I Watched
I watched the entire damn hearing yesterday. I could have just watched the afternoon.
Our freshmen females on the committee gave me hope for democracy.
First, compare our 12 women against the two Republican woman on the committee. No, don’t. It’s really kinda unfair because Republican women don’t live on the same planet that we do.
Second, the last three women on our team did not come to play. They knew what they wanted and they knew how to get it. Trump Republicans, much to their chagrin, surely are realizing that young women of color are going to leave them in a heap of whimpering deflated bravado.
Third, as long as Jim Jordan is leading Republicans, they will remain the party of people you really want to stick your foot out and trip while people are watching them. He’s the junior high school schoolyard bully.
I hope you had as much fun as I did yesterday.
Thank everyone at the Salon for me. The comments from you all was the best part of yesterday’s hearing. You all have the pulse of the world at your fingertips and you are typing it into the computer. Keep up the good work and bless you all.
1Chair of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Elijah Cummings, put the “O” in oversight. Without a doubt Donnie is too st00pid to realize what this means for him. Good luck to the WH counsel explaining this new life to Donnie. Word is he’s not been known to be a bright student, so checks & balances along with oversight will be a tough lesson for him.
2Jim Jordan’s other problem:

3@Wyatt_Earl: Thanks! That made my day!
It looks like all those new young female congress critters read Al Franken’s book. They show up prepared! Underestimate any of them at your peril. I hope just the thought of them gives Mitch McTurtle the sweats (and not the good kind, either).
4I have seen firsthand why AOC strikes fear in the hearts (Do they have them?) of Republicans. She is amazing!
5We Texans owe it to the country to turn blue after sending not one but two Bushes to the White House.
6Yes Yes these women are killing it.

And the hits keep coming
Don’t forget Rep Jayapal Seattle for life congresswoman. ( Previous holder was a D Congressman for life McDemot(?)) liberal, loyal enclave.
Pelosi and AOC read riot act to quisling d’s on motions to reconsider. Notice Pelosi stood with AOC and Hoyer is now in opposition.
Training/ educating/ preparing next speaker?
Hearing ratings ala Maggie: R’s: a total charade! They know nothing and refuse to learn. The D women on the panel: a good solid fresh wind sweeping the hearing room.
8It should be mandatory for Jordan to spell his first name Gym for the rest of his days. That is all.
9I used to live close to Rep Jayapal’s district. So I’m going to consider her my rep instead of the guy (a Dem) whose name is on the ballot I cast, but who stupidly didn’t support Queen Nancy for Speaker. (Yes, I’ve let him know I’m displeased. Several times.)
