Lol. Surely that is an excellent way to spend their time and energy. Lots of luck.


It is. The American people deserve to know the truth.

You think all Dems have the same views? Have you been watching the debates? Have you been reading this forum? If all Dems could agree on a platform and candidate Trump would be toast.

They work for their constituents, and their constituents love the s hit out of Trump. It's their job to help their constituents understand how the country would be better without him, but they are spineless cowards who are addicted to having "Senator" before their name.

Jacksonville, Florida police say a driver intentionally crashed a van through the tent where Duval County GOP volunteers were registering voters Saturday afternoon.

Vote out members who have been there too long. We have representatives that have been there for 50+ years! Many more with 20-50 years. Long time battles hold, biases and prejudices carry on and less gets done because X won't talk to Y based on history. Replace them with new ideas and wash away some of the interoffice battles. Same in the Senate.

Replace them with the same party. I don't care. But just replace them instead of voting to keep the most powerful to bring the bacon back to your district. That pits district against district and sets state against state. We were never meant to be ruled by lifers. This is institutionalized madness.

Next year, John Dingall will have been in the house 60 years. Really?

Um, he’s dead. Retired long ago.


Did I not correct that in the next post?

I think our posts must have crossed.

Oops - Dingall retired. But there are 72 members in the house currently serving who have been in office for more than 20 years.
