The first round of confirmation hearings for Donald Trump cabinet appointees shows that Democrats aren’t interested in governing — only grandstanding.
Look at the circus of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth’s Tuesday hearing.
Hawaii’s Sen. Mazie Hirono, a lefty stalwart, debuted an utterly bizarre line about Hegseth greenlighting military invasions of Greenland or takeovers of the Panama Canal; she also asked if Hegseth would follow a hypothetical order from Trump to shoot protesters.
Virginia’s Tim Kaine sternly wagged his finger at Hegseth over allegations of bad behavior toward women — pretty rich coming from a man who went puppy-eyes gaga in public for … Bill Clinton.
Liz Warren, who lied about having Native American heritage to prosper in academia, went after Hegseth for his honesty.
Pathetic. Zero substance, 100% partisan theater.
And that same cheap, circus-barker mentality was on display during the Judiciary Committee’s hearing for Attorney General-designate Pam Bondi.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) opened by asking if Bondi had an enemies list and demanding to know “under what circumstances will you prosecute journalists.”
Connecticut’s Richard Blumenthal similarly asked if Bondi could say no to the president “when he asks you to do something unethical or illegal.”
Corrupt Russiagate liar California Sen. Adam Schiff followed this absurd line of questioning even deeper down the rabbit hole, with Bondi landing body blows in response.

The democRATs are putting their insanity on full display.
I see the same azhos who put on the clown show yesterday are also trying to bring down Laken Riley. What were Americans thinking when elected that crotch rot?
And this coverage proves once again that the nation would be far better served if the RINO GROPElite read only the Washington Times and the New York Post.
To hope national press corpse would do the same is pure fantasy.
Can we please outlaw TV cameras in the Capitol Bldg ? That would solve a myriad of problems.
We want cameras to record these insane nitwits.
Without Cameras, you wouldn’t see all this drama. It would be worth it in my opinion.
“We want cameras to record these insane nitwits.”
***********
Dem buffoonery was on full display yesterday. It was good for the country to see these lighter than air nitwits.
The Democrats buried themselves in identity politics. Voters have caught on and it does not register any more, Dem politicians cannot find themselves out of the morass and they keep coming back to it
But I supposed it keeps their base energized.
They have a first and 5th amendment right to continue on with making themselves out as immature idiots full of self incriminating emotional tantrums. Pretty funny really.
.....Liz Warren, who lied about having Native American heritage to prosper in academia, went after Hegseth for his honesty......
I imagine that Elizabeth Warren will continue to burden us with her overdone commentary over the course of these hearings!
Its pretty cringe worthy. I’m embarrassed for them. 😣
“I imagine that Elizabeth Warren will continue to burden us with her overdone commentary over the course of these hearings!”
Every nominee should mention the Senators ethics and lying issues and why is it good enough for them? Would love to see one of them scream, “I’m asking the questions” so the response can be, “then ask one.”
As usual.
💯.
Which helps them and dooms our side in the long run.
“Without Cameras, you wouldn’t see all this drama. It would be worth it in my opinion.”
That’s right, they’re playing to the cameras. Back in the ‘80s the Dems were going to bring Samuel Pierce in for the same kind of circus hearings, Pierce refused cameras and the hearings were cancelled.
