This makes a lot of sense. At the current stage of human history, this is the best use for our Congress' time, quite clearly.

How much time and money can Congress steal from Americans?

Oh please. In a world and country facing climate change, human rights issues, medical care issues, voter suppression issues, terrorism, wealth inequality, racism, sexism, rising college education costs and a whole lot of other things I think the US Congress has better things to worry about than whether Jose Altuve knew a fastball was coming.

Oh for fucks sake.

Give me a goddamn break.

Mos Eisley Spaceport is going to conduct a hearing on cheating and dishonesty.

The White Sox have sucked for some time, why does he care?


Furthermore, he should care more about his garnished salary and tax delinquencies.

What the fuck?

At least with the steroids in baseball hearing, there was a plausible rationale in that it was harming people. Does Congress really believe we elected and pay them to provide oversight on this?

Do you believe they give a shit about this?

They certainly never miss an opportunity to grandstand; at least they are adept at that. Not so great at the meaningful aspects of governing.
