She’s pretty clear and stupid. She wants the money to go to Ukraine, the 4 year war.

As others have said, the various congressional hearings are merely dog and pony shows to get TV face time for blasting someone.

Worse than a waste of time for Congress which, between vacations, holidays and recess days are supposed to be passing much needed legislation LIKE SAVE AMERICA.

Shaheen is one of the stupidest and uninformed democrats in the Senate. She competes pretty well with Mazie for that.

“Shaheen is one of the stupidest and uninformed democrats in the Senate. She competes pretty well with Mazie for that.”

I would have thought that Mazie Hirono would be in a class all to herself, being head and shoulders above all the rest of the stupid and uninformed dems, but I’ll have to investigate Shaheen further.

No, I think you’re right.

But Shaheen may be a close runner up.

Well, Republicans, The dearly departed Linda Graham being one of them, also could not quit sending billions to Ukraine and abusing the taxpayers by funding every stupid neocon war folly they could concoct.

The hell with all of them. Both parties are revolting.
