There was a great movie 20 years ago called “Dave.” It was so long ago that Kevin Kline starred in it. It was about him suddenly becoming president of the U.S. because he was the body double (dead ringer) for the ailing president, who died.
Perhaps they had one for Biden. He fell down the stairs so many times his Secret Service name should have been “Slinky.” But in this comedy by Ivan Reichman, Dave becomes president and looks at things with clear eyes and common sense. He asks simple questions, almost like Trump has, like why does the Pentagon, the biggest expense in our budget, never pass an audit? How is our Social Security program different than a Ponzi scheme? Why do we count non-citizens in our census and give them a congressional seat?
And more recently, how are these congresspeople allowed to trade on inside information to become impossibly wealthy during their term?
I live about a mile from the Georgia line in tax-friendly Tennessee, but I am dangerously close to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s congressional district. Not to totally pick on her — I actually like most of her votes. I was with her on the Epstein file release and avoiding entanglements in forever wars. But let’s look at the way she has purportedly increased her net worth 30-fold in fewer than four years.
Others have done it. AOC, Pelosi, and Ilhan Omar (another $65k to $21 mil net worth person after only a few years in Congress). Most of these wacko congresswomen should have been committed to the nut farm two or three cats ago.
