Yep ! He sure was late in learning, but at least he learned. Something most idiots in Congress have no idea about to this day. The numbskull in the Oval Office is too stupid and socialist.

Here's the quote....

"I ... wish that during the years I was in public office I had had this firsthand experience about the difficulties business people face every day. That knowledge would have made me a better U.S. senator and a more understanding presidential contender." Senator George McGovern

I actually met Muddy Waters more than once. He would have kicked the crap out of these idiots.

Better late than never, eh?

Wouldn’t it be nice if former lefty Congressmen/Senators who’ve gone on to lead real lives could spend some time speaking to new members about their experienc? Doubt they’d listen.

Here’s how it worked. They used “volunteers” who basically drank free lattes and took up space while they used the free wifi. The little coffee they sold was a “one cup all day” deal so people could hog tables and surf the internet. They mistook “busy” for “profitable”.
