“I am thinking he just wanted it all on record. Seams like the republicans have a plan....naw say it ant so...”
That would be nice for them to have a plan (other than snatching defeat from the jaws of victory). Right now sentiments are high and favoring the GOP. But I have seen them toss and trash that political capital many times in the past. We’ll see...
“LOL well that’s bull shit.”

Representative Nancy Mace, 46 years old, South Carolina.
Office: Representative (R-SC 1st District) since 2021.
She was awesome!
lol
They planned this. Agreed she would not comment. Her replacement is going to tell the narrative. She’ll be the fall girl and then it’s over. New head of SS and we don’t get ANY answers!
That’s OK. My TV is about 30 seconds off. I was watching the basketball playoffs and texting with buddy…and I was behind the entire game. It was better when we watched everything in a bubble. LOL.

I’m not watching, just responding to comments. I’ve seen enough hearings. It’s all show. What did Rush, politics is for the ugly?
“I have to laugh. I usually don’t like the whole “Yes or No” gotcha questions. But that was fun.”
Especially fun since the rats always use those “Yes or No” questions when trying to pin down a Republican or anyone on the right... but always benefitting from the “no context” aspect when the rats do it. In this case, the “Yes or No” questions were exactly pertinent to the hearing purpose.
They want this buried.
I'll have to wait for regular programming so I can fast-forward through the commercials until I catch up to live.

She is spicy per usual.
That may have been the MO. President Trump was shot. People are pissed. There’s a new GOP in town. If President Trump loses, it will be back to the same old, same old. They are desperate. Desperate people do desperate things.
~~~~~ I agree, being hopeful for a miracle....
As an aside…some of these Reps appear very young. I looked at Rep Frost and asked my wife if he was the “Student Government” rep on the committee.
I am getting old.
Best response of the day, so far, is by Nancy Mace: THAT’S BULLSHIT!

Utterly worthless.
Agree and totally surprised by AOC.
lol....
I watch Gutfeld, but I must have missed that episode.
Did you hear JD Vance talk about his grandma and how she swore?
Too funny.
Secret Service was notifed by local officials two days before the rally there was not coverage for the Arg Building available .
An anecdote that shows how much damage stupidity in the federal government can do...
A friend of mine was a supervisor of a very obscure part of a large federal agency. She and her ten employees managed a minor federal program that subsidized private businesses.
They would cut checks to those businesses on a monthly basis after the businesses submitted the required paperwork.
When she took over the supervisor job (thirty years earlier!) her boss explained that the old computer program that created the checks had some minor bugs in it that affected about three checks a day.
They had tried to get the software fixed but the big bosses did not get it done—so the supervisor had an office rule that certain types of transactions were not to be put in the computer but instead were to go to her office for processing.
The supervisor would then manually calculate the correct amount and manually issue the checks to the businesses—about three a day.
She was very good at her job and there were zero complaints. For decades morale in her shop was solid. She went though about a dozen bosses in her career—and none of them wanted the hassle of trying to get the software fixed since everything was running so smoothly.
So—finally she is ready to retire. She is the only person who knows when to cut the manual checks and how to calculate the correct amount.
She sits down with her (latest) boss and explains the problem. She wants to train someone to do this. The idiot DEI boss says her position will remain vacant for a while so there is nobody to train.
So she retires.
The employees started putting those unusual transactions in the computer. The program issued checks for these specific transactions for a nominal amount like one dollar and mailed it out to the businesses.
The businesses immediately called the office to complain. The clerks promised to look into the problem and get back to them.
The clerks quickly realized they had no idea what the problem was and nobody could help them—so they did nothing.
At thirty days or so the businesses started calling her old boss—and the old boss assured them she would “take care of it” and then did nothing.
At sixty days the business called her old bosses boss—same response.
At ninety days these businesses from all over the country contacted their congressional offices.
At one hundred and twenty days the Secretary of the Agency was looking at dozen of Congressional letters demanding immediate action and threatening Congressional hearings.
Punchline: It cost the Agency millions of dollars to hire a consultant to figure out what the problem was, and millions of dollars more to totally redo the software.
This could be happening anytime with hundreds of obscure federal offices—one retirement and one idiot manager at a time.
