Congress: A Circus Car of Foolish Clowns
Congress: A Wasteland of Ineffectiveness
Congress is a waste of space and time. It’s time for Congress to reclaim its authority from the executive branch and start taking action. But instead, they are more concerned with their on-camera appearances.
Yesterday, Hunter Biden made an appearance on Capitol Hill. The purpose of his presence was to show that Republicans were preventing him from testifying openly; they wanted him behind closed doors. Initially, the committee gave him the option to testify openly or privately, but then they changed their minds and wanted both. They wanted him to testify behind closed doors in order to testify openly.
The truth is, it’s better to have closed-door testimonies to avoid grandstanding. But what did we witness yesterday? Grandstanding from both sides instead of actual legislative work.
Nancy Mace took her turn, tearing into Hunter Biden. She started off:
My first question is who bribed Hunter Biden to be here today? That’s my first question.” Then she continued: “Second question, you are the epitome of white privilege. Coming into the Oversight Committee, spitting in our face, ignoring a congressional subpoena to be deposed. What are you afraid of? You have no balls to come up here. Mr. Chairman, I think that Hunter Biden should be arrested right here and right now and go straight to jail.
This kind of theatrics achieves absolutely nothing and is only used for fundraising emails.

Furthermore, Republicans should refrain from accusing people of benefiting from white privilege because Hunter Biden’s real privilege is not his skin color. It’s the fact that he’s Joe Biden’s son.
When you bring up white privilege, you only give AOC and others the opportunity to grandstand. And that’s exactly what she did, responding:
I’m just going to address briefly, quickly, that moment about privilege and all of this that we’re seeing here. And it was a very beautiful speech by the gentlelady who, as she mentioned, helped lead on the majority, the now-majority, side on the Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Subcommittee. But I think it’s so exemplary of the point that she also oversaw the elimination of Civil Rights Subcommittee on this committee, which really kind of gives the whole game away. We show up, we give speeches, we give flowery words, but, at the end of the day, participate in the structural erosion of the rights and representation of people that are marginalized: women, people of color, people that just need to see their due process and civil liberties protected in this country.
How is it possible that Congress keeps getting worse every year?
Then Hunter Biden stormed out of the room while Marjorie Taylor Greene yelled at him:
Apparently you’re afraid of my words. That’s too bad. And I think it’s clear and obvious for everyone watching this hearing today that Hunter Biden is terrified of strong conservative Republican women because he can’t even face my words, as I was about to speak to him. What a coward.
Meanwhile, on the Left side of the aisle, Jared Moskowitz responded to the Hunter Biden debacle by holding up a photo of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
This is the state of our Congress. A collection of clowns in a circus.

All of this demonstrates the irresponsibility of our political parties and the broken congressional system. The polarization between parties prevents any meaningful conversation from taking place.
Instead, politicians are more interested in leaving politics and making money elsewhere.
Something needs to be done to fix this disaster of a legislative system.

How is it possible that Congress keeps getting caught up in these theatrics rather than focusing on meaningful legislative work? The incident with Hunter Biden only demonstrates how ineffective and detached from reality Congress has become. Instead of addressing important issues and working towards practical solutions, they engage in grandstanding and personal attacks. This kind of behavior achieves nothing and only serves to further undermine the public’s trust in our elected representatives.
It’s time for Congress to take their responsibilities seriously and start delivering on the promises they make to the American people. We need decisive action, not empty rhetoric and political theater. Congress must prioritize the needs and concerns of the nation and work towards effective solutions that benefit all citizens. It’s time for Congress to step up and move beyond the wasteland of ineffectiveness that it has become.
