Holy shit, this is INSANE!
U.S. Senator Alex Padilla was just forcibly removed from a press conference held by cosplay DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
What the **** is going on?
He is a ****ing Senator.
This makes me smile.

Not quite a FAFO event, but Padilla tried a PR stunt and got put in his place. Either he didn't have the element of surprise he hoped for or Trump's security people are trained and prepared for stupidity like Padilla attempted.

It is something as simple as decorum. Just because one is a U.S. Senator absolutely does not give you the privilege to barge in and scream at the Secretary of Homeland Security. I'd say the same if Senator Cruz barged in and berated Secretary Majorkas.
It was staged for the MS-13NBC and CNN crybabies.

Kristi said that she and Padilla had spoken right before her briefing, they talked for over 15 minutes and it was a good conversation, even exchanged phone numbers..so why did the prick come back it was ALL a political stunt..they had already talked there was ZERO reason for him to come back

Anytime I think I don't have a life, I muse over the fact that Gothmog has 164K posts at the DUmp.

There's a reason you stated that as a hypothetical, and it isn't that Mayorkas was competent.

That's a good question. What reason could there be for a ****ing Senator to be acting the way he did?

Easy.
Being a lying, moronic Dim'Rat supersedes being an elected Senaturd.
Next question? :popcorn:
-
Maybe he shouldn't be a Senator anymore but since he is from Commiefornia they will build a park or name a building after him.

Thanks for correcting my spelling as, #1, I don't care and #2, I just called him the bald rat. Yeah, Ted Cruz can be bombastic but he'd never do such a thing.
Padilla's clown act was very much akin to a Code Pink protest.

This PJMedia post has two embedded videos that show what actually happened, contradicting some of Padilla's whining claims (e.g. that he was not held face down in the hall), https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/06/12/meltdown-democrat-senator-forcibly-removed-after-disrupting-noem-press-conference-n4940740 .
Padilla FAed and FOed that Trump picked people who don't knuckle under to Dem bullies.
This Californian is tempted to post that I think a sewage treatment plant or landfill should be named for Padilla, but with a few seconds' reflection realized that those places are actually useful.
...

Though less effective.

Democrats are not the resistance; they are children trapped in adult bodies.

Senators have no power outside of the senate floor. He thought he was some sort of nobility and he sure as **** is not.
Exit Question: Is Pedophilla a child molesting homo? He sure acts like one.

You would think that all of these selected officials, from Alex 'PattyCakes' Padilla to Maniac Maxine Waters to whoever the chick was that tried to bulldoze over agents at the detention center a few days back, know the proper procedures to get questions answered. Instead of following proper procedures, they pull these lunatic stunts. Since they pull these childish, idiotic stunts anyway, I have to think that it is one or (most likely) all of these reasons...
1. They think that rules don't apply to them.
2. They are actually too stupid to hold office.
3. They hope to impress their brainless minions, like DUers, who, due to their own brainless state, are awed by stupid actions.
-
4. All of the above
-
After shooting up a baseball game, the assault on Rand Paul, stalking conservative Supreme Court justices, swatting conservatives, and 2 assassination attempts against Trump, the entire democrat party should have a protective order issued against it.
-
I had never heard of this Bozo so I looked him up--he's the senate replacement for Kamala Harris. My guess is that he pulled this stupid stunt to get attention. He's the senior senator from California and nobody has heard of him, while everybody knows the rookie senator Shifty Schiff.

Padilla and Schifftyroo probably did rock-paper-scissors for which one got to disrupt Noem's news conference and Padilla "won".

Cavron Padilla, Chúpame una caca grasosa del culo.

Kinda difficult to maintain 250 yard distances on the chamber floors.

The "No Kings" party wants a senator to be treated like royalty.
Priceless. :-)
-
Watching the video and reading the subsequent comments by Noem, it appears that her security detail thought he was some sort of threat and acted accordingly. Once they established his identity he was immediately released. Probably not a good idea to rush the stage of someone who has the Secret Service and the FBI protecting them. The Dems are taking the position that they should have recognized him. I doubt anyone, including members of Congress, is capable of recognizing every member of Congress on sight.
But to put the incident in terms that Senator Padilla can understand (and which will make sense if you've ever watched any Congressional hearings). He was ruled out of order, gaveled down and Noem reclaimed her time.

Padilla is probably most pissed off about the Israel attacks on Iran because he wanted last night to be all about him. Poor baby.
It has been said here and elsewhere, but I couldn't have picked that dude out of a lineup. He wasn't wearing his congressional pin, and looked more like an PANTIFA thug than a U.S. Senator. Certainly his antics were more of an unhinged protester than a member of the country and perhaps the world's most august and respected legislative bodies.

That made me laugh. I've stopped watching the hearings because the dems make me want to throw things at the TV because of things somewhat like this...
Dem Selected Official: My question is that you suck and likely beat your wife.
Nominee (or whatever): I don't beat my wife. I actually work with several groups who help protect women from domestic abuse.
Dem Selected Official: I RECLAIM MY TIME! I RECLAIM MY TIME! IT'S MY TIME TO ASK YOU A QUESTION. YOU CAN ANSWER THE QUESTION ONCE IT'S BEEN ASKED.
Nominee (or whatever): Okay. So what is your question?

...
There are 535 oligarchs in Congress. There is no way in Hades the Secret Service gives its agents a 535-card deck of recognition cards every 2 years. Without actually checking when he was sworn in, at the earliest he became a Senator in 2021, after some 25 years at city and state-level elected positions in California. He may be CA's "Senior Senator", but he's only been in DC some 4 years.
-
I would not attribute ordinary intelligence to CA's Senators, dating back to Babs Bouncer, but did Padilla not realize that he could have waited for Noem to finish her presentation and ask for questions?
In the real world his charging at Noem and interruption were pre-planned, as were Dem Congress-Critters' immediate howls. It just has not played as well with normal people as Padilla, et al, cluelessly expected.

Even CNN Couldn't Defend Padilla's Phony Stunt
https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/06/13/even-cnn-cant-defend-padillas-phony-stunt-n4940781 (https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/06/13/even-cnn-cant-defend-padillas-phony-stunt-n4940781)
The spectacle unfolded when Padilla showed up uninvited to Noem's press conference, apparently expecting to grandstand his way into the headlines. He not only disrupted her while she was speaking, but he also wasn't wearing his security pin, and Secret Service agents, not knowing him from a hole in the wall (who did before Thursday?), prevented him from charging toward the dais. He responded by resisting the Secret Service before agents forced him out of the room.
CNN's David Chalian didn't mince words about what really happened here and why Padilla was actually there. "I mean, he's there to spark a moment and create attention. There's no doubt this is a, you know, political tactic that he was employing," Chalian admitted with refreshing honesty, not even pretending this was anything other than manufactured drama.
...
Also on the panel was Boris Sanchez, who noted that Democrat voters want to see such confrontation and see discussions with Trump officials at the White House as capitulation.
But Chalian's assessment was more realistic: "He clearly showed up to a public event to create a moment and do what you're saying, sort of show his constituents, not just Democrats, but that he's fighting from his perspective."

That twink is supposedly my senator and I had never seen a picture of him. The guy FA'd and he FO'd.

I have no Senator or Representative in Congress, just Dem talking-point parrots.

Exactly what was going through my head. AOC or Jasmine Crockett or one of the other Dem loons asking some ridiculous question and, when an answer is attempted, screaming "YES OR NO! YES OR NO! ANSWER THE QUESTION THE WAY I WANT YOU TO! SQUAWK! SQUAWK! SCREECH! SCREECH! I RECLAIM MY TIME! SQUAWK! SCREECH!". Meanwhile the nominee (or whatever) sits there wondering how this crazy person ended up in Congress. No doubt Padilla had a "gotcha" question and some similar theatrics planned.

As I’ve said before, until these people are arrested and charged to the fullest extend of the law, this stuff will keep happening. By “these people” I mean both the rioters and the elected officials shielding them.
If there are any brainless minions who can’t think for themselves from DU lurking here, I’m sure that you’ll screech, “YOU CAN’T ARREST OUR DEMONRAT OVERLORDS BECAUSE THAT’LL BE POLITICAL!!!!” Well, as usual, you are completely wrong. To NOT arrest them would be what is political. Let me explain…
If Bubba Ray Maga with his red Trump hat went and vandalized the local Dem Men-Can-Get-Pregnant organization’s meeting place with the phrase “only individuals who were born female can give birth!”, you guys would definitely go after him to arrest him for vandalism, and since he really did vandalize the place, you’d be within your rights. Now, let’s say that, in order to evade the police, Bubba Ray comes to my house and asks for me to keep his being there a secret from anyone looking for him, and I agree to do so. When the police find out, they are going to arrest Bubba Ray AND, most likely, arrest me too for shielding him even if I don’t know about his vandalism.
If an “evil” rethug can be arrested for shielding a lawbreaker AND if no one really is above the law, then DemonRat Overlords should also be arrested for shielding lawbreakers.
Of course, if you're a lurking DUer that means that you're a brainless minion to the DemonRat Overlords and are perpetually stupid and dishonest so I don't expect you to comprehend any of the above.
