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.

Not omly that, they tied the hands of Ukraine, by masking them execute only a defensive war. Now that Ukraine is able to hit Russia, the whole conflict has changed directions. Thus, it was money that was misspent, and it caused Ukraine to suffer losses, while we were throwing money down an never-ending hole for the proxy war they wanted to fill the Democrat coffers, and yet the Democrat Party is still broke anf heavily in debt, as are most of our citizens because they also threw the gates of America wide open, causing an affordability problem with 10s of millions people into the nation that the Democrats caused, but now are blaming the Republicans.

Sorry Jeanne, but millions of Americans don’t approve of giving Ukraine billions for a war they don’t support. Did you GAF about them or is your outrage selective?

Especially with all those fighting-age Ukrainian men partying it up in Poland, instead of fighting at the front.

You are correct, Mazie is in a class all by herself. I was using Shaeen “competing” with her just to emphasize how bad she is even though she isn’t quite in that class yet. But, give her time.
