HOW DUMB ARE OUR SENATORS?
Powerline ^ | 15 Nov 2024 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 11/15/2024 7:04:03 PM PST by Rummyfan

We try to be polite in talking about our political opponents, but sometimes it is impossible. Some of them are–there is no other way to put it–morons. Such as Senator Mazie Hirono, Democrat from Hawaii. I can’t find a good clip of her comments during Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on bump stocks, but here is a report:

Hirono began her opening remarks by referencing an earlier hearing in which the “entire panel” of witnesses agreed that “this nation is awash in guns.”

She went on to stress the phrase “awash in guns” at least three more times, then said, “Meanwhile, the Supreme Court in various decisions, Heller was pretty much an astounding decision to me when suddenly, individual could, [under] the Second Amendment, individuals could own firearms.”

The idea that individuals couldn’t own firearms–or, more charitably, that we didn’t have the right to own firearms–until the Heller decision in 2008, is mind-blowingly stupid.

More:

She then jumped to the Bruen (2022) decision, feigning shock that, “Suddenly, we’re supposed to look to what the Founding Fathers thought about in…1791 or some astounding time-frame such as that.”

Suddenly. Suddenly we are supposed to care about our Constitution, even though it was adopted in the “astounding time-frame” of 1788.

It is depressing to realize that there are only 100 senators, and Mazie Hirono is one of them.

‘ Senator Hirono is 77 years old.’

That tells us what?

Well, add up all the IQs of the Senators, and you will almost get to 100.

I think Hirono is the dumbest Senator I’ve ever seen. Legitimately below average intelligence.

Hirono was reelected with only token opposition, from a weak and feckless Hawaii RepublicanParty(HRP)
This retard, with a very questionable immigration narrative, is now locked in for another 6 years of disgracing our State.

She will almost certainly have to die in office before we get rid of this bitch.

If the Jap doesn’t like the thought of AMERICANS having guns, I suggest she take her ass back to Japan. We can get by without her representing the state her country bombed the shet out of in order to start WWII.

I remain intensely curious about the status of her father. In the Immperial Japanese Army , as a military age male, ‘Veteranarian’ in WW2.
They say the man had a bad drinking problem after the war....I wonder why ? And how did she and her mother get into the USA , as refugees from domestic violence? Her whole story stinks, to me. And no one has ever bothered to seriously investigate it ( in Japan)

Just the fact that Hawaiians would vote for this creep after Pearl Harbor really pisses me off.

Is that a rhetorical question, because I'm not sure I can cover it all within the limit of this text box.

The majority of Hawaii’s voters are politically myopic morons.

They have become insensate generational voters.
Similar to blacks.

Whoever their relatives vote for, they vote for.
Critical thinking is unknown.

This year they really shot themselves in the foot

Well, let’s put it this way: Most of these pimp jackasses are lawyers that couldn’t make it in lawyerism so they went into politics. Most of em are dumber than a box of rocks.

She lives in Hawaii. One of the hardest places in the country to own a firearm for self defense.

Bet she has her guns, plus armed security.

Taken along with what she says, probably about where her IQ is.

They are so dumb they think a steering column is a cattle drive in single file.

If you took all of their brains and shoved them up a flea’s behind it would rattle around like a beebee in a boxcar.

“I think Hirono is the dumbest Senator I’ve ever seen. Legitimately below average intelligence.”

For a Senator, but when talking overall dumb, congressman Jerry Nadler might have her beat. When he is awake.
