Stein...

JFC...I thought The Chosen Ones were smarter than the average bear.

That clip was so bad you'd think it came straight out of some comedy skit.

 

[Intrepid]

It's as if they don't even care about keeping up appearances any more.

They don't call it Clown World for nuthin'.

The initial question made me think of Bill Still.

I think AOC's degree is in economics. Seriously.

oh ... my ... god ... ...

well, I do, and my local PBS still shows it.

Holy :bigpoo:. That was worse than I thought it would be.

This is Jarod Bernstein. He is the Chair of the President's Economic Advisors. If Jarod left the room, his actual empty chair would be a more intelligent advisor.

It's not that he doesn't know, it's that he can't say it on the record. What's he going to say? "Well, you see, bankers took over the money system 100 years ago with the goal of stripping the country of its wealth and it's done through loaning you your own money with interest, so that you can never pay it back."

Sometimes it's smarter to look like a clueless fool than to admit inconvenient truths....if that person is trying to keep that truth concealed.

I somehow missed this thread before posting this in the Clown World thread, but he is a special talent and deserved to be forever recognized for his great contributions to Clown World. It takes a village populated by village idiots, and he's the Chair.

Here's this guy's confirmation hearing... Doesn't get any better there...

12-11 party line confirmation vote.



Sen. Kennedy starts at 1:12:48.

The only mistake is that this wasn't already cross-posted to the Clown Show thread.

As I said over there, it's a short-list contender for thread winner.

I'm pretty jaded about corruption, ineptitude, flat out evil, etc in government, but that was actually terrifying. In the past they usually were able to double talk a bit so their load of BS sounded somewhat articulate. I'm not exaggerating, almost line for line, I don't think Mike Judge could have written that any better for Idiocracy. It makes me wonder if the collapse is pretty close if they don't even bother to BS.

That's one explanation. Another is, all these people bleating, "The Constitution must be worthless because it didn't put a stop to this" are just part of the psyop. Blame all this on the Constitution so people will be ready to discard it in favor of their preferred flavor of totalitarianism.

How they did even confirm a Economic advisor without a Economic degree?

I know, right?

I mean, the shuck-and-jive is entirely to be expected - but at least it's supposed to come with veneer of "we are Very Smart People[sup]TM[/sup] and we know what we're doing" slathered all over it.

But this is just ... yikes!! WTAF?!

When you're deliberately destroying the currency, both to transfer all the nation's wealth to the rich, and to eliminate cash, that's the only kind to have. Anyone else has no excuse.

... yikes!! WTAF?!

For a psyop which couldn't possibly be designed to install Trump as Big Brother there sure are a lot of things going on that appear to be designed specifically to make Trump look comparatively good.
