Cuomo, aka. “Fredo” on the Hegseth hearing…
The country’s in the very best of hands….
Meanwhile, while Cuomo is spot-on, here’s a quote from alleged conservative intellectual David Brooks, who today leveled similar criticism, but discredited himself with this:
“The hearings got better as they went along and more junior senators got to speak. Senator Mazie Hirono was excellent, asking substantive questions: If the president ordered you, would you order troops to shoot protesters in the legs? Would you follow an order to use the military for mass deportations?”
I can’t even tell if Brooks was being sarcastic; he has written so many outrageous things since his brain was surgically removed by the New York Times and replaced with a bag of Cheetohs. Sarcasm is not typically his metier. If Brooks was attempting sarcasm, he’s lousy at it: no columnist who wants to be taken seriously should ever, ever utter the words “Senator Mazie Hirono was excellent” in jest, irony, or God forbid, sincerity.
Ethics Alarms 
Well,as the adages states; “A broke clcok is right twice a day” or “Even a blind squirel finds a nut now and then>”
He sure does make sense!
He’s smart! He’s not dumb like everybody says! He’s smart and he wants respect!
You could’ve knocked me over with a feather after watching that.
Wait, maybe Cuomo has been assimilated by one of those lizard men.
Maybe Cuomo was possessed by Pazuzu’s evil twin — two evils make a good, right?
The other thing I will say, after reading the last few posts: Bless you, Jack, for watching these hearings so I don’t have to put myself through it. You, sir, are a saint.
I will say that I saw a few clips of Pam Bondi’s hearing earlier tonight and they were much more interesting (not sure if they were more substantive though). I do also find it infuriating when Senators or Representatives ask a question and then either don’t allow the witness to answer or talk over her when she’s responding.
They use the questions to state their position, no answer is necessary or expected. They just want to make noise, get some headlines, and stir up their base. Regardless of the questions, and its preamble, nothing the nominee says in the way of response will change the congresscritter’s position on the matter.
The people yelling at Trump’s nominees were, ust 4 years ago, very pleased with Biden’s choices. And Biden’s cabinet and advisers looked like a casting call for a carnival sideshow.
And in many cases included people who were complete unqualified, like Mayor Pete in Transportation.
Brooks wasn’t being sarcastic he was ridiculing Hegseth by calling him a populist poseur who is not a serious thinker. The entire thrust is that Hegseth was a master of getting social issuesto go viral but little else. He told Dems to focus on Trumpian incompetence.
What Brooks does not explain is why our current leadership is not focused on multi front wars or China’s military buildup. Nor does he even mention Lloyd Austin’s missing in action or AWOL behavior last year. Brooks is no serious thinker because the only reason he critiques Hegseth is because he is on Trump team and has already been softened up by other media’s attempt to portray him as a drunken womanizer.
I’m guessing Chris is getting some traction on trying to rehabilitate himself and his brother. I just don’t think Andrew is going to be able to successfully run for Mayor of New York City. I think he’s a dead man walking politically due to his sending Wuhan flu sufferers into nursing homes, which is both inexplicable and unforgivable.
Chris Cuomo making valid ethics points and the Detroit Lions could win the Superbowl. Has anyone look in Revelation lately…
