If he were an outlier, it would be something funny but the issue is rhe staggering number of the pieces of shit.

Yeah, if the members of congress had any principles none of them would have ever voted in any members who couldn’t answer basic questions in the cabinet positions.
This guy seems to think he’s Göring in the movie version of Nuremberg. No matter what he admits to, can’t say that Hitler was wrong, so he would do it again.

Well, it is the US.

Isn’t it humiliating to be unable to answer this basic question
His delivery really nails him.

If it’s really a job interview then why didn’t the guy move on to the next candidate
BigBenis@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Because half the hiring committee sees nothing wrong with this man’s behavior.
P1nkman@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That means half the committee should be on the list.

Kind of annoying that they don’t ask them who won in 2024 or 2016 too. Or first. Or a really old one like Reagan.
tanisnikana@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yeah, ‘16 and ‘24 aren’t really contested in Trump’s mind because Trump won those (maybe; lawsuits are pending, etc) but the ‘20 election is contentious for fascist fucks everywhere.
Piatro@programming.dev 3 weeks ago
Yeah but from an interviewing perspective it’s a win-win. Either the guy answers the question for those elections more clearly, showing that he only has a problem answering the one about 2020 and therefore clearly doing it because of the orange man, or he still refuses and he looks like he can’t answer simple questions.

He didn’t win the popular vote in 2016, which is hilarious.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
because they know they cheated in 2020, and still lost, projection all around.

These people are disconnected from reality and need real psychological help. In the meantime, this behavior is not acceptable for anyone in any kind of official position. Hell, this amount of deflection wouldn’t even be acceptable if he were trying to be a fucking barista.
No offense at all meant to baristas. You have likely worked harder than this clown ever will.
iamthetot@piefed.ca 3 weeks ago
They’re not disconnected from reality. They are liars, cheaters, thieves, and crooks.
bleustenns@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
I’d actually like to disagree that they’re disconnected from reality. This is about as realistic as things can get in politics… :(

Pathetic. My last shit had more integrity, and I have diarrhea.

Love the questioning. I was hoping for a dismissive “ok we’ll call you back”.

Dems only have to turn two Republicans + Sinema, seeing as Graham is dead and McConnell is incapacitated. I think it’s possible.

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
Yes, it should. The MAGA-style McCarthy hearings finally ended when one defendant hollered
“Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?”
It resonated with both the government, and the American people, and it ended McCarthy’s power instantly.
I’m not sure it’s possible to stop MAGA in its tracks with one sentence, but statements like this, strong challenges that make EVERY newscast, go a long ways in giving struggling MAGAs a strong dose of second-hand cringe. The first step in converting them will be making them embarrassed to be associated with those MAGA losers, and a constant stream of clips like this will do that.
We need a lot more condescending “Bless your hearts” from Democrats, until the MAGAs feel like retards, and run away.

If I answered a question like that in an interview for a job at McDonalds, I’d be laughed right the fuck out of the room. This should be instantly disqualifying, but in this admin, brazen dishonesty and cronyism is a must have.

That’s one of the most frustrating parts about all this, so few people are rational, so few people have standards or honor.

It should be allowed to demand a duel if someone dissembles and refuses to answer questions in situations like this.
orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
In other administrations, too. The definition of truth belongs to the majority holder.
If the opposition to the GOP do not get a majority, and really a super-majority is what’s truly needed… If that doesn’t happen, there’s no salvation for the United States.
I’d argue that it’s been gone for a while, but I simply cannot give up yet.

For there to be a real path out of this they need to be willing to strike a stake into the heart of the republican vampire party:
Additionally like 3 of the following:

Either way you’re fucked. Both parties want to continue burning fossil fuels and both parties are blatently beholden to Israel’s suicidal assault on the world.

The very fact that he is so rude and not forthright, is because he knows it doesn’t matter. This is all formality. His position has been filled, by himself.
themaninblack@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s similar to a question that doctors will ask you in the emergency department: “who is the president?”
Alongside questions like what “year is it?”
