Sounds like we need to keep electing more people without political experience.

We’d be better off electing an average joe off the street over any career swamp rat politician no mater how suave and polished they can seem.

I've been saying that for years.

Most people off the street are not corrupt and will look after US citizens. Unlike politicians. Especially life time politicians.

If you wanna drain the swamp you hire people not connected to the swamp.

Reminds me of Douglas Adams' Hitchiker's Guide.

"The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."

And I totally get by that same logic this is knocking Trump (whom I think is a great president). I still think it's funny and largely true of politicians.

I think a person of average intelligence could unravel all (((their))) bullshit if he didn’t have to worry about (((them))) killing him and his family.

They’re just thugs with a precious racket.

And this is why they want to invade the average citizen's privacy more and more. They need dirt on people they can use if they ever come up in the political sphere unexpectedly.

Hey sounds like this other guy we know. Heard he was tv star before he became president. Reagan was okay too.
