"I'm not gonna engage in the theater"

Proceeds to make it more and more theatrical with every word

he prefers broadway dramas.

Wishful thinking. Have you seen the Brett Kavanagh job interview lol?

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 56 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If it's really a job interview then why didn't the guy move on to the next candidate

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Because half the hiring committee sees nothing wrong with this man's behavior.

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

That means half the committee should be on the list.

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.

[–] themaninblack@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours 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?”

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

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.

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 68 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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

Mr. Ossoff is a beast - only in the best way!

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I haven't seen a more well-spoken, eloquent, and impactful speaker in years, dude. Where can I see this full video and more of him?

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

Isn’t it humiliating to be unable to answer this basic question

His delivery really nails him.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

An autistic person simply could not do this. Its not in our nature to ride trump's dick so hard that we could deny very obvious things.

[–] jdr@lemmy.ml 12 points 20 hours ago

Obstructing the government is my special interest

[–] Mantzy81@aussie.zone 81 points 1 day ago

Didn't even respond with the usual "Joe Biden was confirmed as the winner". Just refusing to answer is an even bigger piss-baby thing to do. It's a great and simple question to see if you'll put loyalty to one man above truth, and shows how much integrity you have in one simple question.

[–] Arancello@aussie.zone 48 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He knows he’ll get confirmed anyway and whatever he does he’ll get a presidential pardon.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Not necessarily. A president can pardon someone who was legally convicted. He can't bottle a pardon for later.

So if after Trump the big cleanup will come, they all will have to face consequences, until some idiot later president will pardon them.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

You can totally pardon someone for something they haven't been convicted of. For example, Biden did this for him, his family, and others when he left office.

I assume there must be a mechanism that could be created to remove pardons though? If someone like Trump just pardons everyone for doing crimes for him, there must be a way to say they were corrupt, and they don't offer protections.

[–] asret@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds like you're both right - you can pardon people for things they have done, not things they will do. This ain't the church after all.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 0 points 9 hours ago

Yeah, definitely not things you may do in the future, that's for sure.

[–] wolfpack86@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

Vietnam draft dodgers were pardoned without charges or convictions.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 8 points 19 hours ago

Of course they can. Nixon wasn't convicted, or even charged, yet Ford pardoned him.

[–] dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

It's highly improbably, but couldn't in theory Trump use his justice department to convict everyone and then pardon em?

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.

Love the questioning. I was hoping for a dismissive "ok we'll call you back".

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago
[–] bigbangdangler@reddthat.com 34 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] bleustenns@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 hours ago

I'd actually like to disagree that they're disconnected from reality. This is about as realistic as things can get in politics.. :(

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 15 points 1 day ago

They're not disconnected from reality. They are liars, cheaters, thieves, and crooks.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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