Democrats are Drama Whores

 Yesterday, Sen. Alex Padilla tried to storm a press conference being held by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. News reports are screaming that he was "forcibly removed" from the press conference. 

Padilla claimed that he was there exercising his "constitutional oversight authority" and that he just wanted to ask a question at Noem's "Q&A session". First, it was not a "Q&A session", it was an actual press conference. I am pretty sure that Padilla is not a member of the press. Beyond that, Padilla's "constitutional oversight authority" is not unlimited.

If Padilla doesn't understand that his "oversight" has limits, I suggest that he try to storm into the White House and charge towards President Trump at his next press conference. I am going to give you a hint, Padilla. Go ahead and put your own toe tag on and save the coroner the trouble of identifying you. This is the year 2025, if you charge toward an elected official, you are taking a pretty big risk. 

Some alleged newscaster said that Padilla actually works in that building. This moron is obviously confused. Padilla may have an office there, but let's check the log sheets and see how much time that he has actually spent there. The fact that no one recognized California's senior senator tells me that he doesn't spend a lot of time actually out in the public. It's not just Padilla, if Sen. Thom Tillis showed up at my front door, I would greet him holding a gun. Get over it guys, you aren't as famous as you think!!

Can Padilla show up at the CIA headquarters in Langley and demand to be let in to see what is going on there? Can he show up at Fort Knox and demand to see the gold? Can he go take pictures at Area 51? Can he just drive through the gate at Fort Bragg and not stop for the security guys?  I am certain that the answer to all of these is "No". This means that whole "oversight" thing comes with restrictions.

As a personal aside, back in 2008 I went to Fort Bragg to pick up a load of surplus that I had purchased. I was three cars back in the line waiting to clear security when a truck from some roofing company just went around all of us and headed in. It wasn't a pretty sight, but it was very entertaining for some of us. A couple of barriers popped up out of the pavement and about a dozen guys with rifles surrounded the truck in seconds. It was amazing how quickly those guys in the truck learned to speak English.

I am fascinated about how the Democrats and the media have become positively entranced with this whole "due process" thing, but don't bother following any "due process" themselves.

Why didn't the Dims conduct any "oversight authority" when there was a guy with dementia at the White House? Which Senator charged into the Oval Office and demanded a mental competency test for Biden? Where's the list of congressional Democrats wanting an investigation into the "auto pen" thing? Where was the "oversight" on that cocaine found in the White House? Was there any "oversight" of President Jill?

"Congressional oversight" is just the latest phrase to be popularized in the world's biggest case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. What are some previous examples of "Congressional Oversight"? Was Ted Kennedy just checking on federal funding of bridges when he became the only man in history to drive off of that bridge in Chappaquiddick?? Were the six Representatives and the one US Senator convicted in the "Abscam" thing years ago just exercising their "oversight' of the FBI? Just for the record, only one was a Republican.

Ultimately, voters have "oversight" on Congress. Let's use that power!!
