Things that made you smile today (Political Version)

[Parkbandit]

There is benefit for people being in the game a long time and public service as a career in that they know what they are doing, but that said any particular office should be limited to 2-3 terms and then say 10-12 years between being able to take the seat up again(does not apply to executive). We can’t have committees for oversight be completely redone every few years by new people with no experience, but the whole oversight done by people elected in and not professional investigators never made much sense. There are two sides to the coin and it is not easy to have a solution come to bear by simple changes.

Many states have term limits for the governor. We have term limits for the President.

And 2 terms for Senate and 3 terms for House is MORE than enough.. these elections don't immediately get rid of every single member of Congress every 2 years.. there is plenty of people in Congress that will carry on the business OF THE PEOPLE while they get the new members up to speed.

This is the kind of immigrant we need more of.

Methais, we spoke earlier about the far left wing democrats pushing way moderates and left leaning doemocrats.
It also goes both ways.

Trump is also pushing conservatives away.

Why would oversight committees have to be completely redone? You have senior members, and you have junior members that rotate into the senior positions as the seniors move out. 2-4 years isn't some incredibly brief time, no matter what the politicians will say when they don't do anything constructive. Even if they did need to be completely redone, why couldn't a system be implemented that bridged the gap, like some neutral party responsible for the training/getting up to speed of new members? Just because it's "difficult" or "the way it's been done" doesn't mean we shouldn't look at a different way of doing it. And what do they do now when several of them don't get re-elected? Less likely in the Senate due to staggered elections and 6 year terms, but quite likely in the House where they are up for re-election every 2 years.

He's pushing everyone away, and those that remain clinging to him need re-education. Or some kind of punitive result that won't just slap them back into the shadows from whence they came a skulkin.

Who would have thought Bhaalizmo was a card carrying communist?

Oh wait, everyone.

Wait, I thought I was a Socialist? Or a Liberal? I can't keep straight who I am when you keep switching my arbitrary labels to try to keep your worldview in order.

Good thing your opinions don't matter in the real world. People would have only so many things they could be. It'd be boring as fuck.

You aren't a Liberal, you are a Leftist. The rest lead down the same path.

I don't think I've ever called you a socialist. What was that about making up shit other people say?

You aren’t even sure if you’ve called him a socialist or not, yet you can say he was making it up? Maybe you should get your facts first before you make dumb ass claims.
And yes, in multiple rants you’ve had, you’ve called all left wing people socialist etc etc, which includes him.
