BREAKING: CA Senator Detained After Storming Noem News Conference

[cnm]

So? Is she supposed to recognize him? And if so why?

Only if she is competent in her job.

Because he has oversight of elements of her job.

Because he has been a senator for 4 years.

edit...but that is only in the real world, granted. In MAGA world she is required to recognise only Chump.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Suppose - counterfactually - that everyone in the room knew that it was Senator Padilla disrupting the Secretary of Homeland Security's remarks before the opportunity to ask questions. Would she be required to say, "wait, this is Senator Padilla! He is allowed to disrupt my comments instead of waiting to be called on like everyone else who wants to ask questions!"

Of course not. Padilla can wait his turn to be called on. That turn might not come, since a presser is for the press, not for opposition party hacks to ask "gotcha" quesions.

He had his chance at her confirmation hearing.

You don't think Commander Cosplay is making a spectacle of herself?

The Secretary is doing her job, while low brow liberal legislators are behaving like children.

Only if she is competent in her job.

Because he has oversight of elements of her job.

Because he has been a senator for 4 years.

So what? Obviously he hasn’t made an impression. And four years in nobody else knows who the **** he is either. Just taking up space doesn’t mean anyone should ******* care who you are.

 

[Blisterfinger]

Now you are a mind reader? People can now be arrested because they "might" disrupt a press conference?

What happened to him was wrong, pure and simple. And you know it. You people are just flat out ******* evil.

There's a new sheriff in town. New rules too. Get used to it

 

[mudwhistle]

Since that didn't happen, try telling that lie elsewhere. And he does have the right because she answers to him. The Senate has oversight of the executive.

You talk about separation of powers....yet you turn around and claim this Senator has the right to order around a member of Trump's Cabinet.

They have oversight only. They don't have control of them. They can't even tell them what to do.

You enthusiastically support a Nazi president who tried to kill his own Vice President on Jan 6. How fucked up is that?

You are ******* sick in the head, dude. Your opinion means exactly jack and shit.

 

[IM2]

Only an idiot like you would vote for someone because of a stunt like Padilla put on, IM2!

And if you'd punched security I'm pretty sure they would have taken you down hard. The FBI were doing their jobs. So was the Secret Service detail. Padilla knew exactly what their response would be when he tried to charge the stage. Anyone who works in Washington, in the Government, understands how security details function.

Only an idiot ike you would take the side of Noem and claim this was a stunt. I would be a US Senator, and the FBI would answer to me. The Secret Service would answer to me. So does the DHS secretary. Padilla told them he was a senator, and after he said that, the FBI had no further business bothering him. Padi didn't try to charge the stage, stop repeating Noem's lies.

 

[mudwhistle]

Doubtful that Thune know why Padilla was such an asshole.

Well Raskin isn't exactly a reasonable person.

I think he's a corrupt asshole involved in several criminal conspiracies.

He gives Jews a bad name.

 

[IM2]

They answer to the senator. Period. The Senate is equal in power with the President.

 

[mudwhistle]

But…but…but…
You don’t see it wishfully enough

If anyone's seen a Lakers game they know what faking an injury is like.
Lebron James should be playing soccer, not basketball.
And that's pretty much all this crapola is about.

Democrats are looking for the next George Floyd.

If you think the Secret Service would answer to you because you were a US Senator you're delusional. Their job was to protect the Homeland Security Secretary. They did that job. They removed an idiot. Determined who he was and released him. Of course it was a stunt. Or did you not notice all of his aides getting the putting of the handcuffs on, on their cell phones? Padilla knew exactly what was going to happen to him. It's why he only identified himself as they were pushing him out of the room. He wanted to be arrested just as the Mayor of that city in New Jersey wanted to be arrested. It's all a big show for the Democrats. All show...no substance!

 

[Man With A Plan]

They answer to the senator. Period. The Senate is equal in power with the President.

Congress is equal to the President in power. Which is why it's bad form for a Senator to try and shout over a Cabinet Secretary giving a press conference. Oversight doesn't mean you get to be an asshole...something that Democrats are going to have to learn the hard way.

 

[WEATHER53]

He barged in after the event started, demanded to be catered to, and was removed.

I have found you to be a liar. Typical Democrat who has no meaning. The Definition of fucked up.

No, I'm not delusional. He announced himself and that should have been it. The FBI also protects senators. You have chosen to believe lies. That's all you MAGATS do. This is on video son, so just stop thinking y u can repeat the lie.

 

[IM2]

He barged in after the event started, demanded to be catered to, and was removed.

Another lie.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

The Jan 6 traitors who chanted "Hang Mike Pence" were also lying?

Your shit is so weak, mentally ill MAGA dude.
