The dividends of 26 years of experience in the House.

1. Yep. I saw this earlier today. K & R nt

.

[spooky3]

2. What an arrogant pig he is.

[spanone]

3. another trump asshole with no respect for anyone 'not on their side'

[longship]

4. Mnunchkin!

[oasis]

5. Someone should've warned Mnunchin that "Scrappy" Maxine don't play.

6. Who checks that the testimony given is truthful?

Seriously?

Has he not been interviewed about the allegations he said he wasn't even aware of? Has he not at least been asked for comment by any reporter or news organization on any of these topics?

7. Just more crap lost in the crap fire.

[irisblue]

8. Kick cuz

Watching her legislatively slap the snot out of him was delicious.

[thbobby]

9. Heartwarming. In bad-ass way

Seeing such an intelligent and strong woman not taking bullshit from a man makes me so happy.

Maxine Waters is a great role model for all of us. Hard for me to express how much I respect and admire her.

[flibbitygiblets]

10. Reclaming my time scumbag!

Go Maxine!

[JHan]

11. Conservative media is already cryin....snoflakes.

[ehrnst]

12. "Reclaiming My Time" should be a tee shirt. (nt)

[mdbl]

13. you go Maxine!

one of these days these sleezebags will have to answer a question.

[FBaggins]

14. Actually... I thought that she came across as a childish bully

He would probably have come off far worse if she had just let him speak... because it sounds like he was going to say that she's not entitled to a response... which is probably true, but would have looked far worse if she had let him say it than keep interrupting.

I wonder when they'll have a transcript of the rest of the hearing?

[oberliner]

15. I think he was going to stall and say a bunch of nothing

In order to run out the clock on her time to ask questions.

I think that is why she did what she did.

[FBaggins]

18. Which would have made HIM look bad when she pointed it out

"Ok... now would you actually answer my question?"

From the transcript I've seen... she didn't get an answer anyway.

The real answer is probably "four members of the minority side of a House committee can't compel a cabinet secretary to do work for them - the committee has to do that". While true, he would have looked bad saying it.

[lillypaddle]

17. I think she did exactly the right thing

this asshole wanted to bully her with flattery and it didn't work. Good for her.

[ehrnst]

23. +1000. (nt)

[lillypaddle]

16. Badassssssssssssssssssss!

[DK504]

19. I want to punch him in the face.

That has been my reaction since the 1st time I saw him. Thank God for Auntie Maxine. These asses that want to eat up hours worth of time telling the questioner how wonderful they are they are incapable of answering a damn question. Finally someone slapped them in the snout.

[smirkymonkey]

20. Nice going Maxine!

[HAB911]

21. Do I hate Mick Mulvaney or Munckin more

I'm conflicted

[Leith]

22. He Was Obviously Trying to Run Out the Clock on Inconsequential Fluff

Good for her to slap that out of him.

Frankly, I'm astonished that the chair actually said that minority members got to claim back their time. There must have been some verbal fist fights about that before the Q & A.
