“Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins responds to the following question from one of our YouTube Community members: “What Republicans in Congress do you think actually do good work for the Nation?”
*This transcript was generated by a third-party transcription software company, so please excuse any typos.
Here’s a question from cool dude, 89 97. He says, what Republicans in Congress do you think actually do good for the nation? None. Not a single one of ’em. And I’m not just saying that as an individual that’s like, Ooh, I’m so tribal. I hate Republicans. I’m saying that as somebody that has been doing this for dang near 20 years and I’m looking at Congress, I’m looking at these Republicans, I’m looking at the legislation they pass, I’m looking at the public statements that they make. None of ’em are good. None of them. Not a single one of them. Every now and then, you know, just like the broken clocks, right? Twice a day. Uh, they’ll say something that I agree with every now and then they’ll propose one piece of legislation that I agree with. I think Ted Cruz and his push for term limits, that’s a great example.
Like, Hey, I like that. I hate everything else Ted Cruz does. But I like the idea of term limits. Does that make you a good person? No. You’re still a piece of crap and I’m gonna keep calling you a piece of crap. I don’t like you. I don’t like what you’ve done. I don’t like how you’re persecuting other individuals and how you support politicians who do the same. Just because we agree on the one thing doesn’t mean that I wanna hold your hand and say, Hey, this is one of the good ones. Cuz you’re not. You know, Nikki Haley, uh, came out shortly after announcing a run for president. She says, we need mental competency tests for presidential candidates over the age of 75. I agree with that. I actually think we need it for all politicians, regardless of age. But hey, a start is a start, right?
So I’m okay with that. Is she a good person? Hell no. She’s not. You look at these other Republicans, even, you know, last year when we had Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger coming out and they’re working on the January 6th committee and they’re going after Trump and all his little friends and still voting with Republicans. You know, 85, 90% of the time on horrible legislation, they both voted against, you know, an extra stimulus package during the Covid pandemic. So screw ’em. None of ’em are good. We can agree on one or two things absolutely. But when we disagree on 99.9% of everything else, then yeah. I don’t think any of you are good. This is Hattie. Hattie wants to know why you have not subscribed to our channel. You obviously like our videos, so do us a favor and subscribe.”
“Iowa is allowing kids as young as 14 1/2 to drive and work now, including in hazardous jobs or even serving alcohol and the companies wouldn’t even be liable for injuries sustained, even if they are negligent.
COMMENT from SUBMITTER:
Just don’t let them have any naked fun because kids can’t handle that. Sharp knives, sure, but a naked penis? Outrageous.”
Seems to me…if it serves making some wealthy person more money, they miraculously lose concern over it…
…or, develop concern wherever they can exploit social panic…like with private prisons, for example.
So much of this is all about money, greed and self glorious power.
Kind of a side note, but I remember watching this segment of a news show during the 80’s [probably 60 Minutes], where they featured this ten year old farm boy, who was legally allowed to drive a full sized truck, not just on his parents farm…but to a limited extent, on the actual public road.
He got to do this, because he was part of his parents business.
Legal exceptions have existed for various things, for a long, long time.

“We now know with some level of certainty that the so-called Chinese “spy” balloon that invaded U.S. airspace was more likely a weather balloon that drifted off course. And now we’re learning that the other “UFOs” shot down by the U.S. Air Force were probably inexpensive balloons launched by Ham radio enthusiasts. Nevertheless, tough guy President Biden has not apologized for overreacting, nor is he likely to.
Guest host Aaron Maté marvels at the disparity between the cost of these hobbyists’ balloons and the Sidewinder missiles used to bring them down.”
“Democratic House Member from New York Ritchie Torres was recently confronted during a town hall by constituents demanding an investigation into whether, as investigative journalist Seymour Hersh recently revealed, the United States was responsible for the September 2022 bombing of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Torres deflected and distracted form the question, bizarrely suggesting that the U.S. could not conduct an investigation of a European pipeline and then calling his questioners “Putin puppets.”
Guest host Aaron Maté breaks down the unbelievable cowardice on display in the non-response to the Hersh story exhibited by elected officials and the media.”
“A recent school board meeting from Anchorage, Alaska, has gone viral after a father reading aloud from a book from the school library was shut down by the president of the school board, followed by the dad’s response.”
It may be a class C felony to show sexual pictures to a minor…But should it be?…
As far as I am concerned…they’re doing these kids a service, by educating them on protecting their privacy, in the event they choose to do it.
Keep in mind…a lot of these are teens, and they can legally engage in outright sex with each other, in many jurisdictions.
It’s ridiculous that they cannot photograph themselves, and share it with someone they are already intimate with.
…”You can have this, but you can’t have a picture to remember it by”…How does that even make sense?
