We must defend the second amendment at all costs. Some days I think it’s the only thing keep us from total tyranny.
Also not surprising. In fact, the one thing you can consistently count on is Republican timidity and weakness in the face of power grabs.
Term limits isn’t a panacea. California implemented them in the ‘90s. For about 5 minutes, the GOP got control of the Assembly, and then in 1996, they lost it and the state has peddled to the left of Stalin and Mao ever since.
You’ve got to get rid of the Derp State people backing these revolving door of leftist despots. The armies of bureaucrats employed forever and serving the cause of tyranny. The gubmint union employees that have sucked the state dry.
Yeah, as K.T. MCFarland said, these permanent fixtures just sit around and say to themselves about any administration, “I was here before you came, and after you leave I’ll still be here.” And they know it’s the truth. So frustrating.
I’ve advocated for some time going back to the patronage system. Civil service has only created armies and armies of leftist elites rotting the entire government from within like termites. Bring in your own people at the start of an administration all the way down to janitor, and out they go in 4 or 8 years. No pensions and all that other crap.
Going to work for the government meant a temporary sacrifice for yourself. Now people go there to get rich, permanent benefits and enact a radical agenda and to be permanently insulated from the ups and downs of the economic cycle. This is so far removed from what the Founders wanted. It’s a tyranny that a revolution should’ve been fought over to remove. Trillions of dollars all over this insanity.
Well put.
Govt workers used to sacrifice higher pay for golden benefits and job security, now they have all 3 in an incredibly bloated giant parasite.
DOJ alone > 100K employees. Seriously?
Agreed. This could not possibly be constitutional. If the critters want to do remote voting from their states, I think that would be okay...but just handing over your vote to the party boss aint gonna fly.
The problem is that theyre scared to stay in their states and vote from them because they know that now, especially, most people hate them and would be marching in front of the houses of the Congress critters...if they actually lived and worked there.
Thank you! Don’t know what I was drinking...ur...thinking.
I didn’t know what the vote was either and it took awhile to find the vote for some reason.
And it’s a nice and neat little racket, even at the state level, that you can’t cut or trim anything. If you try, you’ll have a Derper “Judge” order spending and employees reinstated. The Founding Fathers would be crying out to us, “Why haven’t you gotten rid of this tyranny ?”
Yes.
I completely misread the article. Second time today. I hate getting old.
I hear ya, but it’s better than the alternative.
Last year about this time I said the definition of old in years is 78 but in a week or so I may reassess that to 79. :^)
R U Worried Yet??
Happy birthday!
I’ve heard that idea before - they also need to stay in DORMITORIES - not hotels - so that all have equal digs for the duration of the session. Then, they won’t have to take bribes to survive in DC.
Government Unions. thank you JFK:
Executive Order 10988 is a United States presidential executive order issued by President John F. Kennedy on January 17, 1962 that recognized the right of federal employees to collective bargaining.
When Democrats enact an executive order no judge can rule it unconstitutional like they do for Pres. Trump.
The Federal Government and most governments in the tree are worthless. The system as designed is fine. The people who run it and abused it need to be purged.

ILLEGAL and UNNEEDED. A criminal swindle in the making.
Proxy ???? SO They can’t Phone it in themselves ?? - BETTER - Video conference the Vote in (as MORE proof that THEY actually cast the ballot themselves)??
Having them actually BE THERE - Its what is proscribed.
Grounds for finding any action taken in such a way as UnConstitutional and thus ILLEGAL and NULL AND VOID.
Pelosi should be removed IMMEDIATELY for even allowing anything like this.
Time for these Crisis-Mongers to face the music for dangerous actions against The People Of The United States and the Constitution.
The Constitutional Reformation Clock ticks another 15 seconds closer to Midnight.

This is what vote by mail is about.
The queen ant wants proxies from all registered democrats and independents
