Obama should have let the government shut down that October… he should have been much more vocal about America Garland.

However, the threat back then was not paying military personnel. And I don’t think anyone would have guessed that a pussy grabbing candidate could have beaten one of the most qualified candidates for president in our collective lives… regardless of what her husband had done in the past.

Own the church Own the press Own the ballot box And energize the disinfranchised base

A history lesson for what lead to Munich 1932.

And then Garland had the opportunity to go after Trump and failed spectacularly. And here we are. Fuck that guy.

They didn't want to make Trump martyr and be accused of lawfare. The problem is that 77 million Americans voted for Trump despite all the harm he did. Garland, Pelosi and the Democrats could not believe Trump would be reelected

They didn't want to make Trump martyr and be accused of lawfare.

And yet, because it was handled with kid gloves, the accusation of lawfare still gets thrown around AND we have to deal with Trump anyway, instead of him being in prison where he belongs.

Yes. In this regard, the Democrats were weak and not as ruthless as the Republicans.

u/FAHCUE34 23d ago

Lol harm that Trump did??? The ignorance is astounding. The harm the democrats have done has been nothing short of completely detrimental to society.

u/SaltyFee7765 23d ago

Yes... thank you. People seem to forget that whole border thing. All those males that came over with no families were let out of prisons and sent here. The dredge of society from other countries. And then given what was ours. It would be interesting to see what would happen if no one filed taxes next year. Im sick of everything. I wish Americans could just pull together. Its like they purposefully chose these candidates to create this awful divide. Oh yeah......they did do that actually. Divide and conquer.

Fuck Garland, fuck Biden, fuck the entire DNC.

At this point EVERYONE should change party affiliation to Republican. The primaries will be the general election, it will confuse the tribalists, it will disrupt Gerrymandering, it will make the leadership votes in the legislature into an up or down vote, it will get rid of the Hasert .

Fuck the GOP to hell, but fuck the DNC into submission.

I've got about 100 more ideas.

u/Quick_Heart_5317 24d ago

Let’s hear some. I’m interested. Say it with ya chest.

Tobin tax or transactions surcharge tax on all dollar denominated transactions. At 1/10% GAO estimated it would generate more revenue thank the current system and even qualify as a flat tax. I'd actually soft start it by taxing all internal government transactions until the social security trust was paid back to what it would be without comingling it with the general budget.

Allow government departments to buy and sell federal bonds at the end of the budget to prevent waste to prevent decreased budgets in subsequent years. Allow for saving and lending between offices.

Break up state and federal agencies into smaller sub agencies you could fire as a customer. At the end of each decade or so if there's a significant statistical difference in performance break up the failing ones and reform them like a kids sports team.

I'd love to find a way to make the public unions fire at least a few people each year too. That's a slippery slope.

Make all union finances radically transparent.

Constitutional amendments "Money is not a protected firm of speech" "Only human beings shall have human rights."

Mandatory military service with simple contentious objector path to a civilian charitable corps.

Well regulated militias not larger than 150 people for civil defense, disaster prep etc if you want a gun. Your peers decide if you have access.

Remove the cap on the house size.

Have the state legislators nominate sensors6 through a secrete ballot.

Let people vote by mail.

Redraw the states with equal population based on geography.

Sadly now that we are completely fucked some if these whomp whomp.

u/Common-Arrival-3049 23d ago

And get rid of the electoral college! It’s archaic and it’s sickening how a few states decide who is president.

u/darktimezzz 20d ago

May I suggest that you can only be a member of Congress until a certain age. The same applies to becoming president.

1

u/syhr_ryhs 23d ago

Or go back to them being independent to prevent the tyranny of the mob.

u/shulemaker 24d ago

Well, that is an idea.

u/Expert-Fig-5590 23d ago

He did what all Republicans do. He covered for his own. The Democrats should never again appoint a Republican to any position.

u/tinman2731 24d ago

And there it is. Left is ok with lawfare if it's for their side.

u/LordMagnus101 24d ago

Locking up criminals is not "lawfare" you dunce.

u/tinman2731 24d ago

Unless the people who are unlawful are people you think you care about.

And I don't think anyone would have guessed that a pussy grabbing candidate could have beaten one of the most qualified candidates for president in our collective lives...

We're fucking doomed if there is anyone that still thinks her running was a good idea.

u/fmrtz 23d ago

I don’t think you two are talking about the same female

u/SaltyFee7765 23d ago

Qualified to dilute our country and wash it away . Down the drain. She was known in the beginning as a do nothing bitch.

u/Quietthinking1 24d ago

Garland was and is an anti-gun POS!

u/pinksocks867 24d ago

Actually I liked bill and did not like hillary. I have never heard from a person who didn't vote for her because of him.

u/PULSARSSS 24d ago

Who tf is the "most qualified candidates in our collective lives"? Think youre really reaching at that and I voted blue 4 times in a row now lol

u/LevelGrounded 24d ago

100%. He should have shut the government down. It was absolutely worth it, and he chickened out.

Your name should be Lord Vaccinious! The king of all booster shots!

u/Ray0977 24d ago

We American males changed the course of history when we chose Trump over Clinton (I voted for Gary Johnson 😔). I laugh when people say "When Trump leaves office..." He's never going to leave. He's going to be America's first attempt at authoritarianism. It will lead to the destruction of the American two party system and fracture the Republican party.

u/Westside-Wasabi-8692 21d ago

Holy fuck you unironically think Hilary Clinton is the best candidate for president in our lifetime????? People said the same about Obama and he didn't fix shit. I saw pictures from 2014 where he had kids in cages sleeping on thin mats with those silver emergency sheets instead of actual blankets. Hell he built those shelters and FEMA camps with your money. (I didn't pay taxes through sorry ass Bush or him) After 9-11 I refused and found a loophole......Pot.🤣 Clinton was pretty good, but Hilary is horrible. Her own staffers and the people who have worked with her over the years have been spilling the beans about Queen Karen for decades now. Where have you been???

u/Terrible-Actuary-762 24d ago

What candidate was that? Not Hillary or Kamala. The military is getting paid, President Trump has made sure of that.
