I'd be careful with term limits. California has term limits, and I believe it accelerated the move toward crazy. When you don't have to worry about your future, you won't be around when the bad things you passed have their bad effects. Also, the easiest way for new people to get elected is to promise more free s**t at others' expense.
@CptAncapistan@liquid2ulu It would have been interesting to see how a Han Solo had aged. Instead, they tried to play it off like he was still pretending to be young which just emphasized how old he was. Really disappointing.
As damaging as Trump has been, just keeping him distracted is a good thing. Besides, if the Senate changes significantly, Republicans may be willing to vote with the Democrats.
I think we're looking at a 1994 event in November, except this time the Republicans will take the pounding.
@WeTheBrandon Isn't the ability to understand things required before you can misunderstand them?
I'm pretty sure Trump's team have just enough neurons that ,when pooled together, could power a tapeworm.
@PessimistPossum@LPTN1776 Chase Oliver was a good candidate. He was articulate, and his position on teen hormone blockers -- that we leave it up to the parents of the teens (like we do for other powerful psychological drugs) -- was perfectly reasonable. What he does in his bedroom is his business.
@LPTN1776 Tucker is a mixed bag -- that's the nature of populism; it's the ultimate "common sense" central planning. /sarc
He's not a libertarian. Maybe he can get there someday, but I haven't seen a genuine move in that direction.
It's alive and well in the Republican Party. Maybe you should be paying attention to Trump's taking over shares of corporations in the name of "the people."
I don't know what happened to you for the last few months. It would be nice if you returned to principles; that ain't simpin' for Trump.
@wecandobetter0@WeTheBrandon I think it has to happen, but the other corrupt, freedom-hating branch of the uniparty will take over. The escalation trap for American politics never runs in the direction of freedom; just the opposite.
The magnitude of Trump's personal corruption and the monetizing of the presidency by him and his family have no precedent in US history.
It takes a total peasant mentality, or some weird cultish devotion, to defend or excuse this, especially if you objected to corrupt Biden transactions (as I did). It's on a completely different scale.
Trump set up a crypto company (World Liberty Financial) 4 days before his inauguration, then had the UAE pour hundreds of millions into his pockets for 49% of it, then gave rewards to the UAE. Jared getting $2 billion from the Saudis. On and on and on.
@UGoNiteNite@WeTheBrandon But Trump ran on a Bernie Sanders' platform -- create tariffs or ban imports to artificially restrict supply, and give Americans (some Americans) higher salaries.
