WashPost Writers Eat Crow for Snubbing GOP Concerns of Boston Bomber Getting Biden Stimulus
NewsBusters ^ | 1/7/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 01/07/2022 8:05:19 AM PST by JV3MRC

The Washington Post is going to have to cope. Its dismissal of Sen. Tom Cotton’s (R-AR) warnings about the Boston Bomber getting paid under President Joe Biden’s gargantuan stimulus bill has resurfaced to haunt the rag.

I can't understand why people love the bureaucratic state. Life is far too complicated to let simple minded bureaucrats in DC try to figure out the right thing for everyone to do in every circumstance.

It leads to absurdities like this one.

THAT is the problem. The Leftards believe that the bureaucrats are all genius level MENSA types that hear all, know all and see all, and are infallible in their god-like decisions. When the actual reality is they are just lazy, good-for-nothing slobs like everyone else, just barely showing up to get a paycheck they know will never end..................

Our modern Left wouldn’t know truth or good public policy if it slapped them in the face.

Yet, they are so smugly confident in their omniscience.

They also believe that one someone gets a govt job they instantly morph into altruistic saints who would never ever misuse their power for personal gain or simply to make people as miserable as possible.

This is why laws (especially tax laws) are so complicated.

Given my choice, I’d like these WaPo enablers, Paul Waldman & Glenn Kessler, LITERALLY rather than figuratively tied in the knots that they wove on their own!

That $1,400 payment (covid stimulus) was, unlike the previous two 2020 stimulus payments, voted as unrestricted by the Democrats and Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) called the ‘D’onkey Party on that, using the Boston Marathon Bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, as a ‘permitted’ recipient.

These two, like the rest of the LEFTist enablers, poo-pooed his critique since THEY believed it depended upon a prior-year tax return. Sen.Cotton, on the other hand, actually READ the legislation and it has now been made public (court document) that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev DID GET the $1,400. So now there is the figurative cover-up with the usual deep-buried correction.

Is WaPo even fit to be birdcage liner anymore?

There are an awful lot of little tin-pot dictator wannabes in this world. We are approaching 8 billion people alive today. Approximately one third (2.6 billion) have IQ’s under 100. A fair-sized number of them wind up in government jobs in “enlightened” countries like the US thanks to various set-asides, affirmative action and such.

Oh, I give them more credit than that.

Those that last are very skilled at obfuscation, subterfuge, deflection, and outright lying; at least skilled enough to sucker the naive and gullible voter who doesn't pay attention or feels rather than thinks.

I’ve given a lot of thought as to the proper punishment that tyrants and federal bureaucrats (Am I being redundant?) are deserving of.

The Constitution forbids cruel and unusual punishment, so I’m not sure if this would be legal exactly.

However, I think that all Democrat leaders and their enablers and advocates should be rounded up and geographically restrained (in somewhere like New York, California, Washington, or Canada) and forced to micromanage each-other’s lives.

Yes, I realize it would be a living Hell for them, and they probably would nonstop complain about how their trials are other people’s fault, and even then they would never learn; but at least it would keep them busy and help others to see the light.

Yeah but it would be short because none of them know how to do anything much useful and therefore their self-created hell would collapse due to the utter failure of essential infrastructure and services [food, energy, roofs, running water and computers]. It would soon look like the Venezuela they all want to emulate.

May I add self-serving and controlling politicians?

Well said, although I disagree about them being like everyone else. Responsible hard-working folks who don't suck off the Gov teat are not in the same useless category.
