I thought this was going to be another one of those "no sane person who isn't mentally handicapped votes for as much spending as do US politicians!" threads. A lot of the stupidity is simply a front for the evil acts they commit behind the scenes, not to mention for subtle propaganda and the dumbing down of boobus americanus. Some of these politicians actually are pretty stupid, but the ones with real power know exactly what they're doing.

Then composed myself, walked back in and with a totally straight face said: " Your honor, apparently the island is starting to tip over. It is imperative that we have emergency funding to place 50,000 huge helium balloons under one side of the island at a cost of 50 Billion dollars. Could you help us with legislation to that effect?"

Dumb and Creepy



On Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden swore in members of the Senate that were either newly elected or reelected. As is the custom, senators are joined by their families for a photo op after the ceremony.

As has also become the custom, Biden jokes around with the family, often giving some members a hug or kiss.

But Sen. Chris Coons’ daughter wasn’t fully into Biden’s charm.

After Biden inaudibly whispered something in her ear for a few seconds, he went in for the kiss. And it didn’t quite go as planned.

Well, hell, Barry! While you're at it, why not just take credit for sliced bread, the wheel, and fire, too?

I'm not sure which alternative is worse: that Obama is such a fuckwit that he actually believes this bullshit ... or that he doesn't believe it, but expects enough other people to be such fuckwits that they'll believe it ... or that he doesn't believe it, and doesn't expect other people to believe it, but says it anyway ...

if B = "an insignificant number of people actually did believe (or would believe) what Obama said," and
if X = "Obama expected A to be true when he said what he said," and
if Y = "Obama expected B to be true when he said what he said,"

then there is no possible combination of A or B with respect to X or Y that does not represent a totally fucked-up situation.

Rep. Cummings: People ‘Come to Government To Feed Their Souls’



(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Elijah Cummings (D–Md.) says, “so many people come to government knowing that they are not going to make the kind of money they would make in the private sector but they come to government to feed their souls.”

Cummings was speaking in Washington D.C. at the Legislative Conference of the National Treasury Employees Union on February 4th when he made the comments.

“People do not seem to understand that so many people come to government knowing that they are not going to make the kind of money that they would make in the private sector but they come to government to feed their souls,” Cummings told the audience.:rolleyes:

The Maryland Democrat also told union members that getting federal workers a raise higher than the one proposed in President Obama’s budget is among his priorities.

“So what are my priorities? What’s my reason for being here?” Cummings said. “My ardent priority is to do whatever I can to help federal workers obtain fair compensation and meaningful pay raises.”

“President Obama’s budget for the next year recommends a 1.3% pay raise for federal employees I believe this is to low. I love the president but I believe this is far too low, far too low.”

“That’s why I co-sponsored with Representative (Gerry) Connelly (D-Va.) the FAIR Act. Which would raise pay up to 3.8% - even that’s too low."

A December 2014 Cato Institute report on federal and private sector worker pay finds, “In 2013 federal civilian workers had an average wage of $81,076, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. By comparison, the average wage of the nation’s 107 million private-sector workers was $55,424.”

When benefits like health care and pensions are included, "federal worker compensation averaged $115,524, or 74 percent more than the private-sector average of $66,357."

A 2012 Congressional Budget Office report shows that overall compensation for federal workers is 16% higher than for private sector workers, with private sector workers with bachelor’s degrees making $7.50 less per hour on average.

You had one job, Obama. Well, more than one, and you pretty screwed them all up: Foreign policy, economic policy, transparency, you name it. And when you're spending the last 30 or so years of your life wandering the planet as an ex-president, don't ever get on your high horse about the dignity of the office of the president or any of that sort of shit. Because whatever honor the Oval Office might have had after a multi-decade occupation by jackasses who were evil (LBJ, Nixon), semi-comatose (Ford, Carter), mendacious as hell (Reagan, Clinton), clueless (George W. Bush), you've kind of helped piss it all away. But WTF, right, muchacho? YOLO.

[QUOTE]Obama vows to ‘squeeze every last little bit of change’ out of final two years

President Obama on Friday night returned to his core 2008 themes of hope and change, telling Democratic party loyalists that he intends to challenge “cynical politics” during his final two years office.

Speaking at a party fundraiser in San Francisco, the president blamed Democrats’ poor showing in the November midterm elections on voter apathy driven by frustration and anger with government. He said low turnout largely is to blame for the GOP gaining seats in the House and capturing control of the Senate.

But Mr. Obama said he still has two years in office and intends to use that time to strengthen Americans’ faith in Washington.

“Part of my goal is also to restore a sense of possibility in our politics and our government. And in some cases, that means challenging folks who are practicing the worst kind of cynical politics, and a politics based on fear rather than hope,” he said. “In some cases, it’s going to be finding areas of cooperating with Republicans. In either case, we’re going to need people like you to support these ongoing efforts.”

While battling Republicans — and in some cases, his own party — on political fights of the day, Mr. Obama said he’s also beginning to lay the groundwork for Democratic campaigns in 2016.

“Two years is a long time. And two years is also the time in which we’re going to be setting the stage for the next presidential election and the next 10 years of American policy,” the president said. “And so I intend to run through the tape and work really hard, and squeeze every last little bit of change and improvement in the lives of ordinary Americans and middle-class families that I can.”:eek:

Tuesday, at Defense Sec. Ash Carter‘s swearing-in ceremony, Biden got all touchy feely with Carter’s wife, Stephanie. From the pictures, it looks like he’s whispering sweet nothings into her right ear. He’s also getting a good whiff of her shampoo.

Ewww...what a gross man.
I wish someone would say something or brush his hands off. I don't understand why people put up with it, she doesn't seem to be enjoying it. Especially when he was doing it to that kid - I hope her parents said something to him.

George W. Bush on what he misses most: ‘Saluting those who … put themselves in harm’s way’

Former President George W. Bush said he is always asked what he misses most about being the leader of the free world — and his response, first joking, then turned serious: “I miss saluting” the ones who pledge to defend at all costs, he said.

“I miss … the Air Force accommodating me with a shower on the airplane that flew me around,” he first said at a recent Military Service Initiative Summit, The Blaze reported.

And he added: “I don’t get irritated, but I do have to stop at stoplights now,” The Blaze reported.

But then he turned serious.

“I miss saluting those who volunteer to put themselves in harm’s way,” he said. “And I have vowed for the remainder of my life that I will do all I can do to help our vets.”

Biden gaffes from September 2014


Oh, Joe.

Vice President Joe Biden managed to step in it this morning while speaking about domestic violence and sexual assault:rolleyes: at the Democratic National Committee’s annual Women’s Leadership Forum in Washington, D.C.

After giving an impassioned plea to end such abuse, Biden closed his remarks with a few comments about the challenges facing Democrats in the upcoming elections.
“This is not your father’s Republican Party. This is a different breed of cat,” he said, lamenting the absence of Republicans he said used to champion issues like voter fraud. “It’s Republicans that were involved, guys like [Charles] Mac Mathias, [Bob] Packwood and so many others.”

Perhaps that’s not the best example to use in a speech aimed at reaching out to women.

Oregon Republican Bob Packwood resigned from the Senate in 1995 amid sexual harassment and abuse allegations.

Moments earlier, Biden hailed the progress made in addressing domestic abuse but said success will only come when women stop blaming themselves.

“There will always be some man raising his hand to someone weaker physically, whether it’s a woman or a child or a man, but success will come when the societal attitude changes and not a single woman in American asks herself the question, ‘What did I do? What did I do?’… Never, never, never is it the woman’s fault,” he said.
But the Packwood reference was not the only gaffe of the week for the VP.

Our Rulers’ Stupidity Continues to Astound
Becky Akers


“Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, suggested that a discount card for a grocery store could be a greater threat to privacy than the NSA’s program.”

OK, that in itself proves the guy’s a moron. But then, as if to emphasize his complete imbecility, he adds, “The NSA doesn't sell data, your grocery story does … But I don’t hear anyone complaining about the grocery store’s discount card, because you get a discount.”

The Dumbest Thing Ever Said by a U.S. Senator
Laurence M. Vance

Or at least the dumbest thing ever said by a U.S. senator from Kansas. GOP senator Pat Roberts is opposed to prisoners from Guantanamo being transferred to the federal Supermax prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. This is the prison where Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, is being held while he waits on his death sentence. Roberts is not upset because many of these “terrorists” in Guantanamo have been held without charge or trial for ten years, but because “the installation lies right on the Missouri River, providing terrorists with the possibility of covert travel underwater and attempting access to the detention facility.” I think Sen. Roberts has been watching too many movies.

Most, and perhaps even all, GOP senators would prefer that Guantanamo stay open and that all the prisoners held there remain there without charge or trial until their natural deaths. How many “libertarian-leaning” Republican “constitutional conservatives” likewise hold this opinion?

And people wonder why I say the GOP is pure evil?

Congresswoman Identifies “Homicide” As Leading Cause Of ‘Most’ Murders In America


Houston, TX (The Habanero of Texas) Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee [D-Houston] held an informal press conference today announcing that her administration, through great efforts and much expense, had completed a decade-old study that focused on the cause of murders in the United States. She was reported as saying that the results were predominantly leaning towards “homicide” as being the primary cause for the murders. The congresswoman was quoted as saying,

“Datas (sic) uncover (sic) today give us a clearer portrait of a couple of possible cause (sic) for murder, but let’s be clear.. Changes in the atmospheres (sic) and combustibles (sic) also play a roles (sic) in how peoples (sic) are behave (sic). By continuing homicide (sic) and climate changes (sic) we are ascend (sic) ourselves to vulnables (sic), and we cannot deny that, Nor shall we, Nor shall I, Nor shall we all, So say we all (sic). End homicide and end climate change, and we end murder. THIS, we know.”

In the wake of the foul jihadist murders in San Bernardino, we now have two new categories of weapons, according to politicians and the media. First comes “assault clothing (http://controversialtimes.com/news/new-weaponized-term-emerges-from-san-bernardino-shooting-assault-clothing/)” (H/T DB). Deadly outerwear is followed by “multi-automatic round weapons (http://pawpawshouse.blogspot.com/2015/12/multi-automatic-round-weapons.html).” No word yet on what a M-ARW may be. Or on how clothing can kill. But be on the lookout for these new dangers. These are truly perilous times.

“We can provide guidance, we can have conversations,” Lynch continued at the fundraiser. “Everything need not result in a lawsuit, but some things do have to go to that…area…we have an important, important role to play. So, please, please, think of us there.”

Joe Biden On Violence Against Women: 'We Have To Change The Culture'

Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday told world business leaders not to relax efforts to help women make economic progress, reminding them that they must also help change the culture of sexual harassment and abuse.

“None of this matters if a woman is not safe: safe in her workplace, safe in her home, safe on the street. It’s a basic human right -- the right to be safe,” Biden said at an event co-hosted by The Huffington Post and Goldman Sachs’ 10,000 Women Initiative, which supports female entrepreneurs in developing countries.

Biden cited his decades-long work on domestic violence, in particular the Violence Against Women Act he championed in the Senate, which he considers "the proudest thing I’ve ever done." Biden said he had hoped the legislation would help change attitudes toward women, especially the tendency to blame victims of sexual assault.

"When a woman is raped, when a woman is abused, the first thing other women ask is what did you do? Why were you there? What were you wearing?" Biden said. “Folks, all the opportunity and entrepreneurship in the world is good. But ultimately, starting in this country, we have to change the culture. And we’re not going to change that culture until not a single woman who is abused ever asks herself: 'What did I do?'"

Biden also mentioned the widespread problem of sexual assault on college campuses. In 2014, the White House launched "It's On Us," a campaign to hold more colleges and universities accountable for rapes and to encourage students and administrators to curb the culture of rape.

“I think we have a real chance to have a cultural change. No means no. Yes doesn’t mean yes if you’re drunk and can’t say yes. It’s rape," he said.

Biden implored men to speak up if they see instances of harassment and abuse of women, saying that “the most cowardly men I know are the ones who know it’s happening, but do nothing because it’s not good for them.”

Biden celebrated the progress that world leaders have made in allowing women more economic opportunities, but lamented that more countries need to work on providing "the basic building blocks" for women.

"If you lack basic freedom and equality, if you lack health, if you lack access to education, it’s really hard to start anything," he said.

HOUSTON - The John Biggers' mural at the Blue Triangle Multicultural Association building in the 3rd Ward has withstood the test of time but Monday U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee looked to preserve it.

The paint is cracked and the roof over the mural is incapable of withstanding a major storm.

"If there was a heavy snow like what we're experiencing in Washington (D.C.), literally this roof would collapse," Jackson Lee said.

● Amanda Marcotte: “Sorry, Rand Paul, but your support for forcible childbirth is literally treating women like farm animals.”

● The DNC: “Even as his state literally sinks, Rubio won’t acknowledge that climate change is real.”

On the bright side (see what I did there ;) ), it is interesting to learn that we can go "near" to the sun.

ETA: what is the context of this speech? It looks as though she is delivering it from a high school stadium. I dearly hope and pray that the students weren't the audience. Although I'd love to be a fly on the wall while the science teachers tried to explain this garbled nonsense to the kids.
