Would it be too much to ask for the opportunity to treat him like a real piñata?

I wonder if they should have asked “if President Obama declared executive privilege against anyone testifying on Benghazi, would you have then ignored the issue? Or would you have taken that as an admission of guilt?”

The right would take this exact same clip and flip the headline. People gonna see what they want to see, I guess.

Gaetz: “… you guys need January 6th so bad.”
The Dems needed it? The Dems?! If I was close enough, I would have spat right in his face for that.

I was hoping for the same.
Politicians shouting over each other, nothing getting accomplished, and each side getting to show off for their own social media and blogosphere bubbles is entirely inane to me.
My otherwise intelligent, liberal, 74-year-old dad is now watching hours of this shit on YouTube every day. I really don’t care anymore who “destroyed” who in a shouty-match made for TV.
Wake me up when the perv gets actually indicted or arrested.

This is a good example of the kind of questioning that plays well for the cameras and the public but probably isn’t the most effective way to build a legal case. They didn’t call Gaetz in front of the committee because they expect him to provide useful information, they called him in because Gaetz is a disgusting piece of human garbage who makes for a nice punching bag.
If this was a court of law instead of a congressional proceeding then the smart thing to do would have been to let Gaetz speak since he’d be bound to incriminate and/or perjure himself within minutes.

Why isn’t Matt Gaetz in prison? The GOV needs more evidence? It’s fucking ridiculous that this pos is out among the general population…

He may not be wrong. Absent any substantial legislation that improves things for the 99%, which the GQP is blocking at every step, Jan. 6 could be the only differentiator to too many voters. In a way, he is telling everyone what the Democrats need to do and that the GQP is going to obstruct it as much as possible.

Both sides think they won…we all fucking lost
edit - This is not a good people on both sides argument, but a “our government is broken” one

The Jan 6th optics are already set.
I think what Gaetz is saying is that the Dems want a knock out punch and the GQP are going to effectively side step it every time. And unfortunately he is probably correct, this is now more of a show than an investigation.
