What was the reason

[itcfish]

For that stupid question to John Dean about Medicare for all? Don't remember if was Gym Jordan or the guy from Florida, Matt Gaetz. What does it have to do with the Trump crimes?

1. It was Gaetz - trying to show how surreal he found the hearing, or some such thing.

[Siwsan]

2. What was the reason for MOST of their spittle infused ranting? Deflection and more deflection?

Honestly, the behavior of those on the other side of the aisle was insane, yesterday. Pure performance art, for an audience of one.

3. It was Gaetz from FL

He was trying to claim that Dean didn't actually know anything that was relevant to the Mueller report.

"I figured if we were going to ask you about stuff you don't know about, we'd start with the big stuff," Gaetz said. "So, do you know how they plan to pay for Medicare-for-all?"

4. I kind of liked when he said, "Nixon had a health plan."

Note: Nixon DID have a health plan.

6. THAT was worth my watching a few minutes here and there.

I do not have the stomach to watch those traitorous bastards making asses of themselves, insult human beings and the US of A.

7. It was to the left of the ACA, and Democrats told Ted Kennedy

"Single payer or nothing."

Ted walked away, and said it was one of the biggest regrets of his career, because if they had started even from Nixon's plan then, we might have something close, or at least way closer, to universal health care now.

8. That was awesome!

Some people are question why the Democrats called John Dean to testify, suggesting he's an irrelevant has-been.

But in the political space he's a "draw" and he obviously is quick and thorough. I can't imagine too many other people with his substance and depth who would have managed to be talked about this much in the 24 hours after his testimony.

9. Plus, Dean doesn't have a lot to lose any more...

Not much reason for him to hold anything back.

[StarfishSaver]

10. In other words, he's completely out of f*cks, you say?

[Wounded Bear]

11. One way to put it...

[rurallib]

5. right wing satire - stinks, don't it?

12. Dean had a great answer! "Nixon had a health care, too"!
