After watching Adam Schiff grill Pam Bondi, I no longer wanted to watch the questioning of the nominees - so completely rude and as you said, you learn nothing. I agree that there is a better way. We don’t need theatrical performances.
What is interesting to see, is just how low IQ all these Senators are, they have big staffs, that do all their home work, then they show up scripted and the staff again does all their heavy lifting and half the time the grand inquisitors can’t even properly read from their briefing books. Talk about a job from Hell, staffer for one of these goofballs and that goes for both sides of the aisle. At one point or another every time a certain camera angle would pop up, you would see Senator Foghorn Leghorn blathering on and another of the 100 club sitting next to them obviously texting or reading from their IPhone. Dumb, rude, ignorant. Demanding attention, fawning attention no less. Oh Senator Warren you’re the best person to get me a beer with! Oh Senator Whitehouse can’t wait for summerahh when we can all go swimming at your private beach club aka Spouting Rock Beach Association, thank goodness it is a whites only club and you better bleed blue blood. Sure they are of and for the people. As a veteran, makes me wonder why I bothered, I heard my Country calling, should have ignored the siren sounds. Oh well, Odysseus learned a lot along the way, maybe there is hope for us all. Good luck to all the nominees, why anyone would waste their time at this point remains one of life’s mystery’s.
NYT is a classic example of Yellow Journalism. Pure garbage. I watched the RFK so-called Interviews....more like vicious statements and political grandstanding ending at the end with a question mark. Today Democrats proved that they prefer chemicals, harmful dies and poisons in their food. Good luck next election. It was a shameful display of idiocy on the part of Democrats. The reason why they lost the last election was on full display today, and they kept doubling down on their all failed strategies....talk about conspiracy theories. Great show today, 100% correct! and very entertaining. Thanks for the gossip...lol
The issue is two polar opposites; the concept of ethics and the podcast "Dershow". The starting point is Dershowitz's primary loyalty neither to America or American values but to his activity as a generic foreign agent with primary loyalty to Israel and Israeli ideology. The ethical problems are that 1) he regularly misrepresents truth and objective reality ( like his mantra "IDF is the most moral army in the world") 2) while taking advantage of listeners' trust and pushing them towards his chosen narrative/agenda with one-sided cherry plucked arguments,sometimes substantially fictional, and omitting critical facts not compatible with the narrative/agenda. A scary example is his constant warmongering for American war with Iran. This is clearly not in the American national interest, particularly given that America has failed to win in successive wars against Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan despite heavy economic engagement that has resulted in near bankruptcy. Ethics are a set of moral principles and values focusing on truthfulness, fairness and social responsibility. Of course, how natural is it to expect voluntary compliance with ethical standards from Dershowitz who has been closely associated with befriending,protecting and enabling the nefarious Jeffrey Epstein who had the same primary loyalties.
Modern American values are fundamentally different from Israeli. A core value of American values is human equality, totally absent from Zionist ideology and Israeli administration in practice, clear indisputable evidence now being the 2018 Jewish Supremacy Law enacted by the Knesset. Arguably this lack of human equality in Judaism was central in causing the schism between Early Christians and Jews. The Christians objected to discrimination against their Gentile converts. The Christian focus on human equality as a core value evolved into a universal human rights agenda, including International Humanitarian Law (ratified by Israel in 1948 but constantly violated) and the Genocide Convention which both the IDF and the Government of Israel routinely ignore.
The problem of primary loyalty to a foreign government and ideology may be the greatest current threat to America today. America had this problem before, with domestic communists who aimed to support their ideology by infiltrating government and media while propagandizing like Dershowitz characteristically does for Zionism. Because of people with the foreign primary loyalties, the USA has enabled and materially been complicit with the Gaza Genocide under the Biden Administration. And the irony is that despite at least a hundred billion dollars worth of donated bombs/weapons from America, the IDF war against Gaza civilians and civilian infrastructure did not attain the political goal of extermination of Hamas, which shows itself alive well and still in control- - -despite the indiscriminate slaughter and mutilation of many tens of thousands of children (half of Gaza's population) and other non-combatants. Israel's war was really against the International Human Rights Agenda. As with Jeffrey Epstein, Dershowitz acted loyally to Israel to protect and enable this immorality
RFK Jr. was superb. Win, lose or draw (it won't be draw, of course), he displayed intelligence and integrity while the 'gotcha' Dems could not restrain themselves from their tawdry tricks.
I’m very sure that if Bobby Kennedy wasn’t working with Trump, but with the democrats, his family would say little about his credentials. The label of democrat is valued far above family ties!

Professor: thanks for your analysis of today’s embarrassing spectacle. Much respect, sir

RFK! We need him!

Watched and enjoyed the humor as well as the sobriety.

Thank you
Where have you been? I stopped reading the Times decades ago!!
I’m very sure that if Bobby Kennedy wasn’t working with Trump, but with the democrats, his family would say little about his credentials. The label of democrat is valued far above family ties!
Appreciate and Value your first-hand perspectives
I don’t always comment on subjects I agree I am hoping we learn and improve as a nation as a species

Very few will take the time to read your endless ranting. Please, brevity is poignant. No blustering, please
