It is exceptionally annoying to see the various members of the Senate stand in front of the microphones and discuss the importance of trade policy, while they sparsely attend testimony from U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Jamieson Greer.
In the prompted segment below (I skipped the insufferable Wyden TDS), USTR Greer is asked about the timeline for the USMCA and notes he is going to Mexico immediately following the hearing. WATCH:
The cognitive dissonance within the Democrats on the committee is stunning.
Senator Bennet worries the USA may lose its position as the world’s #1 exporter of food; at the same time, he waxes philosophically about the U.S. “affordability” of the same food.
Senator Whitehouse worries about the corporations getting the majority of the tariff reimbursements, while saying there’s no way that foreign countries offset the tariffs with subsidies – because that would mean the corporations are getting windfall massive tariff profits due to the Supreme Court….. Which is EXACTLY what has happened, duh!
Folks, our legislative bodies are filled with idiots. We are not sending our best. lol
Democrats are all Jasmine Crockett now.
One primary premise of “Hitchhikers Guide…” is that the politicians are put in their positions because they are stupid and or corrupt, as well as news fodder. But beyond that, it’s debatable whether we send them or whether they’re placed into those positions.
I think it is safe to say, many/most are placed there.
Congress where stupid people go to become multimillionaires!
What a total embarrassment these reprobate are” sit and appear stupid or open ones mouth and remove all doubt “
I’m confused what SD means by the next to last paragraph. Is he saying the congressman doesn’t understand? Or something else?
yes.
Dolts.
God forbid that domestic food prices dropped with a decrease of food exports.
I’m shocked.
“Folks, our legislative bodies are filled with idiots. We are not sending our best.” I have known this for awhile, especially on the ‘rat side. They are dumb as door nails, although door nails have a purpose. Then you have to realize they are just a symptom of the problem. The real problem is the idiot voters who put these clowns there. I do not have much optimism for the future of the republic with the brain dead “voters” who exist. Some explained this as “tribalism”, if it’s got a “d” after the name, it must be good. Then there is voter fraud. Here in commiefornia old mr. bonta, our AG, changes the title of the voter ID initiative, prop 39, in order to deceive the voters. How about that! See link below:

We have a great chance to rid the senate of Marsha Blackburn while simultaneously protecting Tennessee from migratory liberals.
Idiots include Woke staffers.
There are millions of people in the public and in the media who look at these moronic democrats talking as though they are as smart as Greer and nod their heads in agreement. They receive their talking points from these inquisitions and spread them far and wide.
Idiots…
Yes they are.
They’ve never produced anything in their lives, except hot air and outrage. They have not a single clue about anything in the “real world” which affects those who sent them to Congress to work on their/our behalf.
Even remedial economic classes would be over their pointy heads.
I wonder what’s in the thought bubble over Ambassador Greer’s head as he has to sit there and endure their imbecility…
I am weary of them all.
I have to wonder if their donors don’t have running bets among them for which of their picks can make the biggest fools of themselves.
As long as these overstuffed, loud mouthed egos do their bidding, RF…as long as they are getting bang for their big bucks (in other words, what they’ve paid for), I think they honestly don’t care.
Not just galling.
Repugnant.
DSA is a despicable group but, getting rid of the senate does have a ring to it. Kinda /s.
Banana Joe was president.
Could it be their patronage is solely performative. Nah say it ain’t so 🙁
They don’t have to be the most intelligent people in the room. They just have to be smarter than their constituents.
yacky, yack don’t talk back
