Bessent continues his KO streak of congressional stooges

[justoffal]

Why do you think Bessent displaying a lack of character and integrity is a good look for him? He must have attended the same briefing the blonde sock puppet attended on how not to answer embarrassing questions while deflecting to another topic. He's a disgrace.

Translation: He's mopping the floor with them like crazy... Beating them at their own game....
Out " IQ'ing" like 100 to nothing and he looks great doing it

berg he is a disgrace to you because he isnt from your side of the tracks....otherwise you would be cheering him on....

Bessent is simply refusing to allow himself to be used as one of their political puppets .

None of the questions are sincere and all of them are designed to elicit politically charged answers.

Scott seems to be very good at this game..
Very good indeed.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Yeah. He blatantly dodged the direct and clear question.

I guess in MAGA world, that's a big, smart "win".

They're easily entertained.

You can tell the affirmative action Senators from the ones capable of being elected on merit

You couldn't blow your racist dog whistle any louder if you tried.

He's refusing to answer direct questions honestly............because honest answers make the regime look bad.

Were they reading from a script or not?

Is it your assertion members of Congress don't have staff prepare questions for them before testimony is given?

Look at this homophobic and sexist attacks

Some might, dems however get their questions from Jeff Epstein

 

[Blaster]

He's refusing to answer direct questions honestly.

He sure did.

 

[justoffal]

Yeah. He blatantly dodged the direct and clear question.

I guess in MAGA world, that's a big, smart "win".

He refused to play the game and be drawn into a forced statement that's all..... None of those are questions; they are accusations with question marks attached to them and Bessent knows that.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Is it your assertion members of Congress don't have staff prepare questions for them before testimony is given?

Sure, they do. But the ones who got elected through merit don't have to sit and read word-for-word to avoid going off-script. They can look at their notes and put the questions in their own words. Their notes might say "Venzualan oil funds" and they would look at Bessent and say, "what is the legal authority to hold funds from Venezualan oil?"

An AA hire would stare at the notes and read, "What. is. the. legal. aufarity. to. control. funds. that. legally. belong. to. the sobrine. nation. of. vinnie . . . suala?

It is not just about race or gender. Here is the dreaded middle-aged white male doing the same thing:



A high school kid on a debate team could do better. Easily. So this white male senator was obviously chosen by the Party for some other reason besides ability.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

The IQ mismatch is so severe that it's almost frightening.

You got that right.
Bessent, like the rest of Trump's cult, needs to borrow IQ points, just to put one foot in front of the other.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Another White Man reading every single question verbatim:



I'm sure someone at the DNC is writing the questions for every Dem Senator. It would be nightmare if each one of them relied on their staff for questions, while trying to maintain the same narrative.

I guess this guy is openly gay, or a transman? Not sure what his contribution to "diversity" is.

He probably has strong lips and soft teeth

 

[Nostra]

His scalping of E. Warren was one of the highlights of the hearing:



"Senator, it may be a bit nuanced for you . . . "

Fauxcohontas is beyond stupid.

[Seymour Flops]

Well, here is a great counter-example. A Democrat who does not read questions prepared by the DNC. He asks Bessent about concerns he has (with a little bit of over-acting) and Bessent answers respectfully..
