Surely he said something else, and I misheard.
Right?
Serious question....I thought I heard that...not watching, just listening...

"Pick me! Pick me!!" will be a familiar refrain, and we should especially watch what those ones do in the shadows.

(55,669 posts)said, "National conservatism is an idea whose time has arrived".
In his speech, he criticized the belief that the United States is defined by a shared set of values and principles. Instead, he argued that it is a nation built by settlers as a homeland for themselves and their descendants.
Schmitt said, "we Americans are sons and daughters of the Christian Pilgrims that poured out from Europe's shores to baptize a new world in their ancient faith" and "America belongs to us, and only us".

I hope a Democratic representative takes the gloves off today in the hearing. It's clobbering time.

I love how these repub assholes gape open their pieholes when there are no ramifications.
Fucking weak cowards.

(179,753 posts)Schmitt obviously is a scumbag of the lowest order. I bet that Jack Smith is an Eagle Scout, not a lying puke.

(23,531 posts)"Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is a highly accomplished triathlete known for competing in over 100 triathlons and at least nine full Ironman competitions globally. An Ironman is an ultra-distance event that consists of a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile marathon".
It goes on to say that Smith could not even swim one pool length until his mid 30's.
As a former dedicated runner, I cannot even imagine how Smith had the mental fortitude and discipline to perform his physical accomplishments. It's truly mind-boggling.
Couple that mental discipline with his undisputable ethics, and then to have someone call him a dirtbag...
Those are indeed fighting words!

Don't know if he'll ever write a tell-all book, but it could be called "Life With a Spine". I'd read it.
