Great points. I’d also love for all corruption to be rooted out, but I just don’t believe one party is responsible for it and I think there’s mechanisms in place to prevent large swaths of corruption.What makes you think I don't want Patel & Bondi to investigate & root them out, for these supposed kickback or anything else? I believe some $ went missing in Ukraine, but doubt those people listed received it. I truly don't get why so many here immediately believe anything, absolutely anything, about those pols they despise. It's a Palovian response all the time. The last is what I'm sarcastic about.
I don't expect Bondi & Patel to find anything on this particular subject. And the screamers of fraud & kickbacks here won't believe it/be satisfied. That's because that's what they are. For them, government will always be corrupt no matter who is running it.
To me, the most reasonable explanation for the wealth in Congress is inside access to deals (Pelosi leads that list for me.), whether stock market or otherwise. Others marry into money like McConnell & Kerry. Are outrageous book deals kickback? Don't you think Vance made money off book sales increases after being nominated? What do you do about that?
Mistakes being made already imo. Never tell the enemy what you are about to do. Just wait until it is time to do it and then, POW, right in the kisser.
She probably has a crowd she pays to follow her at public appearances. I would NOT doubt it. She'd just put it on her campaign's credit card.....Cheering for the woman who overspent 1 BILLION dollars by 20 million dollars and still left her works high and dry.... Horrible people propped up by horrible people. Was she at this store looking for a job?

Dimocrats dominate the Fed government. Net, I believe they are highly responsible for the large majority of the corruption.Great points.

Dale Gribble is an awesome character, but when Dales outnumber the more rational Hanks then that’s when we have a problem.
Trump was set to fire many of those people at the end of his first tenure. I've read that he plans on doing that pretty soon in this term. Do you think firing 50k+ people, reevaluating the merit of the job, and then replacing them (hopefully though a meritocracy) will fix any preconceived problems? I know people on my side will be pissed, but do you think restarting at such a scale will be fruitful?Dimocrats dominate the Fed government.

First off, there's over 2M Fed employees. So 50K is nothing to me. Net, at 200K you're starting to get somewhere. The point is replacing them is unnecessary. Yes, making people do their dam jobs vs. not even coming in would be fruitful imo.Trump was set to fire many of those people at the end of his first tenure.

I actually don't know a lot about this policy, other than NOAA jobs will be at risk. I'm not going respond at something I don't know a lot about. So 200k jobs are going to be reformatted? If you have a quick link that explains some of this and can share that would be awesome. Or I could google it.First off, there's over 2M Fed employees. So 50K is nothing to me.

I bet she..........makes a hell of a sandwich....
My god you're dumb. He's saying wait for Jan 21st when Trump is inaugurated.Wrong again, though I take that date means something to you. I'm a Taurus.
So why don't you tell your butt-boy Mitch to get off his China ass and do something about it? He's only been in the Senate for forty years.So at this point, Pubs have 50.7% of all 2024 congressional votes. Looks like they will win only 220 seats. Even by proportional representation, that translates to 225 House seats, but being the majority, I'd expect that to be 230-235, even 240 given Dims have just 47.7% with rest going to minor candidates.
So why didn't the Pubs win more House seats? Two things to me.
One, Dims do a better job of gerrymandering their big population states plus Soros works against g-ming in only big Pub states.
But two, it comes back to allowing illegals being counted in the Census towards awarded House seats vs. just citizens or citizen plus green card holders. The illegals reside disproportionately in the likes of CA/NY/NJ/MA that gets them extra seats to the tune of 10-15. It's bs. If Congress doesn't change this system for the 2030 Census, then Pubs are wasting a huge chance to permanently change the balance of House power. JMO.
I don't know why this isn't a BFD. But hardly talked about.
by the time 2030 rolls around, California, northeast, and Illinois will have shrank so much that it won’t matter. I saw some numbers that even if the blue wall returns, it won’t be enough for democrats to win. They’re going by to have to find a more permanent blue state and I just don’t see one at the moment.So at this point, Pubs have 50.7% of all 2024 congressional votes.

It's clear he was an informant from the beginning. They had this guy on video trying to get people to go in when others were immediately saying no and calling him a fed. The FBI doesn't want that guy but uses geotracking to get a grandma to be sent to prison? GTFOH.
I'd love for congress to have to wear body cams like cops so any time a negotiation is discussed, you know exactly what's be lorded over others. You'd quickly see how much of everything is straight blackmail and extortion.i love most of trump’s picks so far but it’s going to be tough getting them confirmed, especially with rino thune now heading the senate. still shaking my head over that one.
LOL at Biden, sporting a POS "vanity press" paperback. 🤣 🤣 🤣Biden the Jew-hater.
I misinterpreted your original post. My bad.What makes you think I don't want Patel & Bondi to investigate & root them out, for these supposed kickback or anything else? I believe some $ went missing in Ukraine, but doubt those people listed received it. I truly don't get why so many here immediately believe anything, absolutely anything, about those pols they despise. It's a Palovian response all the time. The last is what I'm sarcastic about.
I don't expect Bondi & Patel to find anything on this particular subject. And the screamers of fraud & kickbacks here won't believe it/be satisfied. That's because that's what they are. For them, government will always be corrupt no matter who is running it.
To me, the most reasonable explanation for the wealth in Congress is inside access to deals (Pelosi leads that list for me.), whether stock market or otherwise. Others marry into money like McConnell & Kerry. Are outrageous book deals kickback? Don't you think Vance made money off book sales increases after being nominated? What do you do about that?
Well Trump’s DEA pick is about as bad as Kash Patel is good.
You & he are both DA's. Inauguration Day is Jan. 20. Now I'm supposed to figure out you're both that dumb much less what's he talking about? GD.My god you're dumb. He's saying wait for Jan 21st when Trump is inaugurated.
Sheesh you think everything's about you, son.
Does Mitch control the Senate, much less Congress?So why don't you tell your butt-boy Mitch to get off his China ass and do something about it? He's only been in the Senate for forty years.
Well the Labor Sec pick is pretty sh!tty too. But rest are either good or I don't know enough about to say.Well Trump’s DEA pick is about as bad as Kash Patel is good.
Yes. The United States was damn near TWICE as dominant in 1960 when it accounted for 40% of the entire world’s GDP.The US accounts for 25% of the entire world’s GDP. Has there ever been a country this dominant?
Ah, so when something positive happens Mitch gets the credit. When the GOP fails Mitch is somehow just another nobody.Does Mitch control the Senate, much less Congress?
