We've had this shit in UK, Boris the Spider quizzed brutally on a Select Committee, all a jolly good jape tho cos it means NOTHING. And they know it.

In fairness, lying liars who lie are always going to feel totally comfrotable lying unless they are under oath in court.

Used to be lying to Congress had consequences. But then again we live in a consequence free society.

I have frequently said Republicans depend on their constituents not remembering anything. Works on Fox News but not so much in a congressional hearing lol.

They are all so untethered from reality that anything outside their fantasy narrative just doesn't register. They just wave a hand saying fake news and move on to their next act of evil.

She has no reason to be anything but comfortable since lying to congress seems to carry no penalty.

All Congressional Dems say it together now, prosecuting her for lying to Congress is not only good, but necessary once back in power.

It’s easier to hide behind a thousand atrocities than a single incident.

love how many people thought they're allowed some lite fascism, instead of encompassing rot, as a treat

She lies like you and I breathe. It's a job requirement. I wonder what else she's required to do. Seen any puppies around the White House lately?...

Under a feckless GOP Congress, and a corrupt DOJ, this is only a foretaste of what is to come, and only the shadow of what is going to be.

Congress won’t hold her accountable due to the GOP being enthralled with their orange master

That’s because Dems have utterly failed to make enough of an issue out of it to an extent that forces the media to cover it more.

TBH I think given the girls parents were undocumented Noem doesn’t consider her a citizen, so she can get away with the denial

douwekorff.bsky.social•1 day ago

You are probably right that is how she thinks - but it is rubbish in law! Fascists lie!

kimberleelynn.bsky.social•1 day ago

Most everyone has, is the problem. And they'll take her word for it.

I don't know who are what that noem thing is but I hope they explode violently and painfully

bricktalklettuce.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not a lie. Can't deport citizens. Should be asked if she's trafficking citizens.

Unlike Michael Cohen, who got arrested and jailed for it, now it is OK to lie to Congress.

Technically (and no, it's not a moral excuse, but to be precise) those kids were not deported. Their parents were, and the parents chose (obviously) to take the kids with them. Legally, the kids could return when they are independent.

melissanky.bsky.social•1 day ago

Actually, no.

Make sure the tart is under oath, and make it stick.
