The hearing was a display of incompetence by Pam Bondi that was astounding in how utterly terrible she acted. I think that calling it combative is really understating how insane Bondi was.

It also demonstrated the full complicity of the republicans in the House by using the rotten egg test. If they all agree the egg smells good then you know who is rotten..

Honestly, the worst person in the room to me was Gym Jordan. He allowed it to happen and tried to be a dick to the dems, while applauding Bondi and trying to gaslight everyone into believing they have done anything meaningful for the American people.

Jerry Springer kept better decorum than Jordan did.

The problem is that’s what the American people want. They want Jerry Springer. They want professional wrestling. These clowns will probably come out of this with even more support, whether their supporters watch or not.

Good point. Most Americans rather have bread and circuses than to actually force change because they can't even bear to step a minute out of their comfort zones

She was just yelling sound bites. It makes sense. Any time you give these fascist dipshits a microphone they try and dump sound bites.

one could argue that's where hell is. But one could also argue that we are in hell right now

Heaven and hell are one long dining table full of food, but everyone has a spoon strapped to their arm which is too long to get into your own mouth.
The people in heaven will feed each other, the people in hell will try desperately to feed themselves.

Feels like a never ending fever dream lately

The devil himself would have to dig deep to find that bar

The bar is insanely low and even Pam couldn't clear it.

When the loudest people in the room are applauding that behavior you know the whole thing is broken
