It's kind of like... collusion, corruption, obstruction, qpq... right?

The EU is a council of unelected officials.

OK, so again he used tax payer dollars to force a foreign nations hand. Using the "rest of the world wanted us to do it" makes this sound a little bit worse.

Honestly, if Biden is elected, I would be seeking impeachment immediately. (See where we have arrived?)

The EU has elections every five years. The president is elected by the electorate every two years.

You finally said something I can agree with... as long as your "campaign finance reform" isn't paid for by taxes.

Speaking of term limits.....

Why the holdout?

Lobbying is a dirty business full of quid pro quo, nepotism, good ol'boy networking, etc... It's time to find a better way.

And I'm 100% on board for SCOTUS term limits as well. In the 1800's, the life expectancy was like what.. 50? 55 maybe? Now, every one of them are over the age of 50 and the life expectancy in the US is like 80 years.

"No quid pro quo" has shifted to, quid pro quo is not illegal. The perfect call where the president was only asking for a favor and not directly requesting investigations now confirmed as false has become "the President is entitled to do anything he wants"

The loyalty is staggering, but I wonder if they've come to realize the damage being done to their party and the confidence being lost in their electorate. The chances of their keeping the Senate are fading fast and if the Democrats could stop chewing on one another for a moment and focus on propping up a single candidate, Trump will easily be replaced next November.

You should go back to when you literally said Nancy Pelosi has the authority to impeach the President.

Because stupidity like that makes me laugh a lot.

Life expectancy was only that low due to the number of children that died young, Once you made it out of childhood, the life expectancy wasn't that much different than today.

It was shorter than today, but yes, life expectancy went up dramatically once you reached 20.

I just randomly picked a few of the Founding Fathers and many of them lived into their 80's.

They were dying of shit like TB and stuff we have cures for now, Now we just all get cancer.

Those were rich dudes that had white collar jobs. We have blue collar living into that now. Rich people have always had long lives. Romans lived into the 80s.

Good point.

I'm still for term limits for all appointed and elected positions in government.
