After the 11 hour Benghazi committee: Republicans, get your shit together

Not open for further replies.
I haven't been this embarrassed for our nation since the Bush presidency. Remember? The dude who directly caused hundreds of thousands of deaths with zero justification? I can't remember which party he represented but I remember the 11 hour grilling he got on the hill for those allegations.
 
Are there any polls indicating to what degree the general public feels that Benghazi is an important matter?

I'm tired of this always happening. Of course the Benghazi attack is an important matter. An American diplomat and several others were killed. There's no question that it was important.

The only space for disagreement is around the question "did the administration mishandle the situation before or after the attack". Since every investigation has answered that question "no" it's baffling that they're still doing these committees.
 
I usually wait until the nominee has been decided, but I just donated to Clinton's campaign. After what she pulled off tonight, I have zero doubts that we're looking at the next President.
 
All the while though, I'm sure Bill (who was obviously watching the hearing too) was probably slowly but surely getting pissed off at each and every GOP member on that committee who was disrespecting her like that.
 
literally joke party

lol @ anyone voting republican

even if you support one part of it or "just the fiscal ideas", stay home instead of supporting all the other bs

Even their "fiscal conservatism" is a joke.

They love spending tax payer dollars -- they'd just rather spend it on funding the military industrial complex and on corporate welfare.

Two trillion dollar wars and deficits created by tax cuts should be pretty good evidence that these "conservatives" are anything but fiscally conservative.
 
So did she finally confess her crimes or what.
Now now, lets not be so hasty in rushing through this sober process.

We haven't yet completed the trial-by-drowning phase of the proceedings, so there are still some unexplored avenues for further investigation.

...

But seriously, how many millions of tax payer dollars has been spent on this over and beyond any rational investigation? Somebody needs to whip up a chart contrasting that dollar amount to how much Planned Parenthood receives in funding, preferably using a Fox News/Polygon style unskewed diagram.
 
The hottest politician on the planet.

Nah, bro.

Shit, the fact that she could sit through this farce for 11 hours just further convinces me that she's qualified to be president.

That's an impressive amount of patience.
 
No new information, no new questions, no new issues, just the same old talking points ad nauseum for 11 hours. No one was even able to articulate what kind of specific information or knowledge that still needed to be discovered, it was just generic appeals to not knowing the full truth. What exactly remains unknown? At least when arguing about police shootings or stuff like that they have a specific list of crap they appeal to in referencing 'wanting to know all the facts' before making a decision.
 
It's a loop now, these fools who eat it up will always say "well, just because there is no evidence now does not mean they will not find any later WAKE UP LIBARTADS!" They just waiting when the reveal finally comes out and they are vindicated.

Oh, I'm already seeing that on my Facebook feed. Lots of "oh, she's already paid off and silenced everybody, so of course they're not going to find anything".
 
I turned on the news station while on my lunch break @ 7:45pm, it was still going on, at first I thought they were replaying highlights.

and I know many hates Boehner(I thought for a Republican, Speaker of the House, he was quite good), but he thought this whole thing was stupid. Its going to turn out he was right.
 
Vote republican but get mad when people make fun of actual shit the republican party does...like this.

Talk about being "fiscally conservative", but vote for the party that just wasted millions on this.

It was a serious tragedy but importance is relative. Its a valid question. With the myriad of issues this country is facing, at this point of 2015 is what happened at benghazi worth $4.5m worth of research? And is this committee of congressmen really earning their ridiculous salary by focusing on this circus when we fail so regularly at getting meaningful legislation passed in a timely manner?

I see nothing wrong with Dennis' question.
 
At this point are they just hoping for an exasperated outburst so they can paint her as a shrill, defensive, Harpy?

I know after 11 hours my normally calm demeanor would give way to some profanity and sarcasm.
 
Absolutely insane. It's fun watching the GOP implode on itself. If only dems could get a good turnout in the midterm elections we could finally get these assclowns out of office.

Why does Cobert have to be on break this week? At least TDS went in hardcore on the clownshow.
 
After the 11 waste of time: Republicans, go away. Just go away. You are not fit for office

Yeah that would be nice.

Colbert/Stewart were always on break when anything amazing happened, Colbert's just continuing the tradition.
 
The funniest thing to me is the absolute 'best' piece of dirt they had after ten hours of drilling was the coughing incident?

Literally, that's the headline in the Drudge Report. I'm laughing my ass off over here.
 
Clinton has been through endless abuse throughout her career that makes Gamergate look like pikers. It's no wonder she outlasted this ridiculous kangaroo court. She's got real presidential steel in her spine.

Hey, Gowdy and pals, thanks for the boost in Dem donations and turnout! ;D

This was my biggest takeaway from this whole circus. I wasn't sure about Hilary being Presidential material. After today, all doubt has been cleared. She has my vote.
