Janai Nelson speaks the unmistakable truth. The argumentative bozos are just making themselves look bad. Nothing new.

2. Oh, I agree, they were an uninformed cringeworthy embarrassment

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.

We probably shouldn't be giving them the attention. Whatever crap they try to pull is just them digging their own graves. She just so out classes them all by light-years. ❤

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..."

8. That was my first thought when Hawley started talking abut his kids - during the child porn discussion

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!

9. Judge Jackson has been amazing, bright and extremely poised

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.
