@davidtoddmccarty Also career politicians should not be a thing. No one should be running things for decades. !!

So. Any way we can move "term limits" to the top of the list?

“To have a seat in the Senate, you have to raise $14,000 a day for six years. And if you win, that entire cycle starts all over again. So if you win, these politicians are spending 70 percent of their time fundraising instead of working for us, the American people.”

Our lobbying politicians are a plague on America. They’re self enriching, power hungry parasites

@uspolitics Term limits should take care of the age issue. But we need a constitutional amendment to get that. Term limits are popular across party lines, so maybe we could also include SCOTUS term limits to get people interested. We could also set the number of justices.

McConnell plans on serving the rest of this Congress. *Good: bc Thune & Cornyn are more MAGA -no relationship with Biden. Ironic, he's kept Feinstein from retiring bc he won't let Schumer replace her. He's been willing, at times, to be a leg. partner +bulwark to Trump & the Hill’s MAGA ailments -Biden-McConnell relationship goes back decades -dual service in the Sen., compromises along the way & a guard against some of the more Trumpian forces within the GOP. politico.com/news/2023/07/27/w

Ageing in place for decades is the problem, not older representatives and officials per se.

I'm NOT happy with officials staying in power forever (and it's always the absolute worst ones). anyone??

But I'm ALSO pretty ticked off about power consolidation tactics being used as an excuse for blatant and .

Filing a legal case with false statements should be against the law. And yet the supreme court rules on a completely made up case by a person who lied.Had no case at all and they rule in her favor. One of the many reasons for term limits for supreme court justices.
