AOC appointed to financial services committee

[muzzlebrake]

What? Joining Mad Maxine on the committee to oversee wall street. Is this some sort of sequel to the movie Dumb and Dumber?

And Steve King is being stripped of all his seats.
Go figure.

Nah, she'll suddenly become an investment (cough insider trading cough) expert like Pelosi, Hillary, Schumer... Etc etc

Her short stint in Congress will net millions

She will be in government for the next 40 years her district will continue to vote her in, she's VERY popular with the crazy liberals.

the one in charge has hundreds of thousands of her retirement fund tied up in Russian accounts and the other wants a 70% tax...

AOC was the very reason some stoopid people should not be allowed to reproduce. The things she has said makes be believe she couldn't even make correct change from a $10 bill much less understand anything about Wall Street bidnez. Although she is quite a bit smarter than TF.

I agree.

Unfortunately there's no experience/knowledge/logical requirement for being on a committee.

Consider David Nunes (R) who grew up a farmer, and has a bachelors and masters in agriculture. But is he on the agricultural committee? Nope, he's on the intelligence committee.

Consider Jimmy Pannetta (D) who has a degree in international relations, served in the military, and worked at the state department. So what does Jimmy know about agriculture? Nothing. What committee is he on? Agriculture.

Committee assignments come from the party leadership, and are doled as favors or as a means to curry favor. Some committees wield more power than others, so an assignment to one over another carries more weight. Nunes is on Intel because he's a player in the RNC. Jimmy's on ag because he's a nobody in the DNC. It's all just a power game.

You know old Hank does like his toke.
I would like to see all these people in congress have to pass drug tests.
One fail and you are out. We could get rid of some real looney tunes this way.
Both side of the isle would lose some but you would see a lot more democrats gone.

Ah, Hank Johnson. Proof that you can get a law degree and still be dumber than a bag of rocks.
