And therefore we the people are, we keep sending the same corrupt shite bags to Washington that are blowing trillions of dollars on transgender underwater basket weaving in Uruguay and funding rags like Politico.

They arent even looking at the expenditures.

They all become multi-millionaires, theyre almost wholly corrupt.

You’re absolutely right.

But how do we fix it? CA is never gonna vote out Pencil Neck. Schumer and AOC NY.

What are Red States supposed to do?

When was the last time Congress passed a true budget and not a continuing resolution.

Trump should veto any CR sent to his desk. Make Congress do their job

Congress spends most of their time calling people for money. Force them to only spend one afternoon a week shaking people down instead of 4 or 5

Which has been a problem in our government. The people elected most often love giving away shite so they keep their job driving the other purse holders to react, usually resulting in more spending. The cycle is showing cracks with the new and improved Trump admin but he loves to spend as well.

Do you think people vote these people in decade after decade? To me, its always been a mathematical impossibility that some of these members keep getting reElected for generations and thats even taking into account how many morons might possibly live there

Vote in trump and let Doge uncover the corruption. 3/4 of congress will be prosecuted. Work from there. It’s our best hope for saving this country. Corrupt judges and govt employees will get caught up in this also. Purge dc.

You are 100% correct. We the people are responsible for the condition of our nation.
We were told that our votes didn't matter, that lie has been proven false. We the people MUST take seriously our responsibility to vote in proper government representation.
That's the basic truth.

Congress was and is more than happy to abrogate the hard work of legislating by passing it over to Executive Branch agencies that will promulgate Federal Regulations that have the force of law.

Congress wants LESS hard work and LESS controversial hard work. That's how you get Re-elected. You don't get re elected by doing controversial things such as trying to run down all of the waste in US FedGov spending.

This is true. That’s why it doesn’t matter who wins. They’re all corrupt. I don’t know what the solution is because historically that is just the nature of politicians. So I just go with whatever.

Like John Boehner said when he was speaker of the house. “ we don’t like messy”. Which is essentially code for go with the status quo. There’s the problem
