The movie was called Sahara. Came out 2005.

I’m aware. Always enjoy watching the movie even though it got low ratings.

Decent cast, love Steve Zahn.

I saw this in a movie once. Was used to incinerate evidence about a company dumping chemical waste into some African nation’s water table.

The movie has the usual tropes and stereotypes — evil white European mastermind, corrupt black military leaders, female environmental do-gooder, white savior played by Matthew McConaughey.

young 73 year old.

No such thing exists in the workforce, let along Congress.

There’s a reason 66.10 is the retirement age, yet we have Members of Congress in their 80s and 90s. Clown show.

Hahaha. Far from it. But I can tell you I don’t want a septuagenarian to be my Senator. Don’t need another 70+ year old thinking he knows what’s best for me. Only POTUS can be 70+ [sarcasm, nerds].

Fleming…dumb arse Louisiana electorate.

This is usually the precursor to an incredibly stupid hypothetical. And after reading what you wrote…checks out.

huge black market for cigarettes to avoid taxes


What is the ratio comparison of taxed cigarettes to bootleg cigarettes? 100K to 1? IMO, they should tax the shite out of it to pay for our shitty infrastructure, especially in Louisiana.

Want to “criminalize” public consumption? $500 fine for 1st offense, $1000 for every repeat with a $1000 escalator after.

And before the libertarians come out to play, I don’t care what you do in your home or designated smoking location.

Another wasted vote for Louisiana.

Sure wish y’all would learn about politics rather than screaming “conservative” like a typical Low IQ voter.

Then you’ll bitch about old arse Mitch McConnell having brain farts on TV, yet elect a man who, after serving, will be almost as old as Mitch when the dementia set in.

You obviously don’t understand how the Senate works. Maybe go back to HS and take a civics class.
quote:

Better vote for Fleming then

Vote for the 74 year old, then scream about septuagenarians being out of touch with the average voter.

The Louisiana electorate is chock full of idiots.

ATL, Houston to that list, too.


Never been to one’s in ATL, Houston was a blast but sketchy AF.
It’s a form letter aka a constituent response letter. Usually a response to an email or actual letter. Mass mail. While he’s gives an opinion, it doesn’t declare how he will vote. Means nothing.

Take it from someone who knows.

It’s not clout-chasing; rather Scone can be fricking annoying more times than not.

Don’t use piss poor math skills and hyperbole to sell your stupid narrative against term limits.

You’re so concerned less than 2% of retired or former Members of Congress may take positions in an Administration, that you’d sacrifice having the likes of Grassley, McConnell, Schumer, Pelosi and several other members who have been in Congress for 30-40 years to continue that tradition.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a dumber argument AGAINST term limits. Do yourself a favor is stay off the Poli Board. This ain’t for you. Try the Soccer or Book Boards.
quote:

The problem isn't Congress.

Jesus. Ever been to Congress, let alone DC??

The problem 100% starts with Congress and if you can’t see that, you’re not paying attention. When was the last time appropriation bills were passed into law before September 30th? How many Congresses will it take to pass permitting reform. How many bills get introduced that don’t accomplish anything of substance for the American people? (Hint: 1000s)

The power accumulated in Congress far exceeds anything created in the Federal government (on the staff level). Confirmed nominees and political appointees only have “power” for the time they’re in the seat or the length of the Administration’s duration (4/8 years).

There’s zero correlation between thinning the herd in Congress with term limits and increasing the number of former Members heading into an Administration’s ranks.

FYSA — Kerry and Clinton were both elected Senators in the 2000s. Maybe read about Obama to understand why both served as SOS.

IMO Congress is a cesspool filled with grandparents and great grandparents, social media morons, people who cannot do anything else and are corrupted (by the system), and power-hungry narcissists who see the prospect of being a Member as greater than selling insurance in some podunk town and whose illustrious and/or exaggerated previous career is enough to get them elected to Congress by morons (in both parties).
quote:

Will not solve the problem.

Tell me you’ve never worked in Congress without telling me you never worked in Congress.

If it’s not the Members, then it’s the staffers. Ridiculous excuse.

With Member turnover, you’ll have staff turnover; therefore, you trade unfettered power (Pelosi and staff) for pragmatism (staffers become experts knowing riding coattails of boss has limitations). But sure, you’ll never eliminate career staffers, but those numbers are far and few between.
quote:

Term limits

Max 12 years in the House (6 terms)
Max 12 years in the Senate (2 terms)
House can elevate to Senate, Senate cannot move to House
6 year Committee Assignments in both Chambers; Committee Leadership chosen by blind draw, Member cannot serve in Committee Leadership more than two years (in both chambers).
Chamber Leadership changes every six years.

Based on my perusing of this and other boards…my guess is thousands if not tens of thousands.

The idiocy of the vast majority of posters is astonishing.
