lol...why does he even do this congressional crap? These people must look even uglier in person and has anyone ever seen how they all travel with security? I am convinced that most of these "representatives" are compromised individuals with horrible person lives and barely hidden psychological issues. of significant magnitude.

Had a Congressman from Michigan, new him personally. Was an absolute standup guy and great family man. Became leader of the house ways, and means committee, one of the most powerful positions in Washington. He quit at the height of his power. Used to wonder why. But these days I think I know why he quit.

I can't imagine what it's like going there as a normal person. Like going to work in an office building, only to find out once you're inside that it's a brothel and everyone is having orgies in the hallway. And you're forced to pretend in public that everything is fine.

I believe this is something very different. The first was politics and the usual game playing that goes along with that. This is a complete breakdown in the perception of objective reality along party lines.

Well, I like seeing Matt provide his testimony since we need more journalists sticking up for the integrity of the profession. I hear you though, I don't think I would be able to stay professional with some of these sick politicians. I might lose my temper :)

Jim Jordan is at least someone who appears to have integrity and is taking his role in government seriously. Raskin? Detestable. I seriously can't stomach the electorate who puts these people (people like Raskin) into office.

Agreed. I'm glad Matt has the stomach for it. I am a crabby old lady who would never let these degenerates speak to me with such rudeness. It would set a bad example for my beloved Grandbabies.

RaskinтАЩs district, (MD-8) is the beating heart of The Swamp. His constituents are all lawyers, doctors, academics, lobbyists, consultants, and media people whoтАЩve decided they didnтАЩt want to live in DC. Oh, and a bunch of Hispanics to do the manual labor. Those lawns donтАЩt cut themselves, you know.
