1. The founding fathers never intended politics to be a career. 2. People hate their congress, but love their representative. 3. AB doesn't show dates on questions or answers right now (2 May 2019), so your question is guaranteed to confuse someone at some point in time. 4. There is a battle in the US government going on between the blue team and the red team. Everyone seems to want to choose their favourite and take sides, but, did it ever occur to you that maybe both sides are wrong? The blues want to see Trump as this scourge on the USA, and the reds want to paint him as this "everyman" type who wants to unbreak the economy, but he has done a mixture of good and bad things for the country. Meanwhile, congress struggles to get anything done other than giving themselves pay raises (arguing amongst yourselves doesn't count as getting something done). 5. The hearing was just more of the same posturing. Barr seems like an idiot, but maybe he knows that he's still the smartest guy in the room at the hearing. Well, probably not, since he's refusing to go back into the room. But whatever, nothing will likely ever come of any of this.
