he prefers broadway dramas.
Disqualified.
Wishful thinking. Have you seen the Brett Kavanagh job interview lol?
If it's really a job interview then why didn't the guy move on to the next candidate
Because half the hiring committee sees nothing wrong with this man's behavior.
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.
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?”
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.
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!
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?
What a c—nt.
I believe you can say cunt here, if you want - it's not reddit ;)
Yeah I know, I self-censor sometimes because in my head when something is "bleeped" it sounds more offensive 😁
If there's no taboo there's no effect.
What a piece of shit.
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.
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.
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.
Obstructing the government is my special interest
He knows he’ll get confirmed anyway and whatever he does he’ll get a presidential pardon.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, definitely not things you may do in the future, that's for sure.
Of course they can. Nixon wasn't convicted, or even charged, yet Ford pardoned him.
Vietnam draft dodgers were pardoned without charges or convictions.
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.
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.
because they know they cheated in 2020, and still lost, projection all around.
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.

Love the questioning. I was hoping for a dismissive "ok we'll call you back".
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.
I'd actually like to disagree that they're disconnected from reality. This is about as realistic as things can get in politics.. :(
They're not disconnected from reality. They are liars, cheaters, thieves, and crooks.
