[@stephendoane2075]

Yes! What an idea! I love it. Wow. I am enjoying the video thought that just popped into my head: Yes and No buttons installed at each microphone. Ted asks, "This is a Yes or No question, do you consider..." and rather than Mayorkas pressing one of the buttons, he begins speaking into the microphone. But it is dead. We don't hear anything. Being in the same room, Mayorkas might not yet know the situation. Ted cuts him off and moves to the next one. "This is a Yes/No question Mayorkas. How many murders have there been..." and once again Mayorkas begins speaking to a dead mic. We laugh out loud, many in the room smile or even snicker. Ted moves on, and at the next question, when we are all beginning to learn lip reading because Mayorkas keeps saying the same thing over and over, Ted finally cuts him off and kindly explains that to eliminate philibustering, they have installed the YES/NO buttons, and when any questioner says "This is a yes/no question" it means that the microphone is OFF so do not attempt to say anything as your replacement response for the intended Yes/No. I would LOVE to see your idea invoked!!! It would make the person being questioned look like an idiot to simply be looking left and right after every question without pressing Yes or No. I did notice that Ted would listen on certain questions just in case Mayorkas was going to say a very short answer and actually answer the question with an affirmation instead of YES, but the moment Ted hears him get to a certain point in his word-spewing, he talks over him and moves on - very respectable strategy of Ted.

He’s been in front of congress for days and under impeachment since January of this year. Here are a few snippets from his impeachment. Over 5,500,000 illegal aliens have crossed our southern border under the leadership of Secretary Mayorkas. There have now been 20 straight months with over 150,000 illegal border crossings. Secretary Mayorkas has presided over a 180-percent increase in encounters at the southern border compared to the previous administration. In fiscal year 2022, 98 individuals on the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) were apprehended at the southern border, more than during the previous 5 years combined. In total, more than 100 individuals on the TSDB have been apprehended under Secretary Mayorkas. Under Secretary Mayorkas, more fentanyl has crossed the border in the last 2 months than in all of fiscal year 2019 under President Trump’s leadership. In fiscal year 2022, over 14,000 pounds of poisonous fentanyl was seized at the southern border. Fentanyl overdoses are the number one cause of death for individuals ages 18 to 45 nationwide.

What should really happen is the citizens of the USA should hold these people accountable instead of always waiting for someone else to do it. The citizens hold all the cards because they are who gives these people power and money. The constitution is from the people to the government the people allow what laws can be made not the government to the people. But sad to say the people always depend on the government to do what needs done. The constitution is what makes the united states so different I mean god why do you think the u.s has become a world leader in just a few hundred years? The rest of the world has just followed in the foot steps, and fellow Americans in a position of so called power want to destroy it from the inside. It's like spitting in the face of god to just let these handful of people do this!

[@user-pi5dx3ju6n]

What about the American citizens blood on Donald Trump's hands because he refused to acknowledge the seriousness of the covid-19 pandemic? As Trump told Bob Woodward in a tape-recorded conversation, he preferred to downplay the seriousness of covid-19 even though he knew just how bad it was because he was running for re-election. But you'll never listen to that tape recording will you? No because it doesn't fit into your little Trump cultist bubble.

[@user-pi5dx3ju6n]

Oh and by the way since you're apparently so concerned about accountability, then why aren't you demanding that Donald Trump be held accountable for all the illegal s*** he did? He gets a pass because he's your Messiah right!

I don't understand why these people cannot understand "yes" and "no." I look for the definitions of both to be redefined very soon.

[@mouselim72]

They cannot answer "yes" or "no" because it will impinge them. So instead, they filibuster or stonewall or circumvent with their replies. It's a common political or legal tactic. Technically they aren't wrong in their answers but are not locked down with it. E.g. "Do you like me?" "I think you're a swell guy."

[@chuckjones9159]

Because they are all playing the same game. They are stalling until they are fully prepared to clamp down hard in line with the U.N. and WEF and corrupt corporations. All of this is by design. Everyone would know if they would have paid attention and at least used hindsight and a little research on their own to review the minutes of meetings and tons of documents from these organizations. Every major organization and govt around the world has been infiltrated with these people. They have programmed people for generations and have managed to foment division using false values and feigned compassion. I want to believe there is a way to fix this without violence but we cannot get them to sit down to talk honestly and openly. They want us to be violent though. They have the advantage either way and I am very concerned that in the end one side will end up hunting down and eradicating the other. There would be mistakes and senseless destruction and loss of life and they know that we know that so they also wish for us to just surrender our individual rights and selves for the "good" of humanity.
