I can only assume Bessent is in the Epstein files.

Hes such a nerd

It's like talking to Maga online. Bad enough online but it's jarring to hear such utter bullshit from the people who control all our lives.

Of all the red herrings out there, this stands out like a star moving away from Earth at near warp speed.

He really is a sleazebag.

Yes. If we let Iran have a nuke, why, they could do the thing they're currently doing without having a nuke!

Bla bla bla!

Bessent

So when a witness asks a question that has nothing to do with the hearing, Democrats are like a deer in headlights. We need to elect people who can think a little faster instead of sitting there with blank looks on their faces

Fuck these MAGA twats for thinking THEY get to ask the questions in an oversight hearing.

Democrats need to reclaim time every time the witness stalls with an obvious non-responsive reply.

ALL the things WRONG Bessent smirking- thinking he is successfully mansplaining + his smug deliberately condescending insult is undetectable Bessent is counting on US public being too stupid to understand he refused to answer the question b/c a truthful answer is one he won't admit

The cheese slipped off his cracker

My garden tools are actually useful.

At this point I wonder if any of them know what WW1 actually was

2 things: WTF is future proofing? And she should have said “I’m the one asking questions here”

WTF?

MAGA doesn't care about you or me! How many times do they have to tell us this? How many of their agents have to say the same thing? A return to Democrat leadership is our ONLY hope of some understanding and relief.

Whataboutism should not be allowed!!!!!

The answer is CCR, in case anyone is curious.

Democrats ask who won the Presidency in 2020. Maybe this is his idea of a clever riposte. Perhaps he wants to point out that Wilson was racist and a Democrat. Or something something underpants profit gotcha.

Jeopardy answer: Who was Woodrow Wilson. So what? FDR was President during WWII. Is this his lame pivot to blame Dems? Weak. Also, comparing Iran to WWI is idiotic.

Yeah that was a weird reference.

… and on J6 2021, when (supposedly) Biden’s FBI had hundreds of FBI agents storming the capitol.

Trophy unanimously awarded to Bessent for being the biggest and most arrogant smarmy asshole in US history. Emphasis on the latter.

He is the smuggest bastard of smug bastards

Bessent? More like Bellend.

“Just answer the question, you bootlicking weasel”

This blockhead chode's overbite-slurring veneers blathering on about a man who was president 107 YEARS AGO. GTFO Bessent.

YES!!!! oh man someone should have done this!!!

LOL

He is not there to ask questions in the first place but to answer questions.

Bessent is a Russian asset.

Uniquely evil son of a bitch.

One has to wonder if BESSENTs face gets in the way when Trump wipes his butt.

This administration has made Congress a joke. Hope they (Congress) appreciates that fact.

What’s the square root of 7?

Claims the Treasury Dept isn’t corrupt as F but won’t answer questions truthfully. Dances around everything

Iran didn't set off a nuclear weapon and wasn't going to. Trump did not act in our best interest starting this war.

Bessent is a childish asshole.

His condescending arrogance beggars belief.

I'm not defending Bessant here , but she shouldn't have admitted she didn't know the WW1 president. She should know. I'm not sure Harriet Hageman knows what planet was involved in WORLD War 1 , but we're not Republicans.

He looks so foolish, he’s not answering the questions and has no excuse not to! 🙄

Bessent even looks like him. 🤣

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. Douglas Adams

Ok turning into a cheap cable gameshow host as a defence mechanism is a ... bold move.

why was he not immediately dragged from the chambers and tarred and feathered?

"Nah, I was just wondering...who is Andre the Giant?"

I don't get it. How does this relate to the topic of the hearing? Should congressional hearings be quiz shows? Suggestions: - What is the second largest planet in our solar system? - Have dinosaur remains been found in Africa? - What was the average height of Swiss women in 1970?

Do you ever pick your feet in Poughkeepsie?

Trump is just "truncated" bsky.app/profile/atru...

It's really incredible. We are supposed to believe that the people who ripped up the JCPOA Iran Nuclear deal now give a shit about whether Iran gets a nuclear weapon. We are all morons like MAGA I guess.

Fukn dipshit on steroids.

Well you’ve gotta want it lol

yeah, wanted her to say "Edith Galt Wilson, who unconstitutionally seized power from her unfit-to-serve husband ." Why would any Dem lawmaker a.) answer a question from a Trump admin witness, or b.) even think of it as a good-faith question? Saying "I don't know" was bad.

Lol what? TIL

Very. I so wish she had flattened him.

Bessent: this next question will be a DBQ.

If only the US stopped depending on the “flow of energy” through Hormuz….,

It seems like Bessent is trying to imply pretty strongly that the president has suffered a serious stroke, and is incapable of serving.

He speaks with utter arrogance of a man who is sure his side is winning big time and these little girly Congresspeople are under his foot.

Right, I don’t need to hear anything else from this fucking guy until his arraignment hearing

It's telling Bessent has to go all the way back to a time when the US wasn't the center of the global financial system, supply chains weren't globalized & the dollar wasn't the dominant reserve currency for the world in order to defend using tariffs. It's a different world, Scott, you fucking moron!

Does anyone have a link to this full hearing? 🙏💖

How is there not a rule in place that the people being questioned aren't allowed to question members of congress during their own fucking hearings? All he's doing is filibustering and obfuscating to waste their time till the clock runs out. That's why they have to keep demanding time back. Insane.

He never acts as a decent grown up

This clown needs to be swiftly and furiously kicked in the balls.

Did he suddenly become disoriented and think he was a contestant on Jeopardy!? And he thought he heard Ms. Chu say "Woodrow Wilson." Maybe he needs to take the MoCA.

They need to set that chair up correctly. youtu.be/1OLTvxzHWXU?...

reference: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

He probably has some stock answer about how Woodrow Wilson delayed acting against the Kaiser which caused unnecessary hardship to Americans. Its what all of their stupid "let me ask you a question" stuff is about.

It is a racist attack to undermine the legitimacy of an Asian office holder.

Woodrow Wilson, and I'm Irish and I didn't check.

Off-topic, but who is the interior dresser of that venue and why is that person already 200 yrs dead? It’s 2026 ffs.

These people are in charge because our country is full of racist, misogynistic, dumb humans.

Deflect, be stupid, evade and change the subject

👎 He tries so hard to infantilize whoever and whatever...

What the fuck was she doing trying to answer his question?

He’s so smug he thinks he’s untouchable

Ok, Bessent, I'll play. What was the name of the third Oompa-Loompa from the left duing the 2nd verse of Violet Beauregard's song in the original "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory?" What bearing does this have? You tell me. You're asking bullshit, irrelevant questions & wasting everyone's time.

There needs to be consequences for acting this way. He is there to face accountability.

On purpose.

Do you know what I do with illegitimate debt? I do not pay it.

All this shows me is that Bessent can’t defend Trump and knows he’s a fucking disaster.

Someone please beat the shit out of this smug asshole.

name just one of their songs. i dare you

Spawning talking points is all this assholes do. Why are we even having these hearings. Whats the penalty for continuous perjury?

“…futureproofing…” ?????

The proper polite response here is "I'm not here to answer questions, you are." There are many less polite options.

Wtf ?

These videos can and will be used against you in a court of law 🍿

What make me the angriest is my sincere doubt that these people will see ANY form of TRUE accountability. They all deserve to rot in a cell for the rest of their lives for what they've done to our country.

Wow! I mean, just WOW!

CHU: Do you agree with Trump not caring about Americans' financial situation? Bessent: What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? CHU: Can you answer my question? Bessent: Who won the 1961 World Series? CHU: You are dodging my questions Bessent: But I am the pretty pretty princess!!!

They lie worse than a cheap rug.

In two weeks.

Can anyone more versed in US history tell me what Bessent's getting at here? Is it because Wilson got the Nobel Peace Prize?

Forget Biden, WUUDABOUT WOODROW WILSON, HUH!?!?
