“This crazy tariff war … like, the fact that nobody is questioning his mental acuity or fitness to serve is beyond wild to me, right?" said Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Tex., during a Thursday appearance on MSNBC’s “All In with Chris Hayes.”

“Like, the fact that they sat around, called Joe Biden ‘Sleepy Joe Biden’ … at least you could sleep at night because you didn’t have to worry about your 401(k) disappearing overnight," Crockett told Hayes.

“You didn’t have to worry about the cost of food just skyrocketing or skyrocketing costs of all of your electronics,” she said.

“Like, this is crazy work. For no reason.”

      you’re just a miserable little troll, aren’t you?

      edit: i am a veteran. every veteran matters. but anyone that actually served their country understand that the entire concept of a unit is to help each other. support each other. because we’re not all the same. and we’re not all strong at the same time.

          it’s very much not empathy in the military. it’s teamwork. if the person never carries their share of the workload they’re just dragging you down. in most other workplaces that can be annoying to mildly dangerous. in the military, with everything that is involved in that, it can be exceptionally dangerous, for everyone on the boat or in your unit or whatever.

      She’s doing her job. She’s one representative out of a huge number, most who are supporting Trump, so she’s being vocal about it. What else do you want her to do? What are you doing?

          Supporting people like Crockett who are not quietly letting this go. After all, it is their job as a representative to represent those of us who give a shit.

          Back to you.

      Ooo yeah Crockett is anything but dumb tbh. I’ve seen her go off on opposition during committees and councils. Shes one of the few ACTUAL smart politicians, with a real interest in helping the people that voted her into office.
