Son of A Tiger 649 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 When I first read comments from Sen. Fetterman I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. My first thought was wow this a severe case of the pot calling the kettle black. But then I realized he is right. The problem is he is in that category.

Fetterman mocks fellow lawmakers on late-night show: ‘America is not sending their best and brightest’ to DC | Fox News He's right. The best and brightest are no going to DC. I'm not sure how any human with half a brain could argue with that. I mean, just look at crazoids and shiiiiitheads like Tuberville, Jordan, Greene, Boebert, Gaetz, Gomert, Graham, Santos, etc -- and on the other side of the aisle Menendez. The best and the brightest are not going to DC. But fact is, the best and the brightest HAVE NEVER gone to DC. In the early days of our great republic, our presidents and congressmen were highly educated and totally tied into their national and state politics. Now, most of the DC politicians are total halfwits just spouting crap for ignorant people to applaud and contribute money for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, he’s the lone Democrat you offer up? AOC is dumb as a box of rocks, as are Talib, Omar, Bush - heck, the entire “squad”. Don’t forget Schiff - but it’s hard to say whether he’s actually dumb, or just a pathological liar. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AOC has far better political instincts than I thought she would when she entered Congress. The “win the internet” millennial bent can get annoying but she rarely has to put her foot in her mouth like, for instance, Tlaib or Omar. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need I remind you of the stellar job she did securing all of those jobs from her district in the new Amazon facility? How about when she said unemployment was low because everyone has 2 jobs? I’ll admit she does seem to resonate with some of the young crowd, but I can provide a lot more examples of her making stupid comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubaseball 2,860 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 It’s not difficult to go back and find dumb things that politicians have said in the past on both sides. Not sure why anyone has to point out a particular side as having more. As far the having smarter people in the beginning, it’s because they were richer and could afford an education beyond most people. Most were blue collar workers and had no cause to run for any type of office. Today, politicians can turn what was once a short term office into decades of government money. Parlay that into book deals, board positions and you’ve made yourself a really good living. All at the expense of the American people. It’s a damn shame 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you fail to recognize the whole problem, then how can you begin to discuss and postulate a fix? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
