusing to allow an answer, and then making a speech? She should let them try to answer and then use their answer, or lack thereof, to prove her point.

I call it getting at the truth. These liberal witnesses don't want to answer a simple question pointing to their own work. It was a yes or no answer but the witness was trying to stall. Representatives only have a certain amount of time to ask these questions and obtain answers. So the left tactic is to stall.

Our government has been in bed with big tech companies for years now and suppressing the speech of conservatives. I have been in "facebook jail" over the simplest matter as have most of my friends. All of it over Fauci.

I did not have a twitter account but I am sure if I did I would have been banned too for questioning Fauci and his show boat medicine practices.

Funny the left says it is grandstanding when someone asks a liberal a question but for the past years the Dims side of the aisle has promoted lies and false narratives over and over. Isn't it time the truth be told and lies exposed.
 
Was off work yesterday and today so I've been watching a good chunk of these hearings. Good stuff. Will anything come of them though? Probably not.
Maybe some truth can finally be exposed so that in itself is good. But nobody is held accountable. The only way one can be accountable is to have a fair justice system and hearings are exposing just how corrupt the Federal Justice System is.

Half of them would have to be executed if our justice system followed the U.S. Constitution. Starting at the very top of the FBI and CIA. But they are in the pocket of Democrats and don't even deny it anymore.

She allowed him to answer but, he chose to deflect so, she made it clear.

In most hearings the Dem/libs don't even ask a question of the witness (especially if they are conservative and/or Repub). They use all their time to speechify, grandstand, and accuse.

It will thrill the base, but it was too aggressive for those not predisposed. When crossing a witness, you want everyone in the room to believe the witness is evading or playing coy before you got after them. You want the people watching to want you to put an end to their behavior. If you move too quickly, you run the risk of looking as if you are not being fair. I know they are on the clock, but, IMO, she should have given him a chance to give his response. As it is now, it looks like he wanted to answer, but she would not let him. I think it is a youthful mistake. You don’t want to appear afraid of the answer.

To some extent, yes. But, then almost all of these hearings are grandstanding by that standard. It seemed to me that she asked a pretty straight forward question and asked for a "yes" or "no" answer. Roth hemmed and hawed, and wouldn't 'classify that as...', etc. all in an attempt to avoid answering the question. When it became apparent that he was not ever going to answer the question, she answered it for him while providing evidence that her answer was, in fact, the truth.

Since I'm guessing you lean Left, you disagree with her tactics (which both sides have used in similar hearings for decades) while more conservative posters are applauding her calling BS on Roth and not letting him get away without answering what should have been a pretty simple question: did you contact US government agencies via a private server?
 
Killing a known Terrorist, preventing more death and carnage, vs. Cutting off a major source of power to the people of a large portion of Europe. I can see how those might be equal.

It's not about being equal. It's about acts of war or not.

Killing heads of terrorist organizations, who do not lead independent nations, are not acts of war. Overthrowing Saddam Huessein and killing him was. But I think congress declared that war, didn’t they?

Blowing up a pipeline that supplies a large portion of the energy of an independent nation to force them to buy US oil is definitely an act of war against Russia. Eye of the beholder for Germany.
 
Regardless, the decision to commit an act of eco terrorism and cut off a major source of energy for another country should not be left up to the whims of a single demented old man. That rises to the level it needs congressional checks and balances.
 
Shouldn’t have supported the bill moron.
He is grandstanding for his folks in West Virginia. He supports the bill or would not have voted for it. So shutup Manchin and get off TV claiming you are worried about debt.

West Virginia can you do better than this?
