The speaker of the House is in no hurry to recall anyone to get money approved to help the folk that are going to get hit with a second hurricane. Isn’t he precious? We will be back after the election, and wouldn’t he feel stupid if the election took all of the republican candidates off the rolls of elected. If they lose the majority he will not be speaker anymore. Maybe he is counting on that for a couple of reasons. One is so they can blame the democrats for failing to do their job and the other is that he is just too stupid to know what to do.
This is the type of situation that needs to have a backup plan as to how to handle it. Logic and common sense as well as the knowledge that people are in need of support should be all the reasons needed to come do your job.
We are, of course, forgetting that the republican party and the heritage foundation are hoping that they will win in Nov and then they can destroy the government altogether. Make it small enough to take it in the bathroom and drown it in the tub.
Careful for what you wish for. The French nobility thought they could run the country by having lavish parties and ignoring everything else. They literally lost their heads over that decision. Our rather arrogant 1% think that money will insure their place in the world. They too could lose their heads with project 2025 as the citizens will turn on them just as the French did.
Our various state legislators that have gone out of their way to put into law some very dragonian rules will end up paying a price for that as well. When there are some shake ups in the courts that make it easier to do so I would predict some wrongful death suits that will cost these ignorant bastards dearly. Even the federal courts need to be taken to task and be put on notice that laws are passed for the good of the populace not just a select group of individuals. The basic rule should be to do no harm, that is hardly the case with the abortion rules, bump stocks and some of the other crap that has been dumped on our society.
Term limits need to be put in place at all levels of elected and or appointed officials. If a candidate lies during a confirmation hearing, as in says they will not do something and then goes and does it, they should be removed and prosecuted like anyone else that lies under oath. The oath needs to be to uphold and protect the Constitution, never mind the bible, your faith is your business not the law of the land.
We need to roll back some laws that put the common citizen at a disadvantage. When it comes to running for office or holding office, intelligence, common sense, and decency should be the traits we look for, not how much money they have. The lack of integrity is aptly demonstrated by how many of our elected representatives become very wealthy in a short period of time, whether it is called a bribe, a gift, or a tip is meaningless, it still indicates bought and paid for.
Government has for a long time had a very bad reputation and that is because far too many of those that have managed to get elected are the ones with only self serving motivation as their goal, not doing what they were elected to do. They have given themselves golden parachutes so that if they lose and election they are set for life. The person on the street has no way to censure these people once they are in the system and that needs to change. Hopefully the next few years will see positive administrative goals not the death and destruction of our nation.
