Obviously, the administration is trying to make the Dem majority irrelevant. Well, they better fasten their seat belts and be ready for a long and grinding ride.

If Barr is confirmed soon, Whittaker will barely have time to hang up his coat in the AG office before he is kicked out.

2. Whitaker was so arrogant and condescending to Dems (and the women in particular). I despise him.

dealing with that incorrigible class clown. You just know she wanted to go down there and smack him up side his head. Actually he seemed to have that effect on a lot of people today, even some republicans. I'm not a violent person, but damn, I wanted to smack him.

it is an improvement, sort of a protection against the face smack. You have to look through the whiskers to see the smackability there.

9. He was so much worse than I had imagined

I'd love to hear what they say about him behind his back at DOJ.

He appears too arrogant and clueless to realize he is out of his depth. I had imagined he would be a bit more subdued in a congressional committee, but he was too stupid to know he isn't remotely qualified to be where he is, much like the man who put him in that position.

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one having violent tendencies!

Texas sent some great representatives to Congress in the last election. We need to send even more great Democrats.
