(205,237 posts)How she kept her composure was a mystery to me - I tuned in late, spent time in the dentist's chair today which didn't help how I felt, but the words I had for Hawley, Cotton - and finally Blackburn - were what they actually deserved for their disrespectful and inappropriate questions.

(205,237 posts)It was less stressful to watch detectives dealing with homicides on another channel. But then Tom Cotton came on and he was arguably worse. Dr. Alan Chartock who appears on the news and has a radio show here can't stand to use his name, refers to him as "Bates Motel..."

(205,237 posts)Yikes! And Tom Cotton creeped me out all on his own - and I remembered the letter he penned to Iran which was not only a breach of protocol, but a possible violation of the Logan Act which prohibits Americans from interfering in U.S. foreign policy. Nixon did the same thing during the Vietnam War to stall LBJ's peace talks - hoping for a Republican win in 1968 - prolonging that deadly war for another 7 years (though we didn't find that out until 50 years later).
Bates Motel... It's perfect!

(32,634 posts)Not only has she given correct answers, has she shown patience with these evil Repukes and their stupid grandstanding. I believe she has been well-coached, and she had a good idea what to expect going in to this hearing.
She'll pass with flying colors.
