Poor snowflake. If I can deal with a Russian president, he can deal with some protestors.

He's just the derpiest old fart. #whichsides?

“You don’t even know what side the protesters are on.”

Well, for those of us blessed with literacy, reading their signs is generally a good indicator.

That's not the context but nice try anyway.

What should have happened to those people who were in attendance at the Hearings is to toss them out which is what happened. And they could have been (and should be) charged with disorderly conduct in some cases.

Protest all you want outside in an open public area. Not in the US Senate Chambers where serious work is underway.

If the people in the Senate don’t take their jobs seriously how can they expect us to?

Its been happening inside since the making of our country as well.

A serious charade. I'd rather hear what the protesters had to say than Cruz asking Kavanagh what his favorite color is.

They're supposed to be doing the people's work. If they're not going to then we have the right to be heard.

 

[trenchfoot]

Just another classic sign of a wanna-be dictator desperately wishing he could seize control of the nation to make all his nightmares and crimes vanish into thin air, then force everyone to obey him and his appointed lackeys and everyone will be happy ever after.

The shithead was so full of arrogance, ignorance, hubris when he threw his hat in the ring, thinking he could run things the way he operated his businesses into the ground and/or sold out to Putin and those Russian oligarch creditors of his.

Just look at him now. Running scared trying to hide every single crime he and his kids have committed.

Sad.

It is obscene that protesters should be seen/heard by those whose policies they are protesting.

I don't think so, but there is a certain level of decorum that should be considered. There is a time and place for everything.

I am surprised the protestors got anywhere near the hearings. Isn’t it SOP in Washington to just stick protestors in free speech zones well away from where a politician might actually hear them.

What a great lesson in civics. Regardless of political leanings, Sen Sasse presents a great teaching moment for all of us.

Sassy, unlike the rest of us, has actual powers of office he could use in a closely divided senate to restrain a president he views as wildly unfit for office. Instead he does nothing.

He is a perfect example of a feckless politician who talks instead of acts. He’s a terrible example for anyone.

I don’t disagree entirely here. It’s a hard line to draw where you allow dissent but still have to get work done.

Fuck you you elitist intellectual.

Serious work. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Yeah, sorry for not giving this clown any credit until he actually acts on his rhetoric.

 

[sactoking]

Yes, protesting should be illegal, then the unindicted co-conspirator couldn't use Twitter for 99%of what he uses it for now.

I remember a member of the Trump entourage blithely remarking how nice it was that there were no protesters in Riyadh...

Since he isn't answering questions what serious work?

What is the context we're missing and what point do you think you're making here?
