    I knew this was going to become a thing when they let that shitbag Kavanaugh get away with it during his SC confirmation hearing.

    Sure, you always carry research materials you can use to snark on supervisors during progress reviews. Really gives it that personal touch and distracts from your performance “oopsies”.

      She reminds me of Miss Teen North Carolina.

      “I personally believe that U. S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and, uh, I believe that our education, like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should—our education over here in the U. S. should help the U. S., uh, or, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq, and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children.”

    I wonder what the most effective way to fight this is. If it isn’t stopped both sides will do it more and more. If a democrat did it, I would really hope that other democrats would call them out on it. That might stop it. The other approach that might work is the Newsom style mocking of it.

      The easiest way to ‘handle’ it is to shut them down immediately and say ‘we’ll get to your personal grievances against me when I’m the one being questioned’ then if they fuck around again, have them arrested. They have officers in the capitol

        If that had ever happened, then it might be worth talking about. But, realistically the most you’ll ever get is “reclaiming my time”.

      Oh, I don’t expect that both sides will ever be doing any such thing. There is one side that certainly will keep taking a mile when given an inch, and that is the conservative side.

      Blue Maga isn’t going to solve anything. But that isn’t their purpose, it’s just to appeal to liberals like you, who just think Trump is too vulgar.

    This is just Faux News style shit that she was doing. These people really do think that’s how you should conduct everything in life.

    Conservatives really are just a big pile of logical fallacies.
