Fox Host Slams GOP Senator For Providing ‘Nothing But Criticism’ Of Biden’s Budget Proposal: Video

Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy (R) spent most of an interview on Fox News complaining about the budget released this week by President Joe Biden, but was unable to answer when asked why Republicans hadn’t countered with a proposal of their own.

Fox host Shannon Bream was interviewing Kennedy on Sunday and mentioned that Biden had announced his budget would “reduce the deficit, shore up Medicaid and Social Security and make the rich pay their fair share.” She then asked, “So what’s the GOP counter?”

Kennedy replied:

“Um, the president’s budget took my breath away. Um, his numbers are extraordinary. We’re going to run out of digits here.”

Um, how about answering the question, Senator.

Instead of providing any budget of his own, Kennedy said, “Uh, the only way I know how to improve the president’s budget is with a shredder.”

Bream:

“Well, we’re waiting to see what Republicans though want to offer in return other than just criticism. Here’s what The New York Times says, how they characterize what they say is coming. They say hard-right House Republicans are readying a plan to gut the nation’s foreign aid budget and make deep cuts to health care, food assistance, and housing programs for poor Americans.

“So again, we’ve got to get to what the GOP counter is.”

Kennedy:

“Well, I’m gonna try to do what’s right for the American people. The media can do what it wants.”

Be sure and notice that Kennedy never answered the question. He and his party have no solutions to any of the problems that confront the country.

Katie Porter Swats Down Lauren Boebert During Hearing On Federal Workers: VIDEO

Bless her moronic little heart, Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert simply cannot understand the easiest of topics, so it should come as no surprise she wound up monumetally confused during a hearing on federal workers today in the House of Representatives

During a House Oversight hearing, Boebert claimed that 20 to 30% of federal workers didn’t log into work “on any given day” between March and December of 2020. According to Boebert, her “facts” came from a leaked memo. She then suggested that federal employees no longer have to report vacations as time off from work and could conceivably claim to be working remotely from home “while at a swim-up bar in Cabo.”

Kiran Ahuja, Director of the Office of Personnel Management, was the witness appearing before the committee, and she made it clear the agency hasn’t made any changes that would allow employees to not report their work vs. vacation time.

Despite that assurance, Boebert angrily insisted that she had evidence proving 25% of federal workers never log into their worksite:  “It’s in this leaked document!”

Once more, Director Ahuja denied such a thing was true:

“You’re citing what was happening in the last administration, and I can’t speak to that particular incident.”

Boebert inquired, “Do you not oversee those agencies?”

The director explained that the Office of Personnel Management oversees “personnel policies” and isn’t aware of what takes place inside individual agencies.

Finally, mercifully, Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) joined the conversation and tried to enlighten the perpetually confused Ms. Boebert.

“I just want to flag for everyone here, that VPN (virtual private network) and using VPN login as a way to measure employee engagement and productivity is notoriously inaccurate and misleading. It does not necessarily reflect an employee’s access to their email internet, they can be working on Microsoft Word, drafting a document, they can be in Excel putting in data without being connected to the internet at all.”

Did Boebert understand that explanation? Probably not, which proves yet again that idiots and morons should never ever be elected to public office, and if they are, should never ever be allowed to serve on any committee.

Here’s the video of Boebert proving her stupidity for all the world to see:

GED Queen Lauren Boebert Flunks Basic Geography With An Idiotic Map Meme

On Wednesday evening, Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert posted a meme on Twitter that only succeeded in reinforcing the widely-held belief her skull is filled with dust and cobwebs instead of a functional brain.

“Sometimes a meme says it best,” Boebert wrote in a note to go along with her meme in which you can see a “Map showing the only place my taxes should go to.”

Of course, anyone who knows basic geography can easily take a look at Boebert’s map and immediately know two states are missing: Alaska and Hawaii.

Also missing are Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam, all of which are a part of the United States.

The incomplete map from Boebert shouldn’t surprise anyone who’s been paying attention since she first joined Congress three years ago. Here’s a few other examples that help explain why she needed multiple attempts to pass the GED high school equivalency exam:

Pursing? What does that even mean?

Holy shit! She can’t even spell her own name correctly!

Imeach Biden? Can someone please give us all a definition of what that word means?

The Founding Fathers were terrified of Facebook not allowing free speech on their platform, according to Lauren.

As for Boebert’s map, that also drew plenty of mockery.

Congress GOP Joe Biden WTF?!

House Oversight Committee Chairman Is Furious He Can’t Charge Joe Biden’s Dead Son With Crimes 

If you thought you’d already heard the most disgusting and tasteless thing a member of the current Republican Party could possibly say, you may want to rethink that notion after you read what Rep. James Comer (R-KY), Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said about the deceased son of President Joe Biden.

Comer was discussing the matter of the Biden family with ex-Fox Business host Lou Dobbs on a podcast when he began whining that Hunter Biden (the president’s surviving son) had not yet been charged with anything.

That led Comer to start talking about the entire Biden family, according to The Daily Beast:

“This U.S. attorney had had an opportunity to go after the Bidens years ago,” the Kentucky lawmaker huffed. “In fact, it was Beau Biden, the president’s other son, that was involved in some campaign donations from a person that got indicted, as well as Joe Biden was involved in some of these campaign donations when he was a senator, and then when he ran for president against Obama.”

Comer continued: “But nothing ever happened. So I don’t know much about this U.S. attorney other than he’s had an opportunity to investigate the Bidens before and he chose not to. We all know that he’s just been silent for a long time.”

Of course, the real reason Comer wants to see someone indicted isn’t because he actually thinks some law has been broken. Instead, he just wants to destroy President Biden, as he admitted recently on Fox News:

“At the end of the day, this is an investigation of Joe Biden.”

Where in the hell was Congressman Comer hiding during the four years of the Trump administration when both Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were working as White House advisers while also engaging in some incredible unsavory (and possibly illegal) activities involving patents granted to Ivanka by China and Jared’s BFF relationship with Saudi tyrant/murderer Mohammed bin Salman?

Comer has also been mostly silent on the failed one-term former president’s own complicity in what transpired on January 6, 2021, perhaps because he’s far too busy getting a woody over the corpse of a man who died of brain cancer after serving his country with honor and distinction in Iraq.

It’s a given that almost every Republican is a piece of shit, but James Comer takes it to the level of outright coprophagia.

Matt Gaetz Gets Shredded When He Quotes From A Chinese ‘Propaganda’ Publication: Video

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) thoroughly humiliated himself during a session of the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, quoting from a Chinese state-run publication to “prove” that U.S. aid to Ukraine was being used improperly.

Gaetz was questioning Colin H. Kahl, Under Secretary of Defense, and he asked the official:

“How about CIA? Are they training folks in Ukraine?”

Kahl replied:

“Not going to talk about that in an unclassified setting. Happy to talk about that further in the classified briefings.”

Gaetz then inquired, “Is the Azov battalion getting access to U.S. weapons?”

Kahl:

“Not that I’m aware of, but. If you have information…”

The Florida Republican announced:

“I intend to enter into the record The Global Times investigative report that talks about training. It’s from the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensics Research Lab. Citing the Azov battalion was even getting stuff as far back as 2018.”

After the article had been entered into the record, Gaetz asked Kahl:

“Any reason to disagree with that assessment?”

Kahl responded:

“Is this the, I’m sorry, is this the Global Times from China?”

Gaetz: “No, this is…”

Kahl: “Well, that’s what you read.”

Clearly unsure of what he had read, Gaetz was forced to admit, “Yeah, it might be, yeah. Would that be a reason?”

Kahl told the congressman:

“I as a general matter, I don’t take Beijing’s propaganda at face value.”

Rather than move on, Gaetz asked Kahl: “Yeah. Just tell me if. If the allegation is true or false, I mean.”

Kahl reiterated what he had just said:

“I don’t have any evidence one way or the other. As a general matter, I don’t take Beijing’s propaganda at face value.”

Before moving on to another topic, Gaetz remarked:

“Fair, fair enough. I would agree with that assessment.”

Could it be any clearer that Matt Gaetz is a complete idiot?
