The nation is again being held hostage as the republican party under Trumps (he is at present a private citizen with only personal interest) orders to sink the entire country or give him what he wants. This is absolute lunacy and anyone with a brain knows it.
The law they are making a fuss over already exists, they just want a way to stop people from voting so they are twisting another requirement into the language of the order. Everyone of the people that are putting us at risk should not be reelected and should have all of their benefits stripped as they leave. They should also be banned on pain of imprisonment from becoming beltway bandits, or lobbyists.
It seems that we have this out and out conflict between parties and we the people are powerless to do anything about it. The project 2025 has a listing of all the requirements they think are necessary to become a civil servant. A code of ethics is no doubt included in the description, none of the points of the description or points of ethics are met by Trump. We need a set of standards to put people in office. They need to have a list of parameters they must follow and violations should be punishable by determination of employment. Government is a business and it needs to run like one.
To enlist in the military and have the opportunity to select a career choice you must meet certain requirements. Your intelligence is tested to see if you are capable of the job, your background is investigated to make sure you are trustworthy, and of course, you have to be physically fit. To be employed in the highest ranks of our government all you have to be is capable of getting enough money together to campaign. No one checks the rest of the stuff and as a result we have idiots and less than honest people in the House, the Senate and the Supreme Court, and another is trying to get into the Presidency.
We seem to have the system built backwards, a soldier that carries a rifle into battle has to have a better character rating than your representative in Congress. No wonder people don’t trust the government. It is a case of when you have the money to get elected then you run for office. Then when something major happens in your region back home, you have the money to take a vacation in Mexico till the power is back home and the mess is cleaned up. Perish the thought that you should be there helping get things done.
It is time to start the process of putting people in office that wish to represent the people. They need to be intelligent and willing to compromise for the greater good, not just stubborn and obnoxious to get their way. Governance has a limit as to how far into the lives of the people legislating can go, and that limit is set by where helping and uplifting end and interfering begin.
The laws we have established are all telling us what not to do, like the 10 Commandments tell us what not to do, proving they were written by man on God. A deity that is powerful enough to do all that is attributed to him would be giving guidance to encourage joy and unity, such as Love Thy Neighbor, not negatives all the time. Positive approach methods do not teach hate or evil or divisiveness so why are we listening to all that from someone that thinks of himself as a God?
