Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) on Tuesday reflected on his mix-up during former special counsel Jack Smith’s hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, saying his job “is to ask questions.”
Your job is to ask questions like an educated, informed adult and not like a god damn idiot edgelord middle schooler.
Yes. And a person who was good at their job of asking questions would ask good questions.
You are terrible at your job.
So your job isn’t to call someone a “dirtbag” based on your own inability to understand the facts in front of you?
What do they teach in law school?
Don’t ask a question you don’t already know the answer to.
“Missed that question, huh? Well, you’re still good enough to be a dirtbag Republican AG or senator from Missouri.”
“Mr. Smith, are you aware that you are a stupid and moronic little bug, barely capable of comprehending my immense intelligence?”
“Uh…no?”
“Perjury! You are fully aware of how insignificant and worthless you are, from the day you were born!”
My job is to ask questions*
*based on misunderstood information, in an inflammatory manner, and then accuse the one answering my question of perjury when they answer truthfully, and then finish the whole thing off my calling them a scumbag for doing their job, and never admitting I was wrong or mistaken in any form or degree.
Schmitthead called Jack Smith a dirtbag, said Jack Smith is the villain (again, this is a prosecutor we are talking about, who was looking into donnie’s crimes), makes him want to throw up, etc.
but again, Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) is a accurate representation of the average person in my old stomping grounds.
Just saw this on YouTube and thought you would appreciate it: Senator Schmitt for brains.
Nice. You could sell a “Schmitt for brains” t-shirt to both sides with just a few tweaks to font and graphics.
We could finally be united by a different understanding instead of being divided by a comman language.
On such a stage, never ask a question you don’t already know the answer to.
Uh huh. And that’s exactly what Katie Britt thought you were doing, too. Right? 🙃
And here I thought his job was to legislate.
That requires reading
…like…
…the Constitution.
Also, I’d like to point out the Mr. Piece of Schmitt is also so concerned about women’s sports and trans women, he didn’t even know about, much less consider, the women’s NCAA game.
Ooh, I got a question: Is Schmitt in the Epstein documents? How could we prove that he is not?
This guy is such a loser. That picture of him hiding on Jan 6th is a perfect metaphor for his life.
And just a reminder of the moron from Missouri and his quick draw poster board that probably matches his Republican Christian sexual prowess.

And also honorable mention of Katie Britt’s look of devastation on Schmitt’s gets dunked on and she knows her coordinated plan just went into the shitter.

Republicans would be such a joke if they weren’t so stupidly dangerous.
Usually when people say things like “their look of devastation” it’s an exaggeration and it could be seen as something else. Not in this case though! That is one of the most amazing looks I’ve ever seen. It looks like her brain just shut off.
You’d think if that’s his job he’d ask more questions before running with the least reasonable conclusion.
Now you’re going to tell me that a reasonable person would expect someone to want to watch women’s sports.
j/k I don’t really watch any sports, regardless of the gender of the people playing.
I feel like there are countless teams playing at any given time and assuming you picked the only correct one is a stupid decision. And he’s not alone! A team of idiots worked together to make these nothing texts look suspicious and none will lose their jobs for it.
I feel like it would be embarrassing to say stuff like there were pro games or men’s college games, which sounds incredibly sexist and dismissive (unlike my earlier comment, which is just dismissive of sports), but I suspect that will just earn him points with his base.
The way cons seem to do “logic” is to sweep up a bunch of facts, do some rough pattern-matching for something that has the whiff of some circumstantial connection, and then throw that at the wall and demand that it sticks.
Note that there is virtually no way to distinguish this line of “reasoning” from the way conspiracy theorists do it. Because it’s usually the exact same picture with the same players in it.
For reference, see how they do Covid denialism, climate change denialism, vaccine denialism, evolution denialism etc…
I had a covid conspiracy theorist sibling argue to my face against what I was observing personally while working in a hospital during that time. It was frustrating and I now assume this person doesn’t work with actual evidence or logic, just vibes. They are a mom’s basement goblin and managed to get covid while I didn’t, and I had way more exposure opportunities.
Yeah. Denialists of all sorts tend to be a real chore to be around IRL.
The heel turn the hard right did into covid denialism so early on surprised even me. They just had to politicize even a goddamned pandemic. Couldn’t even fucking be bothered to put in the very least amount of effort, because “woke” or something.
I just recently listened to If Books Could Kill podcasts on “In Covid’s Wake” (parts I and II) and “The Lab Leak Goes Mainstream” and it brought back a lot of memories dealing with dumbfuckery from denialists.
TIL Eric Schmitt is a world class moron.
