Congressional Morons At Work

[Mike]

I've been trying to mostly ignore politics and I think I've been fairly successful. However, some things get my blood pressure so high I'm afraid my poppet valve is going to (wait for it) pop! This is one of those times.

We have a congress that is unworthy of the name pretending to be statesmen and run our country that are so out of touch with their jobs that the government is about to shutdown because they can't even agree to disagree. These morons are running the country into a black hole and they are totally oblivious to what is going on around them. If it doesn't involve denigrating the opposition, they have no interest.

With all of the problems we have that need fixing right now, they have taken the time to create a new caucus to preserve and improve historic sports venues around the country, spending more money we don't have, and taking time away from solving problems we do have. It can't be long before we are forced to burn the whole thing down and start over. I just hope I've passed on to whatever comes next before it happens.

On Wednesday, the Historic Stadium Caucus launched on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., following Congressional approval in August. Led by U.S. Representatives Garret Graves (R– Louisiana) and Mark Pocan (D–Wisconsin), the bipartisan group will work to preserve the legacy and integrity of the historic venues located around the country. Staff members of the Rose Bowl Legacy Foundation led the announcement.

“Historic stadiums such as the Rose Bowl have been the backbone of American sports and entertainment for over a century, but their viability and continued operations are being pushed by the evolving landscape and expectations of modern-day sports and entertainment,” said Jens Weiden, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of the Rose Bowl Stadium.

The Caucus will focus on improving the capabilities of each stadium to provide an elevated event experience by assisting representatives of the historic venues to ensure each is up to date with the latest event tech and environmental practices.

They (Congress) say the budget is out of control. Ok lets kill off some of the really expensive hardware the Military doesn't want to fund the program it does want. M1 Abrams Army says tanks are obsolete Ukraine wars shows how a 100 dollar drone can kill a tank. More that a dozen old warships getting refurbed that the Navy wants to retire and fund modern ships the NAVY says it needs to meet the challenge posed by China. This goes on to preserve Jobs in a Key Congress Critters District for their reelection vs national security...

And we should all be working to hang Joe in an get back for Trump's impeachment.

I hate to say this my brother's---but at the end of the day the enemy is us. The disgraceful and often toxic flotsam that we see as the cause of our governmental disfunction got there because we sent them there. The gaetzs and mtgs didn't elect themselves---we did it

I'm watching another ship wreck right here at home with the school board---which is under an organized assault by a committed bunch who will possibly win because they are loud and persistent. Unless the more "gentrified" begin to make more noise we are slated to be buried by this trash

I'd like to have a rational response to what our Legislators are and aren't doing - but I cannot. Our crew is spot on with their assessments and displeasure.

What I can do is express Hope. May our elected Legislators face the wrath of voters disappointed in their lack of action.

They won't because our voters have it too good. Most have never faced adversity of any magnitude - those generations are mostly gone now. We boomers, who were taught by the previous generations who knew adversity, are also on our way out. Every generation after has had just about everything handed to them and they don't have a clue how to live in austerity or even how to survive when life as normal breaks down. They are for the most part not voters and most of those who are haven't a clue what they are voting for or the consequences of their votes. They will let the country die, and many of them will die along with it when anarchy rules. Sometimes being in your twilight years is a good thing!

This is one time I'd like you to be wrong, Mike. For, it pains me you are right.

In the past, many of our people thought the Civil War was our nation's low point. They may be on target - but I consider our current political disarray to be just as dangerous.
