The Highs and Lows of Being a DUmmy

(1/1)

So, in the wake of Senator Van Hollen getting his photo-op with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, four other Dem congress critters flew down to El Salvador on Monday hoping to ride on his coattails.  They were denied access to Garcia, didn't meet with any Salvadorian officials and were reduced to trying to look like they did something by delivering a "strongly worded" memo to the US Embassy.  After spending a night down there they all flew back on Tuesday accomplishing a grand total of nothing.  But a random Twitter post got the DUmmies all excited:

None of them seem to be able to explain how her sitting poolside sipping margaritas at a Hilton in El Salvador affects the situation, but at least some of recognize that she has a day job.

I love when someone over there points out that some stunt the Dems pulled was stupid and useless only to get the condescending response that they aren't smart enough to comprehend the deeper significance of the stupid, useless stunt.

Yep, the whole time they were applauding her bravery to hang out in El Salvador fighting for immigrant rights she was on a flight back to the US.  They love to claim what critical thinkers they are, but they fall for every little bit of fake news and random false tweets.

Someone on the radio this morning brought up a fascinating point that I'm sure has been mentioned before, but it bears repeating.


How many of these representatives hauled over to Gaza to demand the release of US citizens held hostage by Hamas?
