Did I just hear someone call Jack Smith a dirtbag in the Blanche hearing?

[LuckyCharms]

Surely he said something else, and I misheard.

Right?

Serious question....I thought I heard that...not watching, just listening...

[mahatmakanejeeves]

1. You heard right. Schmitt. NT

[LuckyCharms]

2. Damn...

[lastlib]

20. Schmitt-for-Brains---he's not my senator.....

he's just the douchenozzle my state elected to be one. I am SO SORRY, America!

[appmanga]

3. Asshat Eric Schmitt...

...who got to do the fellating attack-dog bit.

[Attilatheblond]

4. Does he need a pardon for something?

Maybe some investigative journalists could check?

[TommyT139]

9. First time I've heard of him, but

...I got the vibe of "on deck for when some committee seats lack asses."

"Pick me! Pick me!!" will be a familiar refrain, and we should especially watch what those ones do in the shadows.

12. Eric Schmitt supports national conservative positions. Speaking at the 2025 National Conservatism Conference, Schmitt

said, "National conservatism is an idea whose time has arrived".

In his speech, he criticized the belief that the United States is defined by a shared set of values and principles. Instead, he argued that it is a nation built by settlers as a homeland for themselves and their descendants.

Schmitt said, "we Americans are sons and daughters of the Christian Pilgrims that poured out from Europe's shores to baptize a new world in their ancient faith" and "America belongs to us, and only us".

14. His 'Christian Pilgrims' were control freaks who wouldn't accept they lost a civil war in England

and didn't get to boss everybody around, so they left.

Hey, that reminds me of another group or two in our history.

5. I heard something about "Soros funded blah blah blah..."

I'm all asses and elbows in paperwork here, so I didn't turn around to see who it was...but I just thought "Who the fuck is this talking".

I hope a Democratic representative takes the gloves off today in the hearing. It's clobbering time.

[hookaleft]

6. Say it to his face

shit-weasel

[LuckyCharms]

8. That's the thing.

Isn't Smith an "Iron man"?

I love how these repub assholes gape open their pieholes when there are no ramifications.

Fucking weak cowards.

[appmanga]

13. Pay my fare to D.C., putz.

And you aren't scary, either.

[Chasstev365]

7. Did Democrats hammer him for it or let it go?

[LuckyCharms]

10. Did not hear any rebuttal to those specific comments.

[WorseDayEver]

11. When they get caught. They always go out with slurs.

[Jilly_in_VA]

15. Them's fight' words!

Wanna say it to his face?

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. Them's fightin' words!!!!

Schmitt obviously is a scumbag of the lowest order. I bet that Jack Smith is an Eagle Scout, not a lying puke.

[LuckyCharms]

17. As per Google:

"Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is a highly accomplished triathlete known for competing in over 100 triathlons and at least nine full Ironman competitions globally. An Ironman is an ultra-distance event that consists of a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile marathon".

It goes on to say that Smith could not even swim one pool length until his mid 30's.

As a former dedicated runner, I cannot even imagine how Smith had the mental fortitude and discipline to perform his physical accomplishments. It's truly mind-boggling.

Couple that mental discipline with his undisputable ethics, and then to have someone call him a dirtbag...

Those are indeed fighting words!

[greatauntoftriplets]

18. Becoming an Ironman is impressive.

I'm a member of the Jack Smith Fan Club, and have the baseball cap to prove it.

Don't know if he'll ever write a tell-all book, but it could be called "Life With a Spine". I'd read it.

21. Where's my barf bag???

The onscreen appearance by Ted Cruz questioning Blanche makes me want to throw up...
