Misleading title.

Liberals don't own shite over the rest of us but I would argue they are running and ruining the country...

Ensuring a Secure border is the #1 purpose of having a federal government, yes or no?

Liz Chaney says we can't have both Trump and the Constitution.

She provided zero background to help us understand her reasoning... I guess Butthurt would be her reasoning

Bro...

read this list above

do you really want Government in control of Healthcare?

What example of Government gives you any kind of warm fuzzy they can manage a 2 Trillion dollar industry?

Look at the Covid response as to your likely outcome with our government running HC

HC is not a function of government...

so, that's a no for me dawg

If the constitution was important to Liz Cheney she'd realize how f'd up the last election was. She's understand the concept of declared wars and of three branches of government. She would fight the Covid mandate tooth and nail because it is executive branch overreach. She would defend freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. She would know the powers not specifically given to congress belong to the states and the people.

Our rights are given by God, not liberals or anyone else. They are natural rights that you would have in the absence of government. We establish government with powers from the people to the government to maintain civilization. Our government has become abusive. More and more it tries to claim power from the people. So I want nothing from federal government but to provide the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty. Not take what I produce and redistribute it or tell me what to eat, what medicine to take and what my children need to be taught.

So G-d established the southern border of the US? He wants voter registration? He commanded social media platforms to enforce the first amendment?

Go down the OPs list and tell me which ones you think G-d cares about and why?

Term limits was a big issue in the 90's right? I was all for it.


Problem is Congress gave themselves automatic pay raises yearly plus other benefits.

I'm tired of seeing 30 yr pols who are 70+ yrs old. They are out of touch.

I’m interested in age limits for politicians.

We all agree you can be too young, and I think We’d all agree you can be too old.

I think the term limits would fix most of the issues like Pelosi being 82 and around DC since the Kennedy years

I mean that's beyond ridiculous..

Biden served 47 years before he became Asterisk President

I don’t think we’d want an exceptionally short term limit though, and I dont Want an 80 year old in office just because he got a late start in national politics.

But I do Kinda wanna keep it between 35-65.
