Senator Ben Ray Lujan (D) New Mexico
Sidenote: positive for TDS

Questioning Bobby Kennedy.

“If President Trump asked you to cut Medicaid, will you dot it?”

Bobby Kennedy, “It’s not up to me to cut medicaid, it would be up to Congress.”

Lujan smirks, then replies, “Mr. Kennedy, you don’t wanna reply, we’ll move on.”

?!?!?!?!? What the freak!

You need to read the entire transcript of questioning about Medicaid and Medicare. RFK Jr. doesn't have a clue.

I have to admit asking RFK Jr. 5 questions and then talking over him while he strained his voice to answer was an interesting strategy. You have to give them credit, those worms use every tool in their crooked toolbox.

All they wanted to do was yap their jaws.

Re: TDS Lunacy

Flip the parties and you have exactly the same if not an even more dramatic questioning... Jim Jordan is a prime example. Of course, when you add in several completely unqualified candidates the temperature rises.

The really loud mouths, interrupters,those that badger are typically attorneys.

You have to understand that this whole farce is a show. This time it's the job of the democrats to install fear and doubt, to discredit the candidate and most importantly above all, to work on your own re-election by acting tough for your base.

The Trump nominees have done a good job pushing back and taking away the stage. In fact, Bondi made a couple of them look absolutely weak.

Game, set and match, Trump and Cabinet.

Re: TDS Lunacy

You also have to understand that whatever side is in power, their "people" those that support the leader, are going to be way more likely to overlook obvious concerns with the nominees.

Correct Soccer. It's part of the D.C. script. They are the actors, and we are the audience.

I did not agree with some of Trump's picks, but always knew that they would all be put through.

For now it is the honeymoon stage for Trump. GOP will go along with anything he wants..

Re: TDS Lunacy

Golly gee, they are his appointees to carry out the policies of the Trump administration and follow the Constitution of the United States.

What is evident is that those interviewing on your side has more interest in protecting their own self interests than those of the Nation overall.

That is as clear as a melanoma protrusion on the side of someone’s nose.

Re: TDS Lunacy

All you have to do is go back and look at the numbers, even that assclown Mayorkas was easily confirmed and Republicans bent right over for him. I can't think of one single one of Biden's people that they ambushed.

Re: TDS Lunacy

Is Trump following the law and the Constitution? Not in every case. The lawsuits have already begun.

Musk is acting as though he has purchased the United States and is using the same playbook he used with his purchase Twitter.

You say: What is evident is that those interviewing on your side has more interest in protecting their own self interests than those of the Nation overall

Well, Blu your "side" does not represent the interests of the entire Nation. I expect the Dems to ask the important questions and to press until they get an honest answer. Does it include their self interests, sure in the sense that they are representing their constituents, who expect them to represent them and not just rubber stamp folks who are not qualified. You seem to forget that many nominees have met with very little or any resistance.

Re: TDS Lunacy

Ultimately a President surrounds himself with people he thinks he can trust. We would all do the same. You sure as hell wouldn't expect Trump to keep Mayorkas around. Each President has the right to do so and the only way it doesn't get done is if a different party controls the senate.

Bull, here we go. Listen to your great manipulator of truth, Elizabeth Warren.

In this case, he also wants people who will carry out his plans for retribution and revenge and those who will to try to rewrite the history of January 6.

Re: TDS Lunacy

So, you like the sneaky crap your Party has been doing? You want history only painted in your color of choice.

Finally, something I wholeheartedly agree with. Both sides can be very frustrating when grilling anyone during a committee hearing. I find it very frustrating no matter who is being questioned and who is doing the questioning. Ask a question AND LET THEM ANSWER IT without interrupting if it's not the answer you want to hear. Stop talking over them trying to shut them up. Also, stop insisting on a yes or no answer where giving one is literally impossible. BOTH SIDES, DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ARE GUILTY OF THIS!

Re: TDS Lunacy

I agree, Bondi is a BEAST!

Re: TDS Lunacy

Marshall,

Part of the reason (both sides) talk over a response is because they have very limited time.

The candidate will try to run that time out by talking around the question.

Re: TDS Lunacy

I understand the process but find it very frustrating when I actually want to hear an answer, and they won't shut up while the person is trying to give one. Again, this happens from both sides.

I also cannot hack watching someone like Liz Warren coming up out of her seat, veins throbbing in her neck and forehead demanding what she considers the truth, whether it is the truth or not. She reminds me of a rabid animal at times.

Re: TDS Lunacy

Marshall

Warren is not a favorite of mine either, but Jim Jordon is just as bad..

Don't knock it MD. She may stroke out and have to be carried out. Still lover her famous, "I'ma get me a beer" during her short-lived campaign.

As for the questions, they read from a script often prepared by their aides and speech writers. Half the time they don't even look up, they just continue reading.

Another reason is a lot of politicians are attorneys, they are trained to act that way.

Re: TDS Lunacy

Ya wanna be more specific than "the sneaky crap they did"?

You don't think it's sketchy to fire all the Jan 6 prosecutors? Should any prosecutor be fired for doing their job and prosecuting violence against law enforcement? against an insurrection, an attack on the US Capitol?

Why demand the names of FBI agents who worked the Jan 6 cases? What's the point of that? If it's to give them some special award for a job well done, I'm all for that. We both know it's a part of Retaliation and Retribution and an attempt to rewrite history.

Re: TDS Lunacy

Right you are. It’s a tactic that is meant to leave the witness look confused or lacking knowledge in the area of testimony. You can really tell which ones were prosecutors and which were defense counsel.
