Jake Tapper joins little Georgie Stepinawfulstuff.

It’s likely that they are hearing the feedback on their ridiculous rantings in the earlier hearings. I expect them to try to formulate their last gasp for Kennedy and Gabbard.

Is Bartlett colorblind? Shoes?

You guys can learn to address him as Secretary Hegseth.

Not a good idea.

Because people keep recognizing his leadership qualities.

He’s not considered a backbencher by anyone not afflicted with TDS. Quite the opposite, he’s been considered an up and coming, promising candidate for bigger and better positions for years. You’ve never met him, have you? You don’t know him, do you. You just allow your affliction to take over and spout off revelations of your own ignorance, dragging your own shredded credibility down further.

I’ve been hearing Pete Hegseth’s accolades for better than two years. He’s been a guest on many shows that I don’t suppose you watch. A recurring theme is his being a soldier’s soldier and an excellent candidate for a high position, especially involving the military. We’d be better off with a drunk Hegseth than a sober Loyd Austin, who was AWOL and unreachable for at least two extended periods during his term. When Lincoln received reports that Grant was a drunk, he said find out what he’s drinking and send some to all my generals. Your opinion that he’s a nobody, a backbencher, picked for his looks, is entirely fabricated and you couldn’t support it if you had to.

I didn’t see property, sales, car tags, excise, licensing and permitting, etc, on the list.

I can’t see that anything has changed.

I’m not a lawyer either, but I read a lot on it and listen to podcasts where lawyers discuss both current and historic cases. The one line that I keep in the back of my mind, forget who it is attributed to, is you might not get justice, but you will get a decision. Byron York reports that the Smith report admits that he wasn’t sure he could get a conviction on insurrection, even in an adversarial DC court, so he didn’t charge anyone with it.

I can assure you, Jack Smith is not a straight shooter. Turley is, to a fault. It would be my preference to read opinions of lawyers who have taken cases before the Supreme Court and won, not one who has been rejected unanimously.

Jack Smith and his associates misrepresented facts and evidence in the proceedings, and lied to the judge. What do you think he did in his ‘report?

I caught her telling Shiff he was doing the same thing he’d been censured for.
