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.

Silly poster - the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor!
Sure Hirono and Murry are dim bulbs, but here in Konnecticut we've got Chris Murphy - I would put his lack of intellect against ANY US Senator.
Come on Freepers - show us your idiot Senator....
It tells us that she is on God’s conveyor belt, headed out.
For every stupid politician is an alarming amount of stupid people that put them there.
“How dumb are the voters who reelect the same dumb senators over and over again?”
Is it that the voters are “dumb” or is it that the vote counters are corrupt? This is a question that needs to be answered, and soon.
I recall Rush always saying the Joe Biden was the stupidest person ever to be in the Senate... can’t say he wasn’t right but there is certainly a lot of competition for that title !
My support went to Hung Cao in Virginia in the election. It wasn’t enough to oust the window-licking retard Tim Kaine.
Any corruption the Seventeenth Amendment was designed to head off has been exceeded a thousandfold by the Senators we get out of big money, mass media politics. Senators appointed to serve ONE six year term by their state governments would lead to a far less corrupt and more deliberative body, regardless of what state-level horse-trading goes into their selection.
A nation of over three hundred million people and these are whom get elected to The Senate?!
The sadist point about voting sane and normal IQ’s are not required it’s been proved over and over.
Many just react not thinking.
Schumer who served on the Judiciary Committee: “So I would urge my Republican colleagues, no matter how strong they feel — you know, we have three branches of government: we have a House, the Senate, we have a President, and all three of us are going to have to come together and give some.
Two word answer: Very dumb!
It's depressing to realize that Kamala Harris was a US Senator.
Amazing.
