It’s easy and fun to expose the weak and corrupt people representing us in Congress. And they certainly deserve it. But at some point we all have to come to terms with the true enemy. And it is us. The lazy, complacent, unthinking, government-addicted people that keep electing them.
@GinaSaysSo If he were dead what would keep the Democrats from exposing it? 1) there is a dead democrat somewhere too 2) Thune promised not to pass SAVE act and to keep the filibuster ++ 3) they got something else
@Cjpearson I think we saw the plan this week. Trump is going to yell at companies because they are making too much money while claiming he is not a socialist and is a free market guy, and while creating more and more debt.
@RapidResponse47@StephenM Our elected representatives don't care about fraud. They just want the dollars flowing through the economy and into the hands of their constituents. It's all phony money anyway that is meant to buy votes and ensure they keep their seats and power base.
@MattWalshBlog Maybe the strategy is to demonstrate to the American people over and over that anyone in government whether elected, appointed, or career staff are immune from accountability so that people throw their hands up and accept it.
@StaceyFran87406@JungleBall_2 No voters are too lazy or complacent. This is why he won:
Primary Voter Turnout
TOTAL 25.30%
Ballots Cast
856,005
Registered Voters
3,383,591
Not his war chest
@JungleBall_2 Most people didn’t vote in the primary and that is why Lindsey didn’t even have to face a runoff and why Darline has a shot. Liking him or not is irrelevant. Voting is.
@AmericaPapaBear The key is 2028 presidential election. Dems won’t nuke filibuster until they have the presidency. And if GOP can keep White House then 2030 Census is the pivot point to save the country. Nexy four years might be ugly getting there.
Wow did you hear what those Republican congressmen said to that bad guy in the hearing? Lol man they really ripped him apart. It was so awesome. What’s that? Oh no the bad guy won’t be arrested or charged with any crime or suffer any consequences of any kind at all. No, there will be no follow up on the hearing, no relevant legislation passed in response to it, no changes of any kind made at all ever. But did you see that viral clip of that one senator? He even used a cuss word! A real cuss word! He’s so tough and brave. I’m so impressed. Aren’t you?
Due to overwhelming corruption everyone in government: elected, appointed, career own survival depends on the narrative: they are going to get away with it. Until we the people step up and start electing people ready to go in and tear things down and clean it up they will keep getting away with it by design. This is the reason the GOP only does performative accountability. They are equally corrupt and dependent on getting away with it too.
Unfortunately everyone in government: elected, appointed, career needs to perpetuate the narrative that they are immune from accountability. And unfortunately the unthinking masses allow it to continue with a shrug and an “oh well that is the way things work”. The bottom is coming and is going to be brutal.
