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 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.
