Commendable integrity on the part of both Rs on the committee. Felt like a flashback to when we had a serious government.

Heard the whistles on an NPR cover of the 'press conference' along with a persistent voice, "Are you a pedophile?" asked of Gaetz.

Those earnest officers took the prize. More popcorn, please.

And a beverage. Thank you!

It is, hopefully, premature to consign Cheney and Kinzinger to the political scrapheap. The House Minority's notional "leader" may well not be the only one surprised 15 months hence. The Watergate hearings were conducted with much the same level of civility and decorum by an "old country lawyer" whose character is sadly missed today but whose conduct and leadership opened a bunch of crusted over Republican eyes 50 odd years ago and it is not outside the bounds of possibility to hope for the same today.

That was brilliant TC, I just read it today, I remember the decorum very well and I particularly like your Fucker Carlson comment. You are so dead on it motivated me to subscribe. Stay safe my brother, I treasure your point of view.

I remember those days well, TC. The agency I worked for held contracts for several Senate committees and subcommittees whose hearings we stenotyped. And I remember vividly decorum was absolutely the norm.

Here's hoping you and Dave are right about the future. Vote Blue in 22 And Once More in 24!
