All this time I thought Tubby Tomerville would take over the dumbest senator title from Inhofe, WRONG.

Goody. More worthless political theater with no meaningful action anticipated or desired.

dr_coyote · September 28, 2021, 2:15pm

Welp, we kinda know how this will play out. (e.g., GOP chickenhawk cosplaying & theatrics, further condemnation–in any sane world–of Trump’s utter criminality)

Donald’s #Treason is a capital crime.

This is surprising coverage.

Can we please just have the civil war to get this shit over with now?

I’d be stuck inside a town and a job that’s on the wrong side.

General Milley is a soldier. If you take that gig you accept that you and your life does not matter. Only your country does. That’s what MIlley acted on when he took steps to make sure that country wasn’t ruined by an incompetent megalomaniac. He just did what is asked of him.

No way the soft handed goobers “grilling” him get what Milley is and what his mission was.

You could be a spy.

To Imhofe:

You are on the wrong end of this Hearing. Your Cult Leader will not come off well by any stretch of the imagination.

valgalky23 · September 28, 2021, 2:34pm

No you may not.

grack · September 28, 2021, 2:39pm

Welcome to the resistance!

grack · September 28, 2021, 2:40pm

What’s your hurry? We haven’t even started picking out uniforms yet.

castor_troy · September 28, 2021, 2:42pm

Can we take the gray this time? The opposition got the cool outfits last time.

Stupid R Woman Senator asking whether we requested the use of Russian bases to use to extract Americans from Afghanistan.

I can only assume this is a story on OAN.

khyber900 · September 28, 2021, 2:47pm

The Senators need a tutorial not a hearing. The Congress (including many Dems) have been embarrassingly bad on Afghanistan. Glad Biden ended that war.

grack · September 28, 2021, 2:48pm

If we have to start the war right away it better be something we’ve all got already.

eddycollins · September 28, 2021, 2:50pm

ha ha–Inhofe to @dont:

Here, hold my beer…

Maybe not, but if the GQP don’t overrun the hearing with their conspiracy theories and the chairman can keep things on track, this guy could set a lot of the myths straight.

The media will only cover the conspiracy stuff, but the truth will out.

Oh fuck…it’s Cotton.
