A nation of over three hundred million people and these are whom get elected to The Senate?!
Loaded question. I don’t have enough hours in a day to answer that.
Unfortunately, a good number of our senators and representatives are far from being our “best and brightest.”
“HOW DUMB ARE OUR SENATORS?”
Good question John. On a scale of 1-10, I would say a 5.
Now a question for you. How dumb are the voters who reelect the same dumb senators over and over again?
Put a gun to my head and I still wouldn’t be able to name a single liberal female who isn’t mind-numbingly stupid.
Camille Paglia had her moments.
We’re the real dummies for putting up with them.
Actually, I think they are pretty smart. They have learned how to talk out of their nether regions. None of us can do that. 😀
Pretty sure most of them are dumber than dog crap. They just have a knack for selling themselves and are willing to do it. They’re part of the oldest profession.
The US is “awash in guns” because citizens simply do not trust our government. Enforcement of law went out the window with senile Joe, destruction of dollar purchasing power, endless wars ( Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Ukraine,…), illegal aliens everywhere, rising taxes, and corrupted politicians at every level.
For many, many moons, I worked for and with people with developmental disabilities (DD).
There was one interaction I witnessed in a grocery store. Some young skull full of mush was in the checkstand, and was questioning the DD person in a very inappropriate (stupid) way. My client actually said “I was born this way, what is your excuse?”
Could say the same about many politicians.
I’d pay to watch a game of Trivial Pursuit between Patty and Kamala.
Is it inbreeding of a closed native population of the islands of Hawaii?
Political whores?
>> these are whom get elected to The Senate?!
Interesting how you put that in the passive voice.
Right! Sure! “Some People Did Some Stuff” and POOF! They Get Elected.
NO. NO NO NO NO NO!
Here’s what happens. We The People ABUSE the precious gift of a Constitutional Republic with separation of powers &etc &etc. In OUR laziness and absorption in ourselves and music and sports and teevee and etc too many of us don’t even clear the ABSURD MINIMUM BAR and VOTE. The next highest (ALSO absurdly low) bar is to KNOW THE CANDIDATES AND VOTE INTELLIGENTLY.
Men (mostly) and women GAVE THEIR LIFE BLOOD to secure over two centuries of this precious gift and We The People far too often spit on it.
Not meaning to insult you personally Rummyfan, and in fact many of us here are part of the solution not part of the problem...
but be aware and admit to yourself — and then PREACH — that the “We The People” function (actually the Kings and Queens at the APEX of government) is the MOST BROKEN piece of American government.
That — and not some accident or fate — is how stupid, corrupt, lazy, self serving senators get elected!
/soapbox
They make AOC look smart with few exceptions.
And most of them are demonrats.
We had a higher quality of Senators overall when they were controlled by the states.
‘ We had a higher quality of Senators overall when they were controlled by the states’
BS
Senator Hirono is 77 years old.
