Unfortunately, confirmation hearings have become venues for Senators to conduct performance art; rather than hearings being about vetting appointees, Senators use the opportunity to strut and preen and show their supposed superior intelligence.

Listening to the likes of Tim Kaine, Mazie Hirono, and Adam Schiff - some of the dumbest, least accomplished people on the planet - put on their airs of moral and intellectual superiority makes me want to retch.

Just so. And I would add some of the biggest liars, particularly Schiff.

Tim Kaine likely had in the wings Democrats go-to accuser of the day Christine Blasey Ford, to testify she had been married to Hegseth, and he did abuse her while Justice Kavanaugh watched.

You must have broken the code to their secret playbook.

Sir, Dan Bongino has just announced legitimate sources with information about Kaine and some very young *nephews* who spent the night in a hotel room with him. He wants us to respectfully contact Kaine and ask him to comment.

Bravo, Bravo Blue! Your essay is the very best disquisition on "hypocrisy" that I can recall having ever read. Of course, hypocrisy is inseparable from cowardice, and hypocrisy cannot exist without complete lack of integrity. Senator Kaine exhibits these deplorable traits. I recall that word "deplorable" being used by another Democrat. Sadly, the once honored Democrat party is exhibiting the traits that Senator Kaine is showing us.

" Just read the history of Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing if you doubt that this is their playbook."

But didn't you hear? They're sorry about how they treated Kavanaugh now.

This is the same carbon unit that stated Slavery began in America. Please take a moment and leave him a note on his Senate website. I said the following:

"I am deeply disappointed and disgusted by the line of questioning directed at Pete Hegseth during today's Senate confirmation hearings. Witnessing what should be a platform for constructive dialogue and assessment devolve into unnecessary attacks and distractions is disheartening. Our leaders owe it to the American people to focus on qualifications and substantive issues rather than engaging in divisive rhetoric. We deserve better."
