Agreed. Term limits should constitute ALL of their time in government, so if they served 5 years as a county's elected "dog catcher," that would count towards their total term. Sadly, they're the ones who'd have to write the law so it'll never happen.
We have term limits every time their term ends. If people don't do anything besides vote for whoever Mittens' niece puts on the ticket, it'll be the same fkn story with a rotating door. It may actually be worse because you can have politicians do even more nasty shit because they're on their way out. Term limits doesn't fix stupid/lazy.
There's truth to this, it's the reason the Founders didn't put term limits, but it is also true that people tend to get comfortable voting for the same person for years and expecting the status quo and over time incumbents become harder and harder to unseat for that reason even if they are terrible. Out of mercy for human psychology, I think a hard three-term limit should exist. It gives enough time for a good incumbent to do good work but sets a boundary. Also, Senate and House need to go back to being different and have different terms and limits. Senators are supposed to be elected by the state, Reps by popular vote, not both by popular vote! That single imbalance tips the government further towards democracy than it should be and eliminates state representation in federal govt as a practical matter.
The founders didn't put term limits in the Constitution because they couldn't imagine that anyone would want to serve more than one or two terms in Congress. Political activity was viewed as an unpleasant obligation, not a career.
Term limits won't do anything. The people in charge are not in politics. They are off to the sidelines directing everything and nobody voted for them so they can't be voted out.
Except part of how they keep control is by having a body of reliable puppets. Term limits forces them to try and constantly establish relationships with new people. Term limits plus electing MAGA reps in primaries would not be a silver bullet but you will absolutely see a difference.
The point is you stop letting them choose for you. Like I said, MAGA candidates. Congress is full of sellouts because we let the system choose our candidates for us. By the time most candidates enter a race, they've already been part of the swamp for ten years. They just claim they're running to drain the swamp, but they were part of it from the beginning. They aren't really sellouts because they never cared about us to begin with. Run for office!
I'm beginning to wonder if its even worth voting for these bastards. The only thing they've done is pass a budget and a handout. No Obamacare reform, no roll back of common core, no prosecutions after multitudes of testimonies, and then they refuse to go in recess to prevent Trump from making recess appointments.
Trump can govern by executive order like hes been having to do. Its time these assholes learn who they work for.
McCain embodied it best. Years and years of campaigning to repeal Obamacare, and introducing bills to repeal it, knowing that they would fail because they didn't have the votes. The second they could successfully repeal it, he voted against the repeal. They're all scumbags and I want the whole house cleaned out, I just don't know if we can afford to NOT re-elect some of these clowns right now. :(
Remember who was the creator of "Obamacare" originally? The Heritage Foundation and then Governor Mitt Romney with "Romneycare". Rebrand it as "Affordable Care Act" and push it through with a Democrat President and suddenly all the Democrats jerk off over it. ITS A BIG CLUB AND WE AINT IN IT.
Im not sure having republicans in congress is helping us in any way. I believe some like Rand Paul and and a few others are ok but most of them have done nothing to fight for us. They have left Trump to fight alone.
The only thing I can see that they have done is approve judges. If we have a democrat senate and house, what will be different other than that?
Well for starters, a Democrat Senate means Trump would've been impeached. So even though they're Uniparty, the Kabuki Theater does indeed provide some protections.
What that POS did should never be forgotten. McCain was pure evil and committed many evil acts as a traitor in Nam to leaving his dying wife for money to the Keating Five crimes to meeting with and funneling funds to ISIS terrorists. He is in hell where he belongs.
Yeah, it pretty much is. The Republican party has been infiltrated by actual Dimocrats. Murkowski, Sasse, Flake, Collins, McCain, Romney, Graham, Shelby and many more are Dimocrats posing as Republicans.
To the retard dumbfucks who were arguing with me a week or so ago about how exciting it was that Susan Rice's idiot son was the President of his Republican club at Sanford and could not get through their thick fucking skulls that there is a UNIPARTY that rules this country and Susan Rice is part of the elite and therefore so is her stupid ass son... DO YOU PEOPLE SEE NOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?? We are ruled by ONE PARTY and they PRETEND to be two different teams so that they keep us divided and the lower IQ individuals root root root for their home team, no matter who wins the globalist uniparty elite win.
THIS IS WHAT MAKES DONALD TRUMP SO UNIQUE. HE IS NOT ONE OF THEM, THIS IS WHY HE RECEIVES AS MUCH PUSHBACK FROM THE "REPUBLICANS" AS HE DOES FROM THE "DEMOCRATS". THEY ARE ON ONE FUCKING TEAM AND THEY DO NOT REPRESENT WE THE PEOPLE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW?? I have half a mind to go back into my messages and find your names and tag you on this fucking post.
u/Swallwell_Gas_Cou/PhilosoGuidou/spratvilleu/Iwantdon4prezagain
Do you people understand that the "Republicans" are not on our side? They hate President Trump, they hate America, they are lying snakes and I consider the GOP elite to be WORSE THAN THE DEMOCRATS because at least the Democrats are open with their complete disdain for average Americans and for President Trump. These snakes are far worse because they pretend to be on our "side" but THEY ARE NOT.
All of the "party platform issues" like abortion and gun control are just there as political theater to make it seem like we are really making a decision. Any politician who actually wants to change these things won't make it far in DC.
Yup. It isn't R vs D, it's the cabal vs. everyone.
I do think that the R's are cleaner than the D's at this point in history. But the root of the problem is blackmail. As soon as we send committed R's to DC, they are threatened or bribed and then they go swamp. This has to be stopped, permanently.
Maybe Trump should do that after the election. If he loses, it will be the burn that shit to the ground moment we all want to see, and if he wins, and the public outrage causes reps and senators to resign, then they can be replaced by the state governors, until new elections happen.
Of course, if he releases all their dirty laundry, like the sexual assault payoff slush fund for Congress, expect and impeachment, part II for some contrived bullshit, as payback.
Can't impeach if they are all behind bars awaiting Federal trial. March the Marshals in during an active meeting of Congress with a Marines in tow and arrest them all live on c-span.
Scour their financials, anyone taking direct money from Russia or china, firing squad. Anyone taking money from sources directly linked to russia or china, get the rope. All public trials, all on camera, when other traitors see the sweat, and loss of bodily function, they might think twice about treason. It's a tough thing to stomach, but swallowing communism in even minute amounts gets to be distasteful and then downright asphyxiating.
Ok, I just have to say it. Who THE FUCK are they protecting? This is corruption and treason attacking the highest level of office, and they want to look the other way? Yeah I'm done.
shrugs it's not as if congress can/will actually do anything with the testimony, altho' it obvious they don't want the public to hear/know. so we wait for durham, who can actually get an indictment/arrest/trial/conviction. they are only prolonging the inevitable. but it is time to take note of the names on the committee, and get those mo'fritters out asap.
The Swamp isn't just Democrats
Nope. They all need to go. Term limits for Congress would really help.
Agreed. Term limits should constitute ALL of their time in government, so if they served 5 years as a county's elected "dog catcher," that would count towards their total term. Sadly, they're the ones who'd have to write the law so it'll never happen.
Term limit for career bureaucrats, too.
We have term limits every time their term ends. If people don't do anything besides vote for whoever Mittens' niece puts on the ticket, it'll be the same fkn story with a rotating door. It may actually be worse because you can have politicians do even more nasty shit because they're on their way out. Term limits doesn't fix stupid/lazy.
I used to think this, but I think term limits might help with the accumulation of power. Or at least expose who actually holds the power.
There's truth to this, it's the reason the Founders didn't put term limits, but it is also true that people tend to get comfortable voting for the same person for years and expecting the status quo and over time incumbents become harder and harder to unseat for that reason even if they are terrible.

Agreed that the 17th amendment was a huge blow.
2nd term EO? Ay, I can dream...
Term limits won't do anything. The people in charge are not in politics. They are off to the sidelines directing everything and nobody voted for them so they can't be voted out.
Except part of how they keep control is by having a body of reliable puppets. Term limits forces them to try and constantly establish relationships with new people. Term limits plus electing MAGA reps in primaries would not be a silver bullet but you will absolutely see a difference.
They have no shortage of people willing to sell out. They never will. Selling out is a human trait.
The point is you stop letting them choose for you. Like I said, MAGA candidates. Congress is full of sellouts because we let the system choose our candidates for us. By the time most candidates enter a race, they've already been part of the swamp for ten years. They just claim they're running to drain the swamp, but they were part of it from the beginning.

Yup, it's like the WWF but at least Hulk Hogan and the Iron Sheikh provided entertainment and weren't selling our country to foreign interests.
and we knew who the heal was.
Hahah yup!
Kamala the Ugandan Giant enters the ring.

What have republicans really done for us?
Well for starters, a Democrat Senate means Trump would've been impeached. So even though they're Uniparty, the Kabuki Theater does indeed provide some protections.
Yeah, you're right. I just need to chill a little bit.
Nah Pede, ALL of these MF'ers need to be drummed out of Congress.
Chill and think about running for Congress yourself.
We have got to take our power back.
These are our employees and they act like our bosses.
Wrong, wrong, and WRONG.
What that POS did should never be forgotten. McCain was pure evil and committed many evil acts as a traitor in Nam to leaving his dying wife for money to the Keating Five crimes to meeting with and funneling funds to ISIS terrorists. He is in hell where he belongs.
Yeah, it pretty much is. The Republican party has been infiltrated by actual Dimocrats. Murkowski, Sasse, Flake, Collins, McCain, Romney, Graham, Shelby and many more are Dimocrats posing as Republicans.
This exactly. Never donate to RNC. Donate directly to Trump and Republican candidates who have proven themselves loyal.
Name Them. We know who is on the committee ... is it Romney? Who else?
Probably Miss Lindsey
aka Lady G
Everyone who isn't Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and maybe Tom Cotton.
I saw a list that had Rand on it. IDK if it was correct.
Grahamnesty
Yes! Say their names!

Amen!
All of the "party platform issues" like abortion and gun control are just there as political theater to make it seem like we are really making a decision. Any politician who actually wants to change these things won't make it far in DC.
Primaries, primaries, primaries...
And RUN FOR OFFICE
Yup. It isn't R vs D, it's the cabal vs. everyone.
I do think that the R's are cleaner than the D's at this point in history. But the root of the problem is blackmail. As soon as we send committed R's to DC, they are threatened or bribed and then they go swamp. This has to be stopped, permanently.
Just drop the hammer, show all the private Intel we know Obama dug up on these clowns and expose them all!

I doubt this will happen but if it did, I guess the question is... then what?
Scour their financials, anyone taking direct money from Russia or china, firing squad. Anyone taking money from sources directly linked to russia or china, get the rope.

Video of an interview with Johnson & Hugh Hewitt.

Sounds like a hell of a lot of obstruction is going on. Nothing but excuses.
Heard that this morning. Actually had the chance to slow down at work so I kept busy around the radio. Thanks for the link.
That's probably one of the first times I've heard him talk to someone like that in the past couple years, and I listen to him every day.
And he brings on Chuck Todd and others...but with Johnson he got very angry. Seemed like callers all had to thank him, or tell him to get worse LOL
closeted graham by chance?
Do we have names so we can campaign against them?
What the fuck ever happened to checks and balances and the different branches of government. The Legislative has to stop trying to be the judicial.
Seriously...DoJ is still sleeping until I see otherwise.
It is fn Mittens doing it.
Release their names. They don't mind owning their protection of swamp/pedophiles?
I want fucking names. Fuck these people. They need to gtfo now.
now tell me how Romney is not guilty of a crime also? also, who the fuck put him on that committee
Fuck subpoenas, we want arrest warrants. Tired of these ass-clowns circle-jerking each other with talk and sternly worded letters.
Name them
Ron Johnson REFUSES to name the names of the GOP who are protecting Comey and Brennan.
So he is part of the swamp, too.
And no one is named, nice reporting. FFS.
Just soliciting clicks for Politico website.
I am guessing Romney and maybe Portman...two people would have to defect
Ok, I just have to say it. Who THE FUCK are they protecting? This is corruption and treason attacking the highest level of office, and they want to look the other way? Yeah I'm done.
Name them
Are your surprised?
I'm convinced there are NO Libertarians, and that all politicians who claim to be Republicans are just trying to secure a particular position.
I think that could even be said about President Trump, although I thank God that he became our president!
shrugs it's not as if congress can/will actually do anything with the testimony, altho' it obvious they don't want the public to hear/know. so we wait for durham, who can actually get an indictment/arrest/trial/conviction. they are only prolonging the inevitable. but it is time to take note of the names on the committee, and get those mo'fritters out asap.
No shit. They are friends. Swamp dwelling friends.
Just research : Lindsey + Poroshenko
It says everything
is it really unbelievable?
can we stop being so willfully naive on this dom?
Republicans are kiddie fucking money laundering treasonous SWAMP creatures TOO!!!
Time to drag all the deep state to the gallows ourselves.
Rinos til the bitter end.
Catty cunts. The lot of em.
Name them, so we can boot them.
Becoming more clear by the day that we will have to cut the rot out ourselves
Ben Sasse is a cuck.
Of course.
SHOCKED, just SHOCKED I tell you!!!
Headline on Rantingly says he was given authorization to subpoena certain people BY the GOP. They voted on it back in June. Ron Johnson is a liar.
Name them or you’re no better
It's not unbelievable if you've been paying attention at all since 2016.
Which ones? We need names.
Bunch of crooks
All career politicians are absolute garbage!
Senator Feckless and his band of pussy Republicans.
Must be on those Epstein tapes....
lol fuck armchair republicans
Which. Fucking. Ones.
