A rare wise decision by him. I listened to the highlights during a long trip yesterday and want that time, and those lost IQ points, back.
Cummings did an admirable job of keeping a dumpster fire at least superficially dignified. AOC did a good job of asking smart questions, coherently.
The remainder of the spectacle reminded me why I often think we should bring back a royalist system. The grandstanding, the bleating, and the pathetic subject of it all, our national imbecile of the moment... I imagine the Brits, fumbling through the shitshow of Brexit debates, feel a bit better about themselves today.
It was like watching the village drunkards interrogate the village idiot. Speeches, bromides, rambling asides, a criminal referral of a guy already going to jail by a Trump supporter... To what audience do these people think they're playing? The dimmest voter could spot the overheated drama that these people were trying to convey.
The interchange between Tlaib and Meadows was ludicrous. Cummings deserves accolades for killing it before it became a "did so/did not" self-righteous chest beating marathon.
Winners: AOC and Cummings. Losers: Anyone who doubted Congress is 90% shmucks you wouldn't trust to watch your pets.
