  1. grown men with too much power ,acting like bad children .this is now normal for racist republicans

  2. Durbin is an integral part of the Democratic failure in the state of ILLINOIS and CHICAGO !

  3. Bad pick fir supreme court

  4. Durbin is horrible. What a rude man, and so obstinate and arrogant. He made my mouth drop at how rude he was to our senators, just because they are Republican. What a jerk.

  5. He's right all this is being pushed by Qanon.

  6. It's legal eagle or legal beagle, it's not legal fecal !!!

  7. I remember when NBC endorsed Jussie Smollett and said Hunter's laptop was "Russian misinformation"

  8. Congress is a FAILURE PERIOD! .. Biden just needs to install Ketanji Jackson to the Supreme Court position without the Judicial Committees input! They have PROVEN themselves to be rude, arrogant playground bullies! Most of all, this committee has PROVEN that they are racists and incompetent! They have displayed their permission slip to the pathway to America's decline and values. They are a pure disgrace! – Biden should have rescheduled his itinerary to Poland to make his presence be seen and felt at this disgraceful hearing! He should have stopped the hearing, and announced that HE would install Ketanji to the Supreme court on his own!

  9. A few points here, America CAN actually supply the world with oil with just a decision to open fracking and pipelines. On a different note Now is the time to short PDD! Alot of traps right now. One play is shorting PDD after it ran over 35% up in 2 days, to high for a chinses company while china is supporting russia. Hold short to 40.00 and under. Its being pumped from somewhere outside the U.S. it apears.

  10. Better questions than what brett kavanaugh was asked about.

  11. The republican party has never look more foolish than when Ted Cruz brought up Racist Babies. Doesn't he have a snowstorm to run away from?

  12. These are softball questions.

    Democrats forget about the sham circus they forced kavanaugh through

  13. When Ukraine and Russia were at war, Biden asked Putin of Russia to negotiate nuclear negotiations with Iran on behalf of the United States. Why? And China is also involved. Will the world now, while showing solidarity with Ukraine, discover that this war is basically a drama directed and performed by Russia, China, Ukraine, and Iran? Eliminate the population on the one hand, earn war money on the one hand, and launder money in nuclear negotiations on the other? The world should think about it. Is the Biden administration the initiator of this war? Who has seen the ambiguous relationship between the US Biden administration and China, Iran, Ukraine and Russia? Should America trust it?

  14. Affirmative action at it’s finest! She got into college and the SCOTUS because of her skin color.

  15. Shout out to George Floyd on 667 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!

  16. She is not a good pick for the Supreme Court!!

  17. this stupid this woman obviously is evil

  18. perhaps if she were…
    a sexually assaulting frat boy…
    that likes and very often with friends drinks beer…
    the good ol' boys in the GOP would feel more akin to her…
    and less threatened by her…

  19. Republican Senator Tillis of North Carolina sure likes to talk about himself!! 😅
