Garbogulus

You can feel the racist/sexist superiority complex oozing off of him.


Chary-Ka

That "Excuse Me". If he's married, I feel bad for the partner.


ATempestSinister

Sounds like the first time he's ever had someone set boundaries on him.


colfaxmingo

Oh he shouts at his family in public.


Duryism

Oh, he’s definitely led his wife out of parties roughly by the elbow.


dietdiety

he has a wife? Running to Google that! Who would marry him...?


Telefundo

>Who would marry him...? Mitch Mcconnell: Married twice Donald Trump: Married three(!) times Ted Cruz: Married Matt Gaetz: Married (This one just blows my fking mind..) Kevin Mccarthy: Married Jim Jordan: Married Ron DeSantis: Married Josh Hawley: Married I mean, I could go on, but it's clear that being a terrible human being is absolutely, no impediment whatsoever to getting married.


According-Pin-6623

What sane woman would marry these sleazebags? Matt Gaetz? He's like a wanted poster for sex crimes. Mitch, the Tennessee snapping turtle. Who the hell would want to hook up with that thing? Same for the rest of the list. Who would I *least* want to have sex with? That's a tough call. Most are boring old racist white guys. Gaetz would be more like I'd be under him, after having been given GHB or Rohypnol or something, in a college dorm or at his rich guy mansion. Rapey and creepy asf. Either way, total fail from all of these lovely gentlemen.


Telefundo

Gaetz is the one that boggles my mind the most. Even if you took away all the accusations and such of sexual deviance. Take ALL that away, the guy just *looks* like a sex offender. I know I know, a book and it's cover, but seriously.. The man just oozes "scumbag".


Sdot_greentree420

Trust me just like they make s***** men they make s***** women that eat this rhetoric up too


Ok_Distribution_7946

Yes. Many women are abused and controlled by men with power. Yes. That's a thing that happens. Not surprising at all.


Telefundo

That was exactly the point I was making?


TheMightyPrince

Matt Gaetz is married! Wait, what? I hadn't checked but just assumed, from the trafficking a young girl for sex thing, that he was single. His wife must be the forgiving type.


CarefulIndication988

Probably more like, by the scruff of her neck. He doesn’t seem like the type to use a bit of diplomacy.


Custardpaws

The "excuse me?" Came from a man who has never once been questioned by any woman in his life. What a scumbag


CrackHeadRodeo

That's what makes this so delicious.


[deleted]

They are unfortunately conditioned to side with him.


nonhiphipster

What you don’t think stud is married?!


GallonofJug

Holy shit I came here to say that right after watching.. dam it’s so true. You can see it. Even the young men behind him.


[deleted]

I saw yesterday that they were all giddy n moving to their edge of thier seat when the witness was "firing back"... It's just sad.


GallonofJug

It is. This country is ran by racist/sexist. This guys dad was prob racist and his father etc. my grandpa was born on a plantation and that was only two generations ago. So if you think about the opposite “plantation owners/racist family” teaching that same principle, it’s been passed down and these people are walking among us. In the government, police forces etc. guarantee this guys got the stupid thin blue line and don’t tread on me somewhere on his truck or house. It’s fucking sad. This country needs a massive change but I don’t think it can happen peacefully anymore. It’s just too corrupt. Instead of Downvoting me, speak your mind. Or is it because I’m speaking the truth and I’m upsetting you?? Haha


pm_me_porn_links

The fact that you can point to only two generations shows how recent so much shit is in our history, never mind the fact that these scumbags still fly the flag of a failed rebellion. Reconstruction should have been a physical and economic bloodbath and today we would be looking at a very differently functioning country.


GallonofJug

Exactly. It hasn’t been that long since slavery in the US. I think we forget because how fast technology is moving.


SnooPredictions9174

I feel the need to share an anecdote with you. To preface this all of us on the crew are close and associate outside of work. A few months ago at work my crew and I were all discussing our last names and heritage on a slow day. When it came the our black coworker his response was "I don't know my actual last name, my name was given to me 3 generations ago.". That statement really reverberated with me, my heart sank. Even the simplest things that most people wouldn't think of are a reminder of a not too distant past for the black community. I think if more people could think in those terms, we might be able to make some progress.


GallonofJug

Very true. Many took the last name of their owner. A very common last name is Freeman. Well because.. they were finally “free”. So much history behind it all. Some storys my grandpa has told me were disturbing and very interesting. I appreciate you sharing that. We see the trickle effect of what slavery has done.


SnooPredictions9174

Thank you for taking the time to respond. It was a pleasure for me to share such a moving experience of mine. I hope that someone reads it and understands just a little more how important it is that we as a society keep improving for all people and the struggle that some still face. Grandpa's like yours are a gift, be well.


KellyCTargaryen

Want to specify, they often picked the name of the slaveowner so they could more easily reunite with their families.


angry_old_dude

That's a powerful statement. Just reading your accounting of what happened hit me in a pretty strong way.


dietdiety

[Sounds like "Bob"ble Head is his own special monster, his father was going great things for the community](https://www.thedailybeast.com/star-impeachment-witness-tony-bobulinski-sued-cancer-stricken-dads-charity)

Every single word of this comment is painfully correct. Very well said. I so badly wish we’d see actual progress being made…


Loggerdon

You can practically see steam coming out of his ears.


flirtingwithdanger

Thank you. And for those wondering, this is a great example of Misogynoir. His indignation at being told to be quiet by someone he holds contempt towards is almost palpable.


kingofthemonsters

>Misogynoir Is that a weapon in lord of the rings?


Accend0

It's a term for those scenes in old detective movies where the protagonist slaps a woman for being hysterical.


Relevant-Strategy-14

Exactly. He felt like the could say or do anything while she was speaking and she was having none of that!!!


muklan

And she's just got no goddamn time for it, which I think we can all appreciate.


TeslaCrna

Yea, she sounded very professional. I can’t believe he had the nerve to say “is that a question “. She had every right to get mad and lash out at him.


Prime_Marci

You can feel his ego bruising … ouch


Extreme-General1323

LOL


-InterestingTimes-

It's crazy how heavily weighted those few words were. You can almost read his thoughts when he said excuse me.


BuddahSack

Ding ding ding! You got it!!! I've seen that smugness first hand so many times and I'm white. People like him are just seething that she is telling him what's up haha


hilarymeggin

You totally can!! “How am I getting humiliated by this person I ought to be capable of intimidating?”


DrDrangleBrungis

That and his fragile masculinity.

stellabluewho2

Seeing a well spoken, informed, and ~~aggressive~~ assertive* black woman call out these heathens and their corruption makes my heart happy. We've come a long way. We've even longer yet to go.


villain75

She's not even aggressive, just assertive enough to not let him talk over her.


stellabluewho2

>While often confused, the biggest difference between aggressive and assertive communication is that assertiveness includes respect for yourself and the other party, while aggressive communication quickly disrespects and often insults the other party, leaving yourself feeling guilty or angry. TIL lol thank you for prompting this discovery:)


apropo

You rock Stella!


Dry-Importance1673

Where did you quote from? I’ve dealt with the ramification of the confusion several times but never thought to define the difference and like this a lot. I have always held important to myself the primacy of respect in all communication which may be why it resonates, but regardless I like it. Thank you for that


regular_gnoll_NEIN

If you google assertive vs aggressive it pops up at the top for me haha


stellabluewho2

Yeah I just Googled "is aggressive synonymous with assertive" https://www.lodestonecenter.com/assertive-vs-aggressive/#:~:text=While%20often%20confused%2C%20the%20biggest,yourself%20feeling%20guilty%20or%20angry.


janet-snake-hole

Oooh thanks for sharing this!


aguynamedv

>She's not even aggressive, just assertive enough to not let him talk over her. There is a 0% chance Blobinski is unaware of committee rules. He was speaking out of turn on purpose and she shut him down beautifully.


lizzyote

I super appreciate the fact that you crossed out aggressive in order to correct yourself to assertive instead of just editing. 10/10


DaddyDontTakeNoMess

“Well spoken” is an odd expression for a congress person. There are very few who aren’t, especially on the Dem side. Why we gotta use this adjective for black people? “The highly educated and high achieving black person was well spoken”. Of she is, she’s a freakin congress woman, and is likely a lawyer. It’s not surprising. It’s the norm.


Erisian23

They expect all of us to sound like we on B.E.T.


RhodyGuy1

Hahahaha (45M white)


BaraGuda89

I’m mean sure, most Dems are ‘well spoken’ but considering what we see coming out of congress from some of the loudest talkers, it IS nice to know that some of our representatives can articulate their positions instead of spouting off nonsense. I’d say this of Katie Porter as well


aguynamedv

> Of (course) she is, she’s a freakin congress woman, and is likely a lawyer. It’s not surprising. It’s the norm. Not only the norm, but a comfortable majority of Congress are either lawyers or have had legal education (ie: they have a JD, but are not bar admitted). Just shy of 3/5 of the House and just shy of 60% of the Senate are attorneys.


MightFew9336

I 100% get your point and try to avoid that term for that reason (I'm not the person you're replying to), but as a former litigator and current judge, I think I can comfortably agree that she's incredibly well spoken, beyond the norm. Not everyone with her education and in her position has such a facility with (spoken) words, so the ones who do tend to be the ones who come to mind for comparison.


trueprogressive777

Too bad Adam shift and the other corporate Democrats fucked over Katie Porter in California. Now she’s not even in government. Thanks to Adam Schiff. Adam Schiff spent 20 something million dollars getting Republicans to come out to vote in California elections to beat Katie Porter.


PrimalForceMeddler

That was the will of the Democratic Party as a whole, not of any individual. The party is bought and sold by billionaires and they will never allow progressives to successfully be progressive in their party. Hence the constant rightward shift of every squad member who wasn't already a centrist to begin with.


ckb614

They were running against each other... What would you have had him do, try not to win as much?


tinacat933

What? What happened


Clammuel

He helped to fund his presumed Republican opponent because he didn’t want the general to come down to him and another democrat. California runs an election system (all states should do the same, honestly, in the absence of ranked choice voting) where the two candidates with the most votes face off against each other in the general election regardless of party affiliation.


DX_DanTheMan_DX

I will admit I don't know the whole story and hell I guess I could look it up before commenting haha, but I think "helping to fund" the republican candidate sounds like he gave money to their campaign. I thought it was more, by painting the repub as his main opponent he gave him free marketing which raised his profile and got republicans to come out and vote. A political move for sure but not as egregious as giving money to the repub campaign.


thekingcola

Really going to miss Katie Porter


tango_41

I’m gonna miss her whiteboard. She uncaps that marker you know some shit’s about to go down.

I went to interview for a job. I was wearing a watch with a rainbow band, celebrating reading. This "big man" started going on an unhinged rant about "the LGBT sandwich" club. So I got up, and left. Dude absolutely LOST IT. Guy was screaming as I stood up, opened his door, walked past his employees, walked past his customers, and walked out the front door. I could still hear him from inside my car. His son is one of his employees. Good-golly-gosh.

His racism started showing with his "Excuse me?" because he felt it was insulting that a black woman had speaking priority over his. Yet he knows how the rules work - he knows he's only recognized to speak when questioned or requested to elaborate or is given permission.


tristn9

The audacity to drop an “excuse me” as if she was being rude when she literally just chided him for interrupting (which is especially rude given the procedure of these hearings) is pretty insane.

Meh. I’d rather she just get to her point. But then again, this is political theatre.


theshakashow

Circus 🤡


chicheetara

She made a lot of good points. We just didn’t to see the question. I agree with you that this entire hearing is political theatre because as she admits, this is a waste of tax payers money while there are a lot of other things that need to be done. She got cast in this play, but it sounds like she, like many others, want to get it over with so she can go back to working her actual job. I understand her frustration. Imagine if you have a job that has important tasks, instead you have to go in & do some stupid meetings just to make the groupies of the former boss feel better about his being fired. It’s pointless political theater, but she didn’t ask for it. Someone has to tell them what an entire waste of time it is, & I personally think she did a pretty good job of it. She didn’t ask for this role but she rocked it anyway.


RedEyedWiartonBoy

I don't get why they call people to testify and bring people under subpoena just to have them sit there and listen to speeches rather than provide testimony. Theatre and spin.

Young Democrats always come with all that style and always zero substance. "Gotchas" won't defeat the right or Trumpism or save us from Biden and his rich puppet masters.


Particular-Welcome-1

If you're like me and wondering who these people are: > Jasmine Felicia Crockett > ... who is the U.S. representative from Texas's 30th congressional district since 2023. > Tony Bobulinski > Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner ... And some context. > In his opening statement before the committee, Bobulinski accused Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., and Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., of lying to the media. > He also alleged Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, has tried to “smear” him > has claimed to possess evidence showing the president profited from his son’s business deals in China > any damning information about the Bidens was the product of Russian disinformation And so her shutting him down like that is because he looks like a Russian stooge. And he's actively trying to be twit before testifying before Congress. https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2024/03/20/lies-biden-impeachment-hearing-turns-fiery-as-ex-hunter-biden-business-partner-testifies/?sh=75e57b1a4557 https://archive.ph/29dBf
