A Smidgeon of Truth About the Charade

Even habitual fibbers occasionally say sometimes say something that is true. Thus our President this week described what occurred in the course of a congressional hearing as a "ridiculous spectacle."

However the prevaricator-in-chief didn't tell the whole truth: Congressional hearings all are meaningless charades. They uniformly are put on for dissemination by the complicit media for two purposes.

The primary purpose is to provide a stage upon which select reprehensibles from the House and/or sanctimonious swine from the United States Sty (a.k.a. the house of gasbags) can puff themselves up in poses displaying moral outrage, righteousness, and indignation, and drone on with self serving and self praising rhetoric that they hope will get some positive attention from their constituents. 

The secondary purpose is to convince the gullible of something the performing producers want the populous to believe.

Nothing comes out at any of the hearings that is not known before they take place. The whole ridiculous spectacle always is entirely orchestrated ahead of time. No minds are changed by what takes place and the only votes that are changed are those cast by the reprehensibles and/or swine who in the course of any given performance become so besotted by booze, boredom, sleep, confusion, or some combination of any number of the foregoing that they vote in unintended ways.
