I just heard five minutes of heavy traffic bullshit from the GOP repeating the same obstructive comments under the guise of point of orders and another parliamentary nonsense. It's all about creating a headache for the viewers.
And I wonder if they intentionally used Castor as their attorney in order to create more confusion over the taking of the oath.

Watched the Senate Hearings during the 1964 voting rights act . Today's Tenor and stupid questions from the Retugs were very similiar. Do recall the Chair Person hammering the gavel umpteen times . The Dixie Crates were so Pissed beyond belief.

(33,400 posts)You've been given permission, nay, encouragement, to dismiss it all out of hand.
Trump has given you easy, short words with hard consonants to repeat whenever your glass house is threatened: "Hoax", "Fake", "Witch Hunt". Those all work well when you're inside the GOP Propaganda Bubble.

(47,613 posts)but I don't think republican voters would see it that way. They'll see what the disruptive members intend for them to see - the Democrats aren't playing fair and won't let republicans participate, boo hoo hoo.

(82,849 posts)Casually interested citizens who want to know firsthand what all the fuss is about will get offended or bored and retreat back to the safety of "This is why I don't like politics." They will unplug from the process and if they connect at all, it will be through favored media outlets that confirm their biases. The most prominent bias being that "both sides" are conniving chiselers, nobody can know what's really going on, and a pox on all parties involved.
