Won't move the needle, except to confirm our side's passion to go to war with these vile people.

BINGO!!!!

[Darnright]

Aaaaannnnd, another Democrat.

[pghoilman]

I prefer to call it “extended mute time”.

[haffast]

Lawlessness, or Law and Order?

[EnquiringMind]

How many more??? Getting so hard to watch now......but our brave AG is still keeping his cool with the Bastid Losers.

[ObozoMustGo2012]

If Jim Jordan is not on the 2024 ballot as either POTUS or VP, this country is finished.

[maggief]

After Stanton, three more D’s.

[EnquiringMind]

Thank you!! But geez, that seems like an unfair percentage compared to the percentage of D to R in congress....

[KittyKares]

We will all be drinking later.

Yes! The way they are firing accusations and keeping him from responding is unbelievable.

[Fishtalk]

Thanks so much for that.

[Irish Eyes]

So embarrassed that this guy is from AZ

[Fishtalk]

I would be banging my fist on the table, messing up everything.

They don’t want answers for their questions.

They want to say things, put lies and stuff in the record so they can keep on saying more lies about what the AG said.

[FES0844]

What could be clearer than, “I will follow the law?”

[Scott Kraut]

Under House rules the majority party will always outnumber the minority party by anywhere from three to five members. This is to ensure party victory in committee decisions. In these hearings the dims usually wait to the closing portions of the hearing to gang up on the witnesses or to sing their praises. Could also be true that cowardly republicans are hiding from participation and making things even more unfair

Government guy.

[maggief]

Nadler objecting for a five minute break requested by Barr.

What an asshole.

[Fishtalk]

I love the way Barr said he waited an hour for Nadler this morning AND THE MAN HAS TO PEE!!!

[Major Matt Mason]

Rhetorical question: are there any decent Democrats left in this government?

I'm sure you know the answer. There are no moderate Democrats left in the party, and don't let any RINO tell you otherwise.
