MUTE, PAUSE & FF are gonna’ be my BFFs today.
May need to leave the room when Hirono gets to speak.
That woman hates America.
They all do, but yes, she’s a B with a CAPITAL B.
B east
~>yep
Yes. This is hard to take.
The dims are so mean, so nasty, that listening to them should come with a ‘hazardous to health’ warning.
One is more bitter, more nasty than the next.
The bitterness is the part that I just can’t take…it is the one overriding emotion that comes across from everyone on the Left. They live in absolute luxury, in the greatest country in the world and they are STILL just angry and bitter at everyone who dares to challenge their dystopian doomsday scenario!
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12
Truth!
God bless you and God bless Amy!
NewsMax cuts away from Aimeeeeeee to provide sane commentary.

While the DIMs are blathering on and on and on and on, here’s a story about ACB from someone who went to school with her, with personal stories and photos.
President Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett of RHODES COLLEGE in Memphis for Supreme Court!

Good article, TwoLaine ?.
??
Dan Aykroyd is making sense
oops
>Mike Lee
?
Sen. Lee has a pretty good opening statement.
Senator Lee is clearly out of place. He’s demonstrating both intelligence and common sense.
Now, if he can only show that intelligence and common sense and vote for a full Senate recess, when that time comes, to pave the way for some President Trump recess appoints.
Kind of wish Lee had attended virtually. He does not need to be there. Apparently Doc approved his being there. Gives a talking point to the Dems. Tested positive just 12 days ago. Fox News article quotes him as saying “I am keeping my temperature under control.” If, today, he’s using Tylenol to “keep his temperature under control “, he should not be there.
Dems believe they can win votes for Biden by harping on the ACA. Frankly, they CAN. It’s something gop and POTUS have not effectively countered.
What the hell are those pictures in the back of the room?
People who will die 10 days after ACB gets confirmed.
Nick the Deplorable: Ease their suffering. Confirm now.
Go Amy! She has the perfect CV for this task! She is unassailable! But I am sure the Demtards will usher in some false accusations at any moment now!
Keith Olbermann now pontificates
Mr. Whitehouse repeated calling President Trump by “Trump” and his Covid Policies an “irresponsible botch.”
This is why I cannot watch.
A slob is he -indeed…. “Worst person in the woooooooR ld”
oops!
Whitehouse
??
I know people in NH that call their senator Wheldon Shithouse, seems to be his nickname in parts of the state. ?
RI not NH
Lol
Thanks to everyone for having the stomach to watch this and report back. The amount of hate dished out by the left is too much for my old heart to bear.
I can’t listen to these a-hole dems. I turned it off.
I’ll come back when she’s allowed to talk.
Why is she wearing a mask.
I keep hearing all the call ins, to talk radio, after the Kavabaugh hearings;
“I and my WHOLE FAMILY, have been lifelong Democrat voters, ALL voted for Hillary in 2016, ….but after watching the Kavabaugh hearings, we are all agreed; WE WILL NEVER VOTE DEMOCRAT AGAIN!”
So, while it’s a shame that ACB or anyone has to sit there and endure such vile treatment, POLITICALLY this is pure GOLD.
GIVE the Dems as much time as possible, to dig their own graves.
“You getting thirsty, down in that hole? Let me get you some water!
Need a fresh shovel,.here let me get you one!
No, really I’m glad to help!”
Dems don’t understand or respect ANY of the truism developed over thousands of years of combat, such as the rule of holes,.knowing your enemy, always have a plan B, etc.
Let them rant, every word they say, is probably worth 50 votes for PDJT.
?
Yes. A2
At the end of Graham’s speech, I would add Dems, keep it classy. (I’m sure it will be a ? show).
I am already pissed off. Had to turn the volume off to type this. The demonrats are already lying by omission, just like Kamala did during the VP debate, about pre-existing conditions. President Trump has publicly stated many times that his plan would cover pre existing conditions.
This is the perfect time, because so many people are watching and it is live for the Republcan senators to point this out. Will at least one of them have the brains and the guts to get out of the swamp for a few seconds and do it? ???.
Sheldon Whitehouse is a gasbag. A lying gasbag.
And that’s “President Trump”, you simpering leftist doormat.
Indeed.
And what exactly is his question to the candidate? Oh, that’s right. He’s just reading a script that the DNC put in front of him.
It’s not q & a time yet.
Today is just for senators to spew their venom.
Thanks, turtle. /Not!
I am watching this on the internet. It is one horrible looking event for the senate to host. Judge Barrett has a black mask on, (she can’t give it, can’t get it, already had it) she looks as if she is not allowed to speak, while the men talking have no mask. It looks like women’s rights have gone back 2,000 years to the First century. Cornyn ask her how her husband and her can function with 2 jobs and several children. I wish she would have said, like all of America does, except we have a higher income than most Americans and can afford to pay for more services to help us. Would they have ask a man that question? This is a circus and an embarrassment to both sides. The senate should stop questioning and vote on her.
I know . I hate it . Bowing down to the COVID Soros Sharia law already ! Poor lady . She had the virus already. This is really stupid . I don’t know , this looks like pandering already .
You make a good point about the mask. Subliminal thought political theater, I would not have thought of that. Her people made a great decision.
Sheldon Whitehouse: “White House super-spreader event celebrating Barret’s nomination while RBG hadn’t even been buried.”
More like it was a biological attack on the President of the United States, White House, nominated Supreme Court Justice, and other elected officials.
Biden:
(1) Freedom he will ATTACK
(2) Not gonna FRACK
(3) Definitely gonna PACK
(4) Says “You ain’t BLACK”
(5) Is a political HACK
Thats a fact JACK
Not a joke!
?
You win the Internet today as far as I am concerned. Add listingstarboard’s “That’s a fact JACK” and you have a great yard sign.
bla bla bla…. defending ObamaCare which quadrupled the cost of healthcare…
Dims speeches follow the exact same formula
Covid “fear”
Attack the POTUS
Rush process
Obamacare
Poster prop
Bonus interjection – RBG —as if it is her seat , not the seat of Supreme Court of the United States.
“RBG wasn’t (even) buried…”
>gasp!
Personally, I don’t think the ACA is going to motivate the dem base.
She looks like a hostage with that mask on! Hasn’t she had Covid? I guess they don’t want to give the press something to complain about.
She is also wearing magenta. Recently watched Deepwater Horizon again. Didn’t know until I saw that movie that a magenta warning is the worst possible outcome scenario on an oil rig. Seems appropriate for today. The oil rig is the Dem party, exploding in real time.
Have to mute the Democrats, per usual
Whitehouse:
“As for this charade, big donors may love it but Americans see what is going on, an ugly hypocritical power grab, and they know what it means for their health care in the midst of a pandemic, for republicans there is no washing your hands of the responsibility for the results that YOUR President says will end soon.”
Continued proof the disrespect and hatred comes from the top!
Too bad huge printed photos
of the times and achievements in Judge Amy C Barrett
that Ted Cruz has been noting
were not brought out
~and left on display.
Sen Ted Cruz noting there is not one question for the nominee. Only attacks on President Trump.
That’s because this is not a “question” round of the hearings. This is the committee member’s “opening statements” of 10 minutes each. Then there will be 3 introductions of Judge Barrett. And then finally, Judge Barrett will at last get to make her opening statement.
The 1st round of questioning of 30 minutes each will not even start until tomorrow. That will be followed by a 2nd 20 minutes each questioning round. Then…….. and on it goes.
Hopefully the actual committee vote will be late afternoon Thursday.
The “Crass Menagerie” continues.
This lovely woman, I’m sure, paid attention to the Kavanaugh hearings. She knows how brutal, rude, mean, wicked the Democrats are. I’m sure she is bathed in prayer by those who love her. The Democrats will attack her, as a woman, as a mother, as a professional. I pray that she holds up well. I wouldn’t put up with these people for one hot second. I will pray all day for her. May her strength, beauty, and grace shine through. May the Democrats be humiliated once again. May Justice be done swiftly. Amen.
It can’t shine through with that mask on !
How long before they bring in her kindergarten teacher?
Ted Cruz doing a great job and pointing to the Dems not even talking about ACB.
He is a great Republican Senator.
I love the mute button. Klobuchar is speaking.
Me too. Helmet hair is so gross. Fingernails meet chalkboard.
“Helmet Head.”
Senator Cruz ( even though I am still annoyed at him over the RNC convention) has talked about Judge Barrett’s qualifications and work history. He presented himself well. I am pleased with him.
KloButcher is a LIAR and needs to be called out – outrageous!
She has brought up EVERY SINGLE LIE that has beens claimed against President Trump. This is outrageous!!
That “he called the military suckers and losers, refused to condemn White Supremacists, that he held up a Bible instead of heeding its words, will not commit to a peaceful transfer of power,” etc.
This should not be allowed.
Political ad.
Simple truth and facts:
The Republicans need to repeat until the Democrats are on the edge of suicide that it was the Democrat party’s tendency to change the rules to suit their desires rather than to maintain standards which guarantees the two parties have to work together.
The Democrats CREATED this “nuclear option” where a simple majority rules. They have to accept… the voters have to accept, the unprincipled move to change the rules has created the situation under which they are currently losing their minds.
This accepting that they brought this upon themselves isn’t likely to happen. And even if they accept that it’s their fault and beg to have the decision reversed, nothing short of a constitutional amendment should be accepted as a remedy to this problem because the Democrats, if they ever get into power in the Senate again, will not hesitate to change the rules to favor their short-term agenda.
After all, I’m convinced the Democrats want to end the USA. They want the USA to become a member state within some global union of nations where the US voter no longer has any sovereignty just like the EU. Changing the rules in the short term isn’t a problem when their long-term goal is to effectively dissolve the sovereignty of the USA and the constitution itself.
We need constitutional amendments which will forever prevent this from happening. I trust NEITHER party to adhere to the constitution. We need punishments for politicians and officials who attempt to violate the constitution.
“Shall not infringe” is not strong enough language. We need some “or else” remedies in place which hold people accountable.
There was a time when I though Klobuchar would have been the best possible pick democrats could have made to challenge President Trump.
I was wrong, she is a terrible, lying drama queen on par with idiots like AOC.
A typical karen
At this point, there is NO potential candidate among the Democrat party factions and anyone who might have been ‘reasonable’ will never get approval or support.
It’s really hilarious in a way. They are completely self-unaware. Normal people, when faced with the problems they have in their unpopular agenda, would adjust adjust their agenda to gain further support. They do the opposite. They double and quadruple down on their agenda in the face of rejection.
I think they are aware, at some level, their agenda is unpopular and rather than backing off on it, they are doing everything they can to steal and/or de legitimize the election. If this was happening 20 years ago, this would be the end of the Democrat party for a very long time. We now have a tremendous population of people who think like children. By Any Means Necessary.
Do we now see why we have competitive sports in schools? To teach people to work within the rules and how to be a good sport? This is critical to growing productive and useful adults in our society. Cancelled. All cancelled. By design. We just didn’t want to see it or accept it when we were told. We just laughed and called them idiots. They knew they were fighting a war for socialism. We couldn’t even see it happening most of us…looking back on the social changes over the past 20 years or so, I think it’s amazingly clear by now.
And we have a LONG way to go to correct it.
Most people have a “favorite things Trump has done” list. I love the ending of foreign wars. Veteran and service member lives matter! They aren’t to be spent lightly. That’s huge to me. But more important to me than that is the ending of “critical race theory.” This bold stance by Trump means more to me than anything because the culture here is the most important thing. Family values and religious values are required for this country to remain free because those values are required for people to be self-accountable and to not require extreme government intervention into our lives.
I’d be interested to know what is on their “favorite things Trump has done” list. There’s probably no “wrong answer” here. But I’m a wartime veteran and a father… a father of a veteran in fact. And I’m old enough to care about the country and the world my sons, both adult and minor are growing up in. That’s why my favorites list holds those two things at the top. So what’s on your list?
IMO the only decent Dem is Dan Lapinski (IL).
They basically threw him out and a communist won(loads of outside money).
So a common sense American loving Dem doesn’t stand a chance.
He should have changed parties.

I have many, but will be selfless and add only one (so others can chime in):
Finding and bringing home stolen children. And… related.. arresting pedophiles.
The Democrat senators are so worried about people not having Obama Care. How about the 50 million plus babies that were killed because of convenience?
All of a sudden they care about the small business owners, too (roll eyes!!)
Klobuchar is demonstrating such anger and hatred that she’s trembling and shaking more than is usual for her. Graham better have a doctor on standby for these Dems.
Someone needs to verbally take her to the woodshed for these hideous LIES.
RBG dying wish.
I missed that in the Constitution.
Amy Klobuchar is a fail actor.
**Failed
Amy Klobachur is too intense and melodramatic, imo, Dems have overplayed their hand for the last four years.
Can you imagine the nerve of someone like Klobuchar to stand before this wonderful nominee and the Nation and voice such petty and vile political axes in such a naked and mendacious manner? Can you think of an insult greater than the one we are now witnessing?
John Sasse, saying he agrees with Klobuchar’s Covid concerns, but it has nothing to do with the reason they are confusing any 8th graders listening to this and the need now to make them understand between politics and civics. A needed civics lesson.
How about this being good against evil? It has nothing to do with civics or politics!
Ben Sasse is an ASS — his “friend Chris Coon? Ugh!!!!!! Guy is so full of himself. When will he flip and be a Dem? He is and has always been a NEVER Trumper. I didn’t realize he was the Chairman/Moderator of this Committee – sarc/
Ben Sasse has the biggest EGO in the senate- and that’s saying a lot.
Great talk from Sasse about how our religious liberty is off limits for government, and foundational to our Republic.
Good for Sasse to give a civics lesson to the clowns on this committee. After listening to Klobuchar/Whitehouse/Durbin blather about covid and TDS, this is a great way to expose their insanity.
Why is ACB sitting there with the hideous black mask on? All the f ing senators are next to each other and don’t wear them. Total BS. PLUS, its been reported she already had and recovered from covid. Who in PDJTs group agreed to have her look like this ?
Silence of the ABC
Hannibal Lecter
Wish I could post picture of him — Anyone who has those skills please post here with his mask on while in captivity — Thank you in advance 😉
You can bet most if not ALL politicians have taken The medication our military has successfully used for over 70yrs.
Its a narrative deterrent. If she has an ‘unfortunate COVID accident’ it will hurt the dems’ mask narrative.
Rules of the Senate, by recommendation the the Congressional doctor, say that Senators as well as those before Senate committees, and guests will wear masks unless speaking.
This has nothing to do with “ACB handlers”, she has no choice but to wear a mask when she appears before the committee.
Should have included that these rules hold true for the House as well.
Thanks for setting it straight. People just want to complain, so complain they will!
Senators as well as those before Senate committees, and guests will wear masks unless
heightening aerosol projectionspeaking.Did not she already catch and defeat coved?
How can any of her spittle be infected if she has achieved immunity?
Hey, Rulers! How about you get out from under the thumb of your paymasters and move to the light of the TRUTH?
Well, our Health Czars have stated that they don’t have scientific empirical proof yet that having had COVID gives you immunity or for how long immunity might last…..etc……etc….
Maybe it’s so she smile and sneer at them without them knowing
So they can’t see her purse her lips in disgust or swear
under her breath at the criminal behavior of the democrats.
I would not only wear a mask I would have checked my chair for sharp objects before I sat down…
Why does it matter to you so much that you’re this angry? This entire hearing is a political stunt being allowed by Republicans so that Democrats can attack the President & his nominee in preparation for the election AND in preparation for overthrowing local, state & the Federal governments they don’t control.
This hearing isn’t even required under the Constitution, which provides that in the event of a vacancy, the President shall name a nominee & the Senate shall consult and ADVISE the President on the nominee.
IMHAO, Judge Barrett is wearing a mask just so she won’t give Democrats fodder for attacking her during the hearing “with not being patriotic because she’s not wearing a mask.”
A black mask goes best w/her dress. She probably doesn’t have the time like Pelosi does to find matching masks for her outfits.
Be very angry with our feckless Republicans for allowing this farce to go on & on. Be very, very angry w/Democrats for making this hearing about Ovomitcare & striking medical care “for all” when that’s not really the issue.
My advice is save your anger for where it’s needed, not at Judge Amy wearing a mask, but at both sides who turn everything into never-Trump.
