I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year, and it is the best choice I've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news, chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it.

I heard a solid "No" when she opened her mouth to not answer the question that took you all of 30 seconds to ask; why in the world would you need to waste the other four and a half minutes of your time? In fact, these committees are a big joke in the first place. Nice performance though.

This should not be legal. Purposefully skirting around the question posed should result in contempt. She could have said “I don’t know”, instead of making herself look like a fool! This country and is going down the proverbial toilet bowl, sadly, simply because of the left, if people can’t see that I don’t know how to help. Could a person on the left watch this short dialogue and not see a problem? Honestly. What a sad state of affairs……..
She’s got more Waffle than Kellogg’s
Good grief i could do this job, the answer is YES they will be FIRED full stop.
Her mother came to America on a cargo ship from China. She grew up in Madison Wisconsin. (according to weakipedia) That says it all.
The only part she got excited about was when he called her a ninja
The answer is no NO she just won’t say it you asked a question and they dance around they answer. It’s ridiculous. These people are under oath and they can’t even tell the truth.
Her time spent dodging the question should not count against the Senator's time of asking the question
@80cardcolumn
Ай бұрын
I strongly agree. Perhaps the Senator should get additional time, but then getting one straight answer could take a month, and even then getting a true answer not guaranteed. How about they swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Any stonewalling gets them "a night in the box" for each non-answer.
The clock should stop when an answer is being given in order to stop this constant filibustering that goes on every time a question is asked.
Why wouldn't she answer with an absolute "yes"?
Get her out
Thank you for that question….. whenever you hear that statement, it’s waffling while they struggle to lie and eat up the 5 minutes of time
So, no, she won't do anything. Plz resign lady.

Question - Are you going to help victims of workplace harassment? Answer - it’s teacher appreciation week.
‘I’m deeply concerned about these young women, but I will do sweet nothing.’ This Secretary of Labor is clearly hopeless.
Anyone work for a company that gives out tee shirts, coffee mugs and logo pens at staff appreciation day? The equivalent of tossing a penny to a beggar.
So basically she’s delivering workers into hostile work environments.

Why is it so difficult for her to say yes or no? Why does everyone think that they have to skirt the issues?
She can be “deeply concerned” from inside a jail cell.
