That's not even the half of it. Things are worse than that - way worse than that. The prosecution would like to present exhibit A: this stupid asshole ->

Sheila Jackson Lee tells Texas students 'planet' moon is 'made up of mostly of gases'

Seriously - take the minute or two it requires to read that. That stupid - stupid - asshole not only managed to "earn" a Bachelor of Arts in political science from Yale University in 1972, and a Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1975, but she was also elected as a US Congresswoman for 16 fucking terms. Seriously:

"You’ve heard the word ‘full moon,’" Jackson Lee told the students who were with her on a sports field before the eclipse. "Sometimes, you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon is that complete-rounded circle, which is made up mostly of gases. And that’s why the question is: Why or how could we as humans live on the moon? Are the gases such that we could do that?" "The sun is a mighty powerful heat, but it’s almost impossible to go near the sun. The moon is more manageable."

Not satisfied with just dispensing that wisdom (she clearly believes that the moon is something akin to the sun, and that's why it glows...) to the kids, she followed up with:

"What you will see today will be the closest distance that the moon has ever been in the last 20 years, which means that’s why they will shut the light down, because they will be close to the Earth, which is an amazing experience," Jackson Lee said in a live video clip posted to her X account. "You will be able to tell because there will be complete darkness."

When she was confronted by those in the media not on the left, she countered with this:

"Obviously I misspoke and meant to say the sun, but as usual, Republicans are focused on stupid things instead of stuff that really matters. What can I say though, foolish thinkers lust for stupidity!"

And that was the end of it. Seriously - the vast majority of our media was satisfied with that. That, which upon any inspection whatsoever (In what way could she be speaking about the sun? She's saying that she was talking about us landing on the fucking sun???) makes absolutely zero sense, was a fine explanation. It was more than enough to just say, "HurrRrr!!1 I'm not dumb! It's the REPUBLICANS that are foolish!", and insinuate they're being racist. So long as you are part of the media's party, that was good enough. Oh, I left something out, too... Not only was this woman, that the media was protecting, a congresswoman, she previously sat on the House's Science, Space and Technology Committee!

It's simply incredible that you can be that fucking stupid, and still have the left, their ideology, and - most importantly - their indoctrination/propaganda system, ram you through two degrees, get you elected 16 fucking times, and help you achieve a net worth in excess of $3.5M USD (despite never doing anything but being a shit-tier politician). There is zero way this person should ever have been allowed in any sort of position where they could exercise power over other people, and yet here we are: because the left has this indoctrination/propaganda system, they can get away with almost anything. There are far - far - too many hard-working people busting way too much ass for it to be anything less than a supreme insult that this person was helped and enabled by that system to achieve all that, whilst those other people have to settle for so much less. It's disgusting.

Edit: I'm still just absolutely flabbergasted at how stupid her statements on the moon are, and yet how authoritatively she felt compelled to speak to the students. Somehow (and we all know how it probably happened) this person was able to get a BA and a law degree - from big time colleges, too. Even if she didn't know a lot of science, or astronomy, you'd think that someone (supposedly) that educated would be able to reason her way through the moon not being a gas giant, or a star. Even if she were never in college at all, she was 19 fucking years old when we landed on the goddamn thing. I'm guessing it was... you know - a pretty big deal when it happened. How could she not have learned about it then??? It's simply amazing that she was ever allowed to hold power, and the only reason she could is because of what we've allowed the radical left to do to our country. It's crazy.

You forgot the one where one of the Dems was concerned that if the navy built a dock on an Island, the Island would flip over and capsize.

And then there is the always fun event of trying to listen to an anti-gun politician explain how a gun works.

Ammunition for the Assault Rifle - 15 is stored in it's clips, the same way pee is stored in the balls.

Speaking of which, here is a quote from the same dumbass congresswoman on asSAuLt rifles:

“I’ve held an AR-15 in my hand, I wish I hadn’t, It is as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving and the bullet that is utilized, a .50 caliber, these kinds of bullets, need to be licensed and do not need to be on the street.”

Every single thing she says there is total and complete bullshit:

  • It's not heavy. Depending on what kind of parts a particular one utilizes, and what's mounted on it, we're usually talking about anywhere from 6 to 10 lbs.
  • It does NOT fire 50 fucking caliber bullets. Top here is AR-15 5.56 vs 50 cal on bottom
  • Does anyone really believe this dumbass old woman is strong enough to hold 10 moving boxes? What does that even mean here? This part is so dumb, it's just impossible to let slide.

So, anyhow - in a sane world, the entirety of the media would point how how thoroughly and monumentally stupid everything she said here was. They would then also do the obvious thing, and draw the conclusion - wait a minute... if this person is this stupid/uninformed, why in the hell should she ever be allowed to be in a position where she can make/influence laws on this? Nah - almost the entire media covered for her on it.

Again - the left's ability to set/control the narrative MUST be attacked and destroyed. We are never going to effect any serious change without doing that.

A requirement I hadn't thought about: Ability to conceptualize the weight of things (and lift them).
