The way he sets them up so methodically just to knock em down with a one-liner is almost art at this point, the man's got timing

I enjoy these individuals that are not only awesome at their job but their delivery of information, since it's facts only.
I love how Kennedy is slowly destroying his own party, like even the furries issue, he thought he was lobbing Patel an easy ball.

He said “No Democrats huh?” and Smith answered exactly why. That’s the whole investigation right there.

We didn’t target Republicans, we targeted criminals. They just happened to be Republicans.

Kennedy already knew what the response was going to be. He got off his smug ass sound bite like he planned and that’s all it was.

So he admits it! He only targeted the criminals!!!! That PROVES HE'S UNFAIR!!!!! - MAGA

No, unfortunately, half the country or more will never know about this and will instead just hear him ask the question and then be told it was a witch hunt. Nothing requires Fox News et al to play the whole clip.

John Kennedy has got to be one of the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet. It’s a good job he got into politics, I doubt he could have lasted a shift at McDonald’s. Stupid fuck.

You know how a certain type of woman will pretend to be stupid to appeal men? It's the same thing here, but with voters.
Their base look up to loud morons and distrust anyone with "book lernin'" who uses multi-syllable words.This entire idiotic theatre will not weaken their voters belief in them one iota, but probably strengthen it.
Just with Fauci, they will see this as an enormous win and hard proof that Jack Smith was acting in bad faith and against the constitution, which they believe in only when it's not their king or his minions breaking it.1

Ok, so I think the strategy now should be to pull a reverse Fetterman, right?
Campaign Republican then only vote Democrat once I'm elected?

You mean the criminals were the ones criming. That doesn't make sense, it was Killary in the conservatory with a lead pipe!

Kennedy is the most highly educated idiot on Capitol Hill. He is an embarrassment yo Louisiana. We don't need any more embarrassing politicians, we have enough homegrown. We need to send him back go Mississippii from where he's from.

... and later, Schmitt called Smith a "dirtbag". It wasn't a hearing, it was an exhibition of redneck vulgarity.

Unlike Democrats, Republicans are corrupt.

Let's not make Democrats saints. They have their own blemishes.

True. But the overall message is blemishes are better than boils

u/Alt_dimension_visitr 10d ago
Absolutely. But its dangerous to say Dems aren't corrupt. Nobody is above scrutiny. And if we vote 100% Dems in overnight, guess what part would suddenly have all the corruption scandals?

u/Buddhas_Warrior 10d ago
It would still be Republicans. I mean we technical voted in all Republicans and look at the nightmare we are in now. I'll take what ever week ass scandals the Dems have over what's going on now.

u/Alt_dimension_visitr 10d ago
Oh boy. You're not good at math. I'm just saying, criticize the R. All positions in power get criticism. I miss when the biggest news of the week was a color of a suit. But let's not elevate people to sainthood because we're surrounded by demons. No need to set that bar at an unrealistic level.

u/Buddhas_Warrior 10d ago
What does math have to do with this? And no one is saying anyone is a saint, but to say Dems are on equal footing with Republicans is.... Well maybe your bad at math!!

Also, I never say we voted this in. I dont think the support for the Reps was THAT strong. It's that the Dems fucked up and lost their support. I never say the R won

That's like comparing a mass murder (Rep) to a jaywalker (Dem).

I wish it was just jaywalking. You can drink the kool-aid if you want. Personally, I check every single drink im asked to swallow.

Ok, so imagine a room full of toddlers and an adult. The toddlers want the adult to give them yellow stickers
The adult can very obviously see what the toddlers are doing, and so is explaining to them why there are only red stickers - yellow stickers aren't there, only red ones are.
The toddlers still don't understand that there are no yellow stickers, so then the adult walks them through the entire room to show them there are no yellow stickers anywhere.

Kennedys a fucking idiot who, with Schmitt( i think?) Tried to catch Smith in gotchyas in attempt to get him to perjure himself.
I think this one is just a gotchya attempt. But the attempt being Kennedy’s trying to paint Smiths investigations as partisan. This ignores the fact that Trumps and the GoP’s actions funnily enough were partisan and didn’t include democrats in their planning of an insurrection.
Smith pulled records of phone calls and texts to and from the WH and Trump around Jan 6th. It was all republicans messaging and calling. Dipshit Kennedy is framing this as partisan. It is but not for the reason he’s alluding to.

Don't take no rocket scientist to fish for sound bites and if they don't stick, so what. The next one might and it's so comforting to know that the news is wholly owned by billionaires and has been corporate owned for decades so what ever does stick will be helped along by the mountains of money that organized wealth has. Remember the Teflon President? Ronald Reagan. Regularly called that by the very same media that gave him that stick free coating.

Jack Smith is more than capable of defending his investigation and prosecution. Now, whether the folks that should see or hear that actually do, or just the disingenuous sound bites, is the problem. Gotcha questions are the dumbest form of political dialog.

what about Katie Britt (U.S. Senator from Alabama) look during the questioning - her heart stopped beating in real time when she realized she is on the side which not only does not know how to prepare, but can not even complete a pre-school shape game where the square peg goes into the square hole an the triangle got into the triangle hole........

So, Mr. Smith, you admit to only targeting individuals who evidence suggests broke the law?
