I hope they're happy in their newfound poverty.

Chris Hayes showed the segment on his show tonight. I had a very visceral reaction to the segment. I wished that Sherrod Brown had gotten up from his seat, gone around the table and taken that gavel from Orrin Hatch and used it on him. Back in the 19th century, congress critters were known for getting into fistfights on the House floor. I would like to see a return to this because the Republicans need a good beating--without the benefit of votes or etiquette.

Which was my point. No one could imagine a lexus, so they built on what they had

I've lived in Utah the whole time Hatch has been in office and he has not done one thing that benefited the people of this state, except for the MLM (multi-level-marketing)scammers that push supplements and vitamins and other snake oil. And if he's from such a modest background, how did he get to be a millionaire on a senator's salary? One word: bribes. Bribes from Big Pharma, bribes from the NRA, bribes from big oil, and especially from the snake oil scammers.

Hatch has no soul.

Like the character in Dickens Hard Times, I think it was Mr. Gradgrind. He's super cruel and always claiming that he pulled himself up by his bootstraps. Then at the end he gets a beating, which would satisfy miss Grundy 😉) and his right-hand man who IIRC is the one beating him reveals that he grew up perfectly comfortably.

I like that he said "whole stinkin' career". That's some good 1950s non-swearin'. And that he should go back to the 1950s. 🚀 Losing all his wealth along the way. 😊

Leave a voicemail with that George Soros guy. I hear he's been passing out cheques like candy.
