Congress Uses Our Money To Fund A Depraved "Hamster Fight Club"

And other stupid programs like it? This kind of $chiff Adds Up!
You'd think a "Hamster Fight Club" is something me dino would dig up out of The Babylon Bee. This cruel and unusual research raks along with Dr. "I Am Science" Fauci funding Chinese scientists to torture dogs with sand fleas. To prove what? That pain hurts? What's next? Cock fights?
No wonder there's at least decent caring people out there who formed a nonprofit organization called White Coat Waste. White Coat Waste says the National Institute Of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) spent over $1.5 million of our tax dollars to watch aggressive genetically altered hamsters rip into docile ones.
To follow the science? What science? This is taxpayer-funded animal abuse plain and simple.
Can't you hear some mealy-mouthed Congress person now? "Whut? Just a measly $1.5 million bucks, ya say? Shucks! That's just a drop in the bucket! How could that really impact inflation?"
Ever put a pot under a leaky faucet dripping a slow steady flow of drops? Fills up surprisingly fast to overflowing, doesn't it?
If you start counting every one of those isolated programs often stuffed hidden away in bills for all the gimme gimmes out there that become laws, the total price tag and its inflationary impact adds up very quickly.

    Don't worry, they'll come after me first. Since I visited San Francisco's China Town during 1972 and still like a good Chinese buffet, Adam Schiff will give speeches about my Chinese collusion.

    Excellent advice! You could be my (dream on, silly dino, dream on) vice-president if you want the job.

    Well, I would support you in doing all those things. I would add eliminating the federal reserve and force the government to simply spend what it takes in.

    I am not sure they are really waiting for "tomorrow." I think they are TODAY looking for ways to keep the populace riled up and fighting EACH OTHER. That keeps us from noticing what THEY are up to.

    Me dino would close the border, start deporting Biden's illegals, open pipelines and all access to oil fields and let capitalists do their capitalism thing, though there's certain free speech suppressing monopolies I'd like to shatter.
    Oh, yeah, since the DOJ is corrupt, I'd can them all and start all over again. Once I have enough special marshals or whatever they'll be called trained, I'd start arresting Marxist traitors, especially those who perjured themselves when they swore to protect the constitution.
    I'd be hated but I'd be okay with myself.
    Dream on, dino. Dream on.

    I think what I am really saying is that IF I were in control of saving the country, I would not expend any effort on its behalf because I thought it was a losing fight. But I am NOT in control of the country, nor could I have any discernable impace on the fight

    In most cases, I separate ignorance from stupidity by will: ignorance is a lack of knowledge about a particular topic (but without malice) while stupidity is knowing but still doing it anyway (malice).

    In the case of our elected Representatives, they have the means and responsibility to become knowledgeable about any topic up for debate. Because they represent their constituents, the People, they have no excuse for ignorance. Their poor policy decisions are based on willful stupidity (malice) and vapid adherence to ideology.

    Me dino clean forgot about that one. Maybe my subconscious wanted me to. Now giving some thought, anyone who thinks an island like Guam can tip over does not qualify for stupid but just plain ignorant.
    Like the country preacher who told me the sun went around the earth and the lawnmower man who told me astronauts never did land on the moon because their blood would boil.
    All in a sudden I'm thinking of that Werewolf Of London song.

    Yes, I was surprised at how fast a snapping turtle could be several times. I never got bit, but close!

    I agree it's pretty stupid, and maybe even the MOST stupid. Problem is she has SO MUCH competition, when it comes to being stupid. They all seem to be lining up to best her.

    In the mid-80's we moved from sleepy little East Texas to scary-big Dallas. My son was 13 - a terrible time for him, but he made one friend who understood him and in the summers, they disappeared somewhere down a creek close to the house, came back for lunch every day, and took off again for the rest of the day. Those were magical days. I loved every second of them, and now, he remembers them fondly, too. Two years later he was all into buying a car, working nights/weekends and getting his "independence."

    Those days are SOOO fleeting. BTW he and his friend caught a huge snapping turtle and brought it home. We though it was safe down in the bottom of a barrel, but the darn thing jumped up and bit his hand. The good part was that he had just not 30 seconds previously stuck his NOSE in the barrel. Funny how stuff like that can come back out of nowhere and take you by surprise, in your memories.

    It certainly ranks up there with other gems like the island of Guam tipping over...

    Me dino decided to look up what I first ignored and thought of prison inmates where I used to work.

    Me dino never really got over the wicked birdbrain of the west saying, "Let's pass this bill to see what is in it."
    Do believe it to be the most stupid thing I ever heard in my life.
    Well, maybe until gaffe-amatic Biden went from foot-in-mouth stupid to nursing home senile.

    When I was around 14 and younger me dino saw prices like 5 cents for a Coke.
    Then prices started to climb almost annually.
    Saw a movie that had people buying a newspaper for a nickle during the Roaring Twenties.
