Captain Mullins: [Forgetting he’s holding the lie detector handle] That’s enough! Break it up! [to Shemp] Now then, what were you doing at eleven o’clock last night?
Shemp: I don’t know. What were you doing at eleven o’clock?
Captain Mullins: Uh, I was at a lodge meeting. [The lie detector beeps very loudly, startling the Stooges the pen travels wildly in a crooked line then the machine suddenly stops]
Officer operating the lie Detector: That last question seems to have broken the machine, captain.

This story is slightly old but If you want to find something that perfectly encapsulates what the Democrat party has become, this is it. Apparently there has been a problem with Truthfulness among people testifying before NH government committees. Folks have been saying one thing and then it’s been revealed to be, as the committee member put it “infactual”. Fortunately under NH law there is a solution. Any State Senator or Rep receiving testimony on a committee member can do what Rep Sandra Panek did here:
Pursuant to RSA 1414, which states that any Senator or Representative, while acting as a member of the committee, of the legislature, may admininster an oath to any person who may be examined before such a committee. I would like to require an oath of the witness and all witnesses testifying before this committee. The testimony we are taking is concerning a very serious subject matter, and we must ensure truthfulness.
Now you might think members of the legislature would welcome truthful testimony being made before them, but apparently not if they are Democrats who immediately objected noting that they have not seen this happen in the nearly two decades on such a committee.
I presume this is why the issue of “infactual” testimony has become a problem and if there is one thing that we’ve seen from our friends on the left over and over from crossing the border illegally to blocking highways is a complete rejection of the idea that actions might have consequences.
Unexpectedly of course
