(2,277 posts)That man just doesn't get it that the steamroller method won't cut it on TV. Oh, and he thinks everybody else is as dumb as he is regarding thinking Trump has some magic privilege.
Looking forward to seeing this jerk arrested for failure to appear.

(81,599 posts)Its like sparring. Keep punching. Keep jabbing. Doesnt matter what the opponent does (or in this case says - or tries to say). This kind of jamming or verbal stuffing is the dont-let-em-get-a-word-in-edgewise strategy. Literally to keep talking and dont cede ground. Keep talking. Keep monopolizing the mic. Dont let your opponent get a word in. YOU keep talking.
That was a useful thing to watch, just to observe the technique. The strategy.
The interviewer can keep talking, too. Go ahead and be rude if thats what you wanna call it. Dont be nice and give ground. YOU keep talking too. And raise your voice so YOURE the one whos easier to hear. Dont cede any ground on the premise that you said your bit and now he gets to say his bet. YOU say - if you keep talking over me Im gonna cut your mic. I asked you a question. You answer it. Dont try to stuff me.
You know his game. Let him know YOU arent fooled, that you know his game.

Of course they all just want to face friendlies from RussiaTV (fox)

(206,792 posts)And he lets them speak out - which has not worked out well for them, especially Navarro. Gym Jordan might be dumb enough to go for it, though from what we've seen he appears to have suffered from severe memory lapses...

(15,469 posts)If they are well managed by their "friends" from overseas (or US owners) and they get closer to having to testify.
I've always liked the root of "testify" - to hold by the balls to force proof.

(145,894 posts)A person who represents himself has a fool for a client. The petition filed by Navarro was so bad that it was funny. The judge read the petition and told Navarro that his petition is a piece of garbage and to refile something that makes sense. This two page ruling makes me smile
