Congress should be reverted back to a part time job without benefits and perks like when our country was founded.

Make them go home and make a living the rest of the year they are not in session.

Think about people like Sheila Jackson Lee, who thinks the United States landed on Mars and planted a flag there. Think about people like Hank Johnson, who in all seriousness, expressed concern that due to the weight of US military equipment and personnel, Guam was in danger of tipping over.

There's no subterfuge, no conspiracy or underlying strategy; it's simply true- some of these people are too stupid to breathe:



Now, I ask you- who out there with a triple digit IQ thinks that islands are land masses floating on the surface of the ocean?

First thing I thought of when I heard about the hearings is, "Sure, inflation, crime, Ukraine. Let's trot out the UFOs to take away the public's focus.

I have to tell you- I am weary beyond weary of this.

This kind of thing- this "They're not being stupid. There's some kind of plan behind it" stuff started when Obama took office. Since then, I cannot recall a single time when the US government did something asinine, that this stuff didn't pop into a thread almost immediately. I am tired of it, and that is a monumental understatement. Really, there is no way for me to fully express how very tired I am of this inevitable response.

Believe it or not, as difficult as it is for some of you to accept, there really and truly and actually are people in government who are genuinely stupid and therefore do genuinely stupid things.

Let's make a deal- let's say that those of you who are inclined to go to "it's a distraction" as your default response to this kind of stuff, can still keep beating that dead horse, but you won't do it in any thread I create.

Deal?

HANLON'S RAZOR

Sure, it's a deal. But for the record, I can recognize government stupidity vis-à-vis Kamala. But there's a risk of underestimating people and they use that to give themselves cover. For example, given the high price of gasoline, it stretches incredulity to believe the administration is simply not thinking and they were being stupid when they cancelled oil drilling lease sales just 5 days ago. Dumb people can be smart enough to use their dumbness to deflect any criticism that they should know better and to hold them accountable.

Yes, I agree that the government misdirects the public frequently, but not every single time they do something like this.

That's always been one of my favorites!

They've desperately searching for the next thing to panic the people with and draw attention away from their disastrous policies.

I predict they'll be stupider after the November midterms...it's not just the Libs either the Repubs have some morons too. In Ohio I get to vote for JD Vance as a Senator with an "R" behind his name, what a disgrace and Trump endorsed him too !

You know what- I'll bet you're right.

I'll also bet that you haven't read this thread.

Please don’t ask that question, they’re taking it as a challenge.

They probably want to register them as new Democrat voters.

No, they're also real excited about sending another $40B in American dollars to Ukraine and welcoming every illegal in the world across the southern border of the US. More things that do nothing but hurt the the American public.

Thanks. You said it so I don't have to.

Paul noted that inflation “doesn’t just come out of nowhere” while pointing to deficit spending, noting that the United States spent almost $5 trillion on “COVID-19 bailouts” which have led to sky-high inflation.

Hanlon's Razor in full blossom for all to see

They heard that Texas was sending bus loads of Aliens to Washington DC, so they panicked and decided to investigate UFO's.

we are governed by corrupt morons

The House Intelligence Committee has Schiff for brains.

I absolutely, 100% agree that the government has far more important things to be dealing with right now. They should definitely be getting to work on more important things. However, when there are not more pressing issues to address, I do think it’s important to find out more about these unidentified objects. And no, not because I think we are about to be attacked by aliens, but it is a bit concerning when anything can fly right into the airspace around one of our carrier strike groups and we have no idea what it is and can’t do anything about it. I am frankly more concerned that a terrestrial adversary such as China may have cooked up some type of weapon that we have no ability to combat than I am about ET visiting from outer space. Accordingly, I have no problem with our government looking into why the many hundreds of billions that we spend on our military doesn’t buy us stuff that can identify anything flying in or near $50+ billion of military hardware. They just shouldn’t be worried about it now.

They must interview the guy with firsthand experience with aliens. The hearing would not be complete without it.

The aliens are staying at a Air BNB on Mars. Let's send Pelosi and Schiff to welcome them, and offer 40 billion less 10%.
