There is one good side-effect of the House holding virtual sessions: Louie Gohmert doesn't get to hog the camera at the end of the legislative day.
That said, he's still gag-inducing. Case in point, at today's hearing he started banging his ring on the desk in an effort to disrupt the person testifying. He was admonished by the chair but started up again, claiming "there's no rule about when you can make noise."
Thanks for that info, Louie. Here's hoping your colleagues remember that when you start hogging the camera again, you'll have no one to blame but yourself when you're surrounded by a rising chorus of taptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptap............
Enjoy your asparagus, butt nugget.

What an odious man. That he was ever a judge is terrifying.

Judge Gohmert, Ballif!
I really don't think he is as dumb as he acts and
so much of it is staged because he has zero respect for "the other side" and he thinks it is a win to get "the libs" upset.
