Reclaiming My Time

| July 29, 2020

For anyone that watched the hearing yesterday with Attorney General Bill Barr, we are left asking the question: “Can we reclaim our time?”

For those that did not see the hearing, the entire day was a repeating pattern – Democrats would list all their grievances with Barr and when they would ask a question, it was usually framed within an accusation.  When he started to answer, they would interrupt him and say “Reclaiming my time” which often was repeated several times and forceably.

Congressman Nadler started the hearing off by reading off a list of accusations against Barr.  This prompted some interesting social media memes.

This filibuster tactic had to have been a strategy discussed before the meeting.

Barr remarked one time “This is a hearing, I thought I was the one who was supposed to be heard.”

The Republicans adapted to this strategy and allowed some of their time to respond to the topic once the time ran out on the previous Democratic questioner.

Congressman Jordan made the point that they have been trying to get Barr to testify for months, but when he is finally here they do not allow him to answer any questions.

It was a bizarre display of political gamesmanship.

To top it off, late in the day Barr asked for a 5 minute recess and Nadler said “no.”  There were some comments made by Jordan but Nadler stuck to his guns and refused.  Barr pointed out that he waited 45 minutes for Nadler to arrive late due to a minor car accident, and Barr was not given the opportunity to have lunch, so a 5 minute break was not asking for too much.

Nadler softened his position and said they were almost done.  Barr insisted and Nadler finally relented.

Keep in mind, ladies and gentlemen, we’re paying for all of this.

See, I know how to handle people like Nadler: Tell him I either get a bathroom break – 25 minutes minimum – or I unload right there on the floor and he can clean it up.

Dems are rude as hell these days, y’know. The joy of being rude right back at them would bolster any responses I could possibly make. 🙂 But that’s just me: obnoxious, crabby, cranky and mean as a snake.

He should have responded “Reserving my time!” back at them and stumped Jerry “Humpty Dumpty” Nadler.

That would definitely have been the news of the day:
“Breaking News: William Barr takes a dump in Congress!… (photo of his lily white @$$ showing and a steaming pile on the table in front of Nadler) as Chairman Rep(D) Nadler refuses to allow a bathroom break during testimony”

I still sometimes think we need to find a JAL Pilot with a widebody jet and a “Debt of Honor” to pay.

“….we’re paying for all of this.” Yep, that’s what has always been the saddest part.

Barr should’ve used the Animal House defense
“Isn’t this an indictment of our entire American society? Well you can do whatever you want to us,but we’re not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America.”
And get up and walk out.

Barr none and Barr is a real gentleman and what he should have done when those demoRAT peeps were almost yelling at him was get out of the chair and walk out telling the shit birds that he would be back when they all calmed down. I watched some of the debacle.

I agree. I was hoping he would turn around and look behind him, or take another posture such as folding his arms and look disgusted at his accuser. I even wanted him to get up and leave. I couldn’t watch but 20 minutes or so.

The Dems most likely just wanted to generate sound bites for the evening news.

The Demagogues are not interested in truth, reality, justice, or preserving and defending the Cosntitution of the USA.

I am becoming more and more convinced they want a bloody revolution.

Nadliar also said over the weekend that Antifa violence in Portland is a “myth” being spread only in Washington.

I also liked his rant about Jim Jordan’s not wearing a mask. Said rant being done while he himself is not wearing his mask. You really can’t make this shit up.

“To top it off, late in the day Barr asked for a 5 minute recess and Nadler said “no.” ”

SO what if AG Barr had just gotten up and left anyway, His Lowness’ Nadless permission or not? What would Nadless do, have him arrested? Cited for contempt of Kongress?

Barr should’ve quoted the immortal words of Dick Cheney to Patrick Leahy, and left.

Jerry the Hutt is a no-class, cocksucking assclown of the first degree.

It’s a total replay of the recall election of Scott Walker.
The batshit crazy left of Wisconsin was just sure that they had his recall in the bag !!!
Scott Walker won it by 8 points.
2 years later as the regular election came around, they were again assured that he would be thrown out of office and they could finally get the moron mayir of Milwaukee to be the Guv….
He won that one by something like 10 points and continued to have a solid red state government that still exists today.
The morons of Wisconsin decided they would give the libturds another chance and elected another moron libturd that is still dealing with a conservative majority in State Government.
This election is the exact same thing.
The polls on Walker all showed that he would lose in a landslide…
Uh huh…

With all this shit going on that I see on the television, I feel like going out and buying all the smallest screen cheap televisions I could afford and then when one of these demoRAT liberal peeps are on the screen, I would shoot out the screen with a BB gun but would wear goggles so I wouldn’t shoot my eye out.

That was a shit show of political posturing.
