It's strange that all the talking heads said she had no real chance of getting confirmed, but if you watched the hearing it would seem she's just sailing through.
Just because people don’t have legitimate objections to raise doesn’t mean they’re going to vote for her when the military industrial complex bought their office for them
 
He didn't run to Russia. The Obama administration arranged to trap him there on purpose specifically so people like you could use it to slur him the way you just did. Ben Rhodes brags about it at great length in his book. There's a whole chapter on what they did to screw Snowden in the eyes of the public.
I know. Point stands that they succeeded, didn't they. Hence why its his biggest problem.
 
I feel bad for RFK Jr. but it makes sense considering how great of a scam the healthcare system is and how easy it is to talk over someone who struggles to do the same.
it feels like RFK Jr has so much support from all types of people because health and food is such a disgusting mess in America. as much as it pains people that have been making money off the suffering of the common folk, if they were smart they would realize RFK Jr is better than the alternative. which is mass Luigi-ings
 
It's a stepping stone to making it a criminal offense to even question Israel. Aren't you glad you voted for this?

Evocative, spicy aioli on the bun, but why is the patty so thin? At what point does it stop being a burger and instead become just another sandwich? Also could have been helped by some crispy fried onions or a fried egg. Preferably both.
 
you know how i can tell patel is scary to them?

every single democrat has brought up the january 6th incident, and they have brought up the same exact names over and over. they are trying very hard to get him to say that he supports the january 6th prisoners so that they can smear him in that way. constantly, they are asking if he's going to investigate previous people in positions of power who may have done something wrong.

every time he answers, the fat, accent-having hawaiian bitch keeps saying "okay, non-responsive" despite the fact that he doesn't have to answer the way she wants for him to be responsive. now she's asking him if he made money promoting supplements, which has nothing to do with his FBI confirmation, she mumbled at the end that he 'spread dangerous misinformation'. he's weathering the questions from the democrats very well, and you can hear the tone in his voice. she's calling him '100% loyal to president trump'. and saying he can't answer questions when every question she's asking him is a leading question or a gotcha designed to give an answer she can seize.

lol, she called natives indians to him. i wonder if she did that on purpose to make fun of him being a poo.

I swear the crackles on Tulsi's mic almost feel like they're trying to sabotage him.
i can't believe tulsi is transitioning. congratulations to the trump administration on their new transgender individual.
 
Like Vivek I don't trust him. If his family was fully invested in the US I might be okay but to see his parents only considered the US an economic zone does not give me hope. He has already hinted it but hasn't done the full face off that Vivek has done. I am still waiting for the other shoe to drop.
More power to you be vigilant. We all need to be vigilant but Trump seemingly has our back when it comes to visas and birthright citizens so Im just not that concerned.
 
If they asked me one of those "are you still beating your wife" questions, I would respond by asking them an equally-dumb question, except I would ask about the truth.

"Are you still sleeping with your staffers' son?"

"Do you still bump lines off of your desk between session?"

"How did you ever resolve that issue with the car and the girlfriend?"

The first couple might step on the landmine. Then that would stop.
 
This Wyden dipshit is fucking insufferable
i hope you aren't on a visa because ice is going to take you away for saying that !
Like Vivek I don't trust him
Vivek legit scammed people. Kash Patel was a public defender in fucking Miami for a decade before joining the Trump train. If you still tolerate the american people after a decade of defending florida man, you clearly must love america. Null spent twice as long dealing with florida man and fucking hates the US.
 
This frumpy faced motherfucker, whoever he was, said this more or less: "Well Edward Snowden said RIGHT NOW that you should say YES when we ask you if he harmed national security! It'd help you so much!"

"Did he REALLY say that?" I ask.

Welllll...

Tulsi Gabbard will be required to disown all prior support for whistleblowers as a condition of confirmation today. I encourage her to do so. Tell them I harmed national security and the sweet, soft feelings of staff. In D.C., that's what passes for the pledge of allegiance.

He left out the important part, about Snowden telling them to go fuck themselves. Tulsi is very smart to not humor this bullshit.

This is pretty amazing to see in less than 12 hours, when Joepedo's administration would just not do anything because the heads of each department would just be on vacation or molesting kids or having surgery without telling anyone.
I... Uh... I'm flabbergasted. I can't stress how refreshing it is to have someone just address a current happening without a mountain of pomp and circumstance so soon after said happening.

Even more so from a person I would actually expect to have the most information at this time.
 
China is India's biggest trade partner. Modern India has a record of going it alone and playing off major powers for its own benefit, especially East vs. West stuff in the Cold War. India also buys a ton of military equipment and energy from Russia. Take that for what it's worth.
India is -poor-. They buy what they can afford, and they can’t afford US military equipment at a level that meets their needs, neither can we produce that much. We have a lot of outstanding orders.

You know who has a bunch of US fighters? Iran. Sure they’re old as fuck, but the point is if we decided everyone with Russian equipment was against us, we’d be pretty fucked.

Now since China has switched from ripping off Russian designs to ripping off American designs with stolen tech, does that mean we’re friends?
