Gabbard, RFK Jr., Patel hearings set to consume Capitol Hill
The Hill ^ | 01/30/25 6:00 AM ET | by Al Weaver

Posted on 01/30/2025 4:41:04 AM PST by RandFan

Hearing-mania is set to consume Capitol Hill on Thursday as a trio of President Trump’s top allies appear for high-stakes confirmation showdowns with senators that could make or break their chances of getting across the finish line.

Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Kash Patel will simultaneously appear for confirmation hearings Thursday morning, setting up a triple-box of events that are set to command the attention of Washington as GOP members try to keep their unblemished run of confirming Trump’s nominees.

“It’s huge,” said Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, which Kennedy will appear before. “We’ll separate the men from the boys tomorrow.”

The RFK jr. thread yesterday has/had 600 posts! This could even be bigger today as Gabbard appears.

Will the Dems go into attack mode like they did with RFK Jr? I must admit they will look stupid and even insult their own supporters but what do I know...

There would be no theater without turncoat Republicans.

This should all be slam dunk stuff.

If you are against Trump’s nominee’s, you were for the assination attempts if you weren’t part of it.

I can’t believe they didn’t give RFK even one day between hearings to give him a little down time.

Megyn Kelly was sitting next to Cheryl Hines yesterday. I wonder if it’s a coincidence, or if Megyn is there for moral support.

Rand is on the HELP committee!! He will be ultra supportive.

I’m looking forward to it and also how they treat Tulsi?

Will the same pattern as yesterday repeat i.e they attack her? We’ll soon see

Not surprisingly, the Independent Medical Alliance (formerly FLCCC) supports the comfirmation of RFK.

Bingo. Democrats act as a unified block. Republicans are split between conservatives and RINO/Deep Staters. It really is amazing. And not in a good way.

They better not. Last night is an example of why the full cabinet is needed to be in place as soon as possible. God forbid there is an attack of some kind.

Republicans are split between conservatives and RINO/Deep Staters.

The division has a good deal more clarity when referring to the two parties as Uniparty and America-First Patriot Party.

With the one caveat that occasionally, one or another person in the Uniparty is allowed to drift for a moment, but only for a cause deemed useful to the Cabal.

“Republicans are split between conservatives and RINO/Deep Staters.”

Democrats are split between socialists and deep staters. Difference is the deep staters use the liberals as their attack dogs.

“Rand is on the HELP committee!”

That’s a relief. He has a clear mind and no hidden agenda.

The democrat women in these hearings do everything they can possibly do to live up to their stereotype. Ugly, shrill, borderline hysterical, emotional, stupid, and totally without logic.

They sure don’t like anyone leaving the Party to help America.

In other words, they appeal to their base.

The single most important nomination of the entire cabinet is Tulsi Gabbard. Intelligence agencies fed Bolton what he wanted to hear and what was presented to Trump in his first term about North Korea and about Venezuela.

Without Bolton we probably would have some form of Korean reunification in place today because of the boldness of Donald Trump. He made trips to North Korea and met with the leadership there and had them persuaded to move away from nuclear confrontation and towards some sort of friendly configuration with the South. This would happen through the reduction or elimination of largely useless sanctions and the end to the periodic panic in Japan because North Korean missiles are flying overhead.

Then we have Bolton assuring Trump that if he only believes the intelligence that he can put hundreds of thousands of people in the street of Caracas and overthrow Maduro by tightening sanctions. Intelligence had absolutely no reason to think this. It didn’t happen and he just won another election. And he did win it. He bribed the populace living in the barrios and they voted for him, which is exactly what Chavez used to do. Bolton drove Maduro deeper into the arms of China and Russia and his only response would be that he could produce intelligence analysis saying that even more sanctions would get millions into the streets of Caracas.

And so we have Tulsi Gabbard whose position is that she doesn’t want narrative driven intelligence forwarded to Congress or the president that is designed to put American military at risk. She will sterilize the intelligence of narrative. Reports that say if you do this and this then the people will think this and this will be tossed in the trash. No more mind reading out of the intelligence agencies. Purely facts and most of it from satellite recon.
