  1. Why is she literally Valentina Allegra from Marvel

  3. Why is Cornyn asking the same questions? Is it supposed to be a trick question or something?

  4. I still can’t believe we’re going to put an easily verifiable Russian asset as directory of national intelligence. Of all positions, of all people…

    ugh.

  5. They were not interested in your takeaways because you are entirely unqualified to make any informed presentations and they know you are biased by your Russian influence.

  6. Woah I didn’t know that Dennis Kucinich was over there too – remember him?

  8. I don’t hate her as much as I hate the others. Admitting that Putin started the war on Ukraine was good.

  9. I feel like democrats are just trying to get sound bites for the news. She’s steamrolling through this.

  10. I’m shocked they’re focusing on Snowden so hard. Where are the questions about her ties to foreign adversaries?

  11. Genuine question – Why are they focusing so much on Snowden?

  12. The public opinion on Snowden is completely different than this panel.

  14. There’s a lot to unpack in “children’s cries are answered prayers”

  15. I hate that the plane crash is going to draw attention away from all the heinous nominees they’re trying to get through: Gabbard, Patel, Vought.

    Vought in particular helped engineer all the chaos of the funding freeze and is probably still on track to get 53 Republican votes while no one’s paying attention.

  16. Snowden: ” It’s okay, just say it if it will get you in”

  19. Yeah the massive intelligence failure in 9/11 was electing bush.

  20. The legacy of Snowden, to me, is clear.

    We would not know about the scope of domestic communications collection via PRISM without Edward Snowden’s release of information to journalists.

  21. Snowden & Assange tried to save America too bad Bill Barr locked him up 🫡

  22. “I don’t believe for a second that President Trump would ask me to do anything that would break the law.”

    Literally lol.

  24. That lady behind Augus King looks blitzed. Messy hair, glazed & watery eyes, dead, soulless stare, keeps rubbing her nose.. 😂

  25. It’s one thing to get Republicans for your cabinet. Fine, you won – pick Republicans, but it’s the absolute lack of quality candidates for the cabinet I cannot get over. Really Donald? These people are the best you can do?

  26. Why haven’t there been more questions about her pro-Russia views?
