Kennedy After-hours Floor Speech

A bizarre after-hours floor speech to an empty chamber by Senator John Neely Kennedy (R-LA)

My reaction?


OMG. Biden is responsible for inflation across the whole world! He's arranged for companies to have record profits while okaying their price gouging! He is ensuring companies keep subsidies and tax breaks even as they rake in the money!


Shame on Biden for blocking those leaky pipelines that would bring toxic tar sands from Canada to be refined here and sold abroad. He should have encouraged Canada to allow pipelines to cross their country to Canadian refineries on the western coast. Wasn't it clever of him to let refineries process Canadian oil just when our capacity to process our own oil dropped with those refinery fires? And the 5-year process of bringing back online refineries that were idled during the pandemic? Well, Biden must have arranged that during the Trump years.


High food prices? That has nothing to do with record profits by Tysen and others. Let's keep blaming the import shipping crisis.


And now we have those nasty people at the EPA burdening our suffering corporations with unnecessary paperwork. The Supreme Court gutting EPA's ability to regulate must have had no impact. Clean air, water, and soil? We don't need that wishy-washy feel-good liberal tree-hugging here in the land of unregulated capitalism!


I am curious how long ago this speech was given to the empty chamber during the record-speeches-for-constituencies portion of the day. Gas prices have since gone way back down. Ooh, Let's blame Biden for lower gas prices at the pump!


Me thinks this joker is blowing smoke up people's skirts. But what do I know? 😁
