“Do Nadler and Cummings really believed the American people believe their baloney?”
Yes, they do. Shoot, even they possibly believe their baloney by now. The capacity of ‘progressives’ to believe what the want/need to believe, and to accept their opinions as self-evident truth, is appalling.
Nadler and Cummings don’t care if the American people believe it or not. The votes were cast, the members were sworn in and then it’s free-for-all in an exclusive club.
In politics, the coin of the realm is votes.
