Oh man, we were so close to learning the truth! Then. We ran out of time. Bummer.
What you may ask am I talking about? Jamie Raskin was interrupted by Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer. Apparently, Rep Comer has proof of the Biden Crime Family and their illicit dealings! Nine million dollars over here and six over there. Wow. Rep Raskin pointed out that this had all been disproved. But they have bank records! Yeah? And what do they show? Oh, no nine million, and no six. But they are bank records. Rep Comer struck back with asking what business the Bidens were in. And he threw in some words like Burisma and Ukraine. Powerful stuff. Raskin said well if there was a nine or six million dollar bribe or payoff why haven’t you impeached President Biden. Not to back down Comer said, “Who says we haven’t?” (Uh, me for one.) And it went on like this for 4 minutes and 52 seconds and then Raskin’s time was up. Comer would not restore Raskin’s time after taking up most of it. Double triple bummer. Rep Comer almost revealed the proof they have on Joe Biden. But then he’s been claiming this for six? Nine months? And so far – nothing.
Since Joe has been in office the stock market has doubled, inflation is down, jobs are up, and if it weren’t for the Putin Republicans gumming up the works in Congress we would have seen even bigger gains.
Meanwhile, DJT sits in a New York court room and every day he gets smaller. Still stinky, but quieter, and quieter.
Jennifer Rubin pointed out her her opinion answers column that if Trump gets the victory in another court that affirms the President is immune from any prosecution then Biden can order Trump’s arrest or have Seal Team Six take him out and like that there. Be careful what you wish for.
And then I saw a hysterical take off on a Norman Rockwell print. It’s a town hall meting and one solid citizen is standing up surrounded by other solid citizens. However, the faces have been changes and it’s Rand Paul standing and the other right wing minions. The caption reads, “If they can print money why do they need to tax us?” I think this encompasses what Rand and his father Ron understand about economics, which is nothing.
Why can’t you just print money? I refer you to Germany after WWI. Or to say it another way – hyper inflation leads to economic chaos, which leads to Hitler. Okay? No? Okay, maybe I’m being a little over the top, but if people are asking these kinds of questions they have already demonstrated such a lack of understanding that two things are clear: one) they don’t know what they are talking about, two) they don’t want to know the why. So, why should I try to explain it to them? They don’t want to know. If they want to understand take Macro Economic (ECON 101). Then come back and let’s talk.
You know what? I think we’ve seen the truth.
Me? I gotta go.
