Conehead Survives DC

And we survived the alcohol intake - it wasn't nearly as bad as we expected, though Conehead was the least prepared and most idiotic of all the speakers. Some highlights of him getting roasted:

• That’s not the position of South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, who tried to get a yes or no answer from Johnson on whether it’s “acceptable for illegals who commit heinous crimes to be released back into the public.”

  Mace cut off Johnson as he tried to launch into a nuanced answer.

  “This is why you have a 6% approval rating: Because you suck at answering questions,” she said, joining a line of Republicans who took hard shots at the freshman mayor.

Welcome to our world Congresswoman.

Or this:

• Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., pressed Johnson on how much money Chicago has spent on the migrant crisis. Johnson said it accounted for about 1% of the city’s overall budget over four years but couldn’t offer a specific number.

  “If you don’t have a hard number, you’re not running your city well,” Donalds told Johnson.

  Chicago’s 2025 budget is $17.1 billion. One percent of that would be a staggering $171 million.

$171 million would have covered around 45% of Conehead's $380 million bond issue, saving taxpayers nearly a billion in interest payments.

And this ridiculous self-own:

• "...everything that is dope about America comes from Chicago.”

"....dope...." How very....raggedy. 

The one that really amused us (and we can't find the direct quote at the moment) was Conehead bragging about the money was well spent educating illegals.

Hate to break it to you Conehead, but kids in CPS ain't learning. Not only is the student population shrinking, it's scoring lower than ever on standardized tests, all while spending more per pupil that just about anywhere else on earth. Think how much better all those actual American citizen students would be doing if the teachers weren't spending thousands of hours on illegals who shouldn't even be here.

Ah, who are we kidding? They'd still be testing at record lows because the CTU is more worried about more dollars than actually educating children. Stupid kids become stupid adults become stupid democrat voters.

The only thing Conehead got correct - and it was probably one of his handlers who fed him this line - was that this was all grandstanding, which it most certainly was. Nothing is going to change at the local level.
