Questioning witnesses in the first impeachment hearing staged by House Republicans, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez prompted each to say they were not presenting “firsthand witness accounts” of crimes committed by Joe Biden.
The New York Democrat also accused Republicans of fabricating supposed evidence of corruption involving the president and his surviving son, Hunter Biden.
Republicans on the House oversight committee called three witnesses, Democrats one.
In the days of yore, public figures cared about at least pretending to have integrity in the public eye. The system wasn’t built with many safeguards against bad actors who do so publicly with zero sense of shame.
I have a contentious opinion. The system *was" built with safeguards against bad actors without shame. I think the founders assumed that dueling would serve that purpose. Anyone who was routinely obnoxious would end up getting killed eventually.
Bringing back dueling could potentially solve a lot of problems. We’ll need ethical gunslingers by the dozens.
God, it would suck to have a Donald Trump type being the fastest gun in DC.
