Today’s cartoon is based on the Pam Bondi / Rep. Thomas Massie back-and-forth
another reminder that many hearings aren’t built for clarity anymore, they’re built for clips. And bullying.
Here’s what drives people nuts: a lawmaker delivers a “question” that’s really a statement… then the witness starts answering… and suddenly: “I RECLAIM MY TIME!”
That’s not oversight. That’s stagecraft. If you want accountability, ask short questions and let the record get made. Interrupting the answer doesn’t protect the public it protects the narrative.
In the cartoon, Massie’s got the selfie stick for a reason: the modern hearing often feels like it’s performed for the phone, not for the truth. Pam Bondi is very Partisan in her answers.
