I have been watching the questioning of the Republican nominees. What a farce!
Mad Dog Warren was asking for guarantees. She might as well ask for a guarantee that living costs will not rise in the next four year. How can anyone 'guarantee' anything that is going to happen in this changing world? Then she asked more questions that had already been asked and answered.
The Democrats are rude and belligerent in their questioning. It is obvious that they are applying their personal agendas, interested only in being right, exerting their power (however limited) and caring nothing about the possibility of working together with Republicans for a better future.
They complained about not enough time to ask their questions. What they do is deliver a lecture for several minutes before they even begin to ask a question. If they didn't love the sound of their own voices so much and kept their question to the point they would have more questioning time.
As a group, the Democrat Congresspersons don't look very bright!

These things are jokes. They are a platform for the Democrats to grandstand, in hopes of a resurgence in the mid terms or 2020. As far as i am aware all the nominees are expected to be confirmed, likely with virtual unaminous Democratic opposition. So much for working with the new Administration for the good of the country. Many of them won't even attend the inauguration, and will nurse their misanthropy at home.

Same process as with any confirmation hearings. The people might change, but the attitudes are identical.


Stop pretending this is any different.

It is their last moment for at least a couple of years.

They are always a circus. More so if President and Congress are opposite political stripes. Then you have to repeat the circus several times usually.
