When we get a majority back, can we change the way these hearings run?

Specifically, is anyone else fucking sick to death of all the useless grandstanding?
I mean, if you're gonna do oversight and mean it, then DO THAT, and dispense with this theater.
If you wanna put on a show, then PUT ON A FUCKING SHOW AND MEAN IT.
One or the other.
The first, correct answers are yes, no, I don't know the answer and I plead the 5th, and anything else gets you contempt and a cell.

The other way, witnesses to crimes. All of them, no matter how outlandish.
Blanche should have to sit there with tape over his craw while every whistleblower and victim of this DOJ says their piece. FOR DAYS.
If you're gonna put on a show, make it so fucking humiliating that Blanche rage-quits for the sake of his kids.
But pick a lane.

Congress people on both sides like the grandstanding. But also limiting answers like you proposed is bad. Many questions can't be properly answered with simple yes/no answers.

be prepared for dirty underhanded crap. There should be auditing by both Demo and Republican at the
same time with the public present at the time of count and computer experts to expose any crap going on. The public really accepting this situation makes me wonder what thde hell is wrong with people..are they just beaten
down or too stupid to see what could occur?

The Heritage Foundation and News Corporation. As long as these parasites still attach themselves to the host, republicans will do literally anything these two hideous organizations tell them.

'The weaponization of law enforcement'

Motherfuckers, the justice department is SUPPOSED to be weaponized against criminals...thats its entire purpose for its existence. If you don't want that weapon pointed at you,
MAYBE DONT COMMITT CRIMES AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION.

And yes, the president's gardener at Mar-a-lago WAS targeted, yes sir he fucking was...

Because he committed obstruction of justice at the order of his boss.
