Sen John Kennedy yells "But who is price fixing?!?"

This was funny. Kennedy yells "But who is price fixing?!?" and
@owenslindsay1 says "Agri Stats," and if Kennedy knew anything about this pretty recent lawsuit (he's on the Judiciary Committee) he would know that meant every major meatpacker in the United States

The GOP has no intention of allowing us to have normal elections or law and order or anything, it’s all over. It’s just a question of how many of us will be harmed and what we do about it.

They’ve convinced half the country that we have high unemployment instead of record low unemployment and that the stock market is at a record low instead of a record high.
