When Balint’s time expired, and the out lawmaker yielded back, Bondi asked for a moment to respond, and used it to go on the offensive: “You didn’t ask Merrick Garland anything about Epstein,” she said. Balint shot back: “Weak sauce.”
Bondi then escalated: “And with this anti-Semitic culture right now, she voted against a resolution …”
Balint cut her off: “Oh really? Do you want to go there, attorney general?” she said. “Talking about antisemitism to a woman who lost her grandfather in the Holocaust?”
The lawmaker then got up and left the room.
I love how the Dems on the panel finally just asked to hear her worst insults, just for a laugh. Kind of takes the wind out of your sails when your victims are laughing at your meanest insults, and calling your folder a “burn book,” straight out of Mean Girls.
And the charge of Trump Derangement Syndrome is hilarious, and they haven’t figured it out yet that every American thinks it applies to THEM. And yet the only ones who throw it out there thinking it is is a wicked burn, are the ones who are best described by the term. The people with Trump Derangement Syndrome are MAGAs, and EVERYBODY knows it. Despising a corrupt traitor pedophile is normal, you HAVE to be deranged to worship him the way they do. It’s fucking weird, seriously.
And she should be charged with Contempt of Congress, and perhaps worse, for stealing a Congressional Rep’s computer history. I’m sure they have the search histories of all those reps who reviewed the Epstein Files. That’s a 4th Amendment violation, at the very least, and I suspect that the method of reviewing the Epstein Files under such restrictive terms, was engineered to get info on Democratic troublemakers.
Impeach her, and throw her in prison where she belongs.
I have a bunch of trumper coworkers who love to talk about Trump Derangement Syndrome. For fun I’ve been agreeing with them but telling them Trump Derangement Syndrome means that Trump is deranged. They get quite apoplectic.
Trump is certainly deranged, but the people who really have TDS are the ones who believe a corrupt business man will “drain the swamp”, a crook will restore law and order, a guy with 6 bankruptcies will somehow fix the economy, and a guy who spreads hate, blasphemes, cheats on his third wife with a porn star, brags about grabbing pussies, and is clearly too deeply involved with a major pedophile network, is somehow a christian and a leader sent by God.
There is so much contradiction and cognitive dissonance involved there, it must be some sort of mental disorder.
FWIW the trumpers that I know don’t believe that any of the things you mentioned are true. They think all that stuff is a smear campaign by liberals who hate such an effective conservative leader – that’s literally what “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is to them.
Somehow, the only exception to this is the “grab 'em by the pussy” comment which they do believe he said, but they believe he was joking and said it just to piss off us snowflakes.
Watch them. When things get rough, and Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller orders the rank and file to turn on their neighbors, they will.
If I was there I would refer to her as piggy and if she said something I would ask her to explain if every person, especially a man, uses the term does it indicate something wrong with them or that they are bad in some way for using the term.
