If those assholes were less deserving of being skewered by Rep. Porter, I would say Congress should enact a mercy rule for her; but nope. These scum have earned every bit of scorn from her and all of America.

1. Katie Porter

Never backs down and always brings receipts.

[Champp]

2. Wow! Thank you a thousandfold Rep. Porter

K and R.

3. She's amazing.

I hope she becomes one of our women presidents in the not too distant future.

[womanofthehills]

9. That's exactly what I was thinking

She would make a fantastic President.

[whathehell]

18. Oh yes, absolutely..

She fears no one.

[gratuitous]

4. There's a reason you don't see her on the cable shows

And it's because she knows her onions. Or in this case, rice.

I imagine someone standing behind the webcams for the oil lobbyists holding up placards:

"Remember, you get paid a LOT of money"

"That nice tailored suit you're wearing will become your own expense if you blow up"

"There's a nice bottle of scotch in the lower right drawer for you when the camera goes off"

5. Lawrence has her often

I think he has a LARGE crush on her. Very large.

[TNNurse]

6. I a heterosexual woman of 72 love her with all my heart.

How's it going?

[OnDoutside]

20. Hey whathehell !

Going good, thanks, and yourself ?

We have about 3 weeks left of a complete remodeling of our house, so looking forward to a dust free house

[whathehell]

22. Glad to hear it.

..Are you still with that pharmaceutical company you had just signed with last we spoke?
Mark and I are doing pretty well, thanks..Struggling, like everyone, with this damned pandemic..Sometimes it feels like a freaking.Plague. Good luck with your remodeling..We have a dusty house too, though its not due, unfortunately, from re-modeling.

[OnDoutside]

23. We know that dust too !

Actually one of the additions we are getting is a mechanical heat recovery ventilation unit, which supposedly helps remove dust...I'll look forward to that !!!

Yes I'm still at that pharma company now, two and a half years. Because of Covid I've gone from 98% from home to 100%, and it's really flexible, so couldn't be better.

[whathehell]

24. Lol..Nice to know we're not alone there!

..We'll definitely be looking into that mechanical heat recovery thingy.

Glad to hear you're still with the company and doing well..Hope this miserable lockdown ends sooner in Ireland than it seems to be ending here. Take care,

[OnDoutside]

25. Yes, I've had a number of recommendations about it.

We've opened up but the Christmas period will tell a lot.

[whathehell]

14. Are you implying that most, if not all of the congress men and women

are corporate sell outs?...

I'd say that implication is quite false and unfair

[gratuitous]

15. No, what I'm saying

What I'm saying is that most of the congressmen and women aren't nearly as knowledgeable and thorough as Rep. Porter. She stays on point, doesn't get distracted, and has little tolerance for obfuscation.

[whathehell]

16. Okay, I understand now...

You may well be right..Like her mentor, Liz Warren, she IS very impressive..I love both of them.

[paleotn]

7. She's like Paski with a white board....

We have such talent on our side of the aisle.

[Delphinus]

10. And why

doesn't that make a difference to the other side? Why can't they see truth and smarts?

[HUAJIAO]

13. They do see it. They just don't give a shit.

Well, the politicians, I mean. The general public is too fucking stupid...

[Wild blueberry]

8. Katie Porter is a national treasure

Every time I think I love her as much as I possibly can, she proves I can love her Even MORE! And all Respect!
Pro Tip for industry flacks: whenever she asks you a question, she knows the answer.

[Uncle Joe]

11. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread LonePirate.

[NoMoreRepugs]

12. Rep. Katie Porter is as fine a public servant as there is America today IMO.
