With all due respect , we're both beating the same drum . I've always asked myself. What makes someone spend millions of dollars to take a job that only pays a $180.000 a year.

I also don't mean any disrespect. I simply think that we need to get rid of all politicians and start fresh. The "sacrifice" of them giving up their millions of dollars isn't a true sacrifice because most of them have their money stocked into assets anyway. You are right though, some are good.

The problem is that we don't have enough people in the USA who are intelligent enough to differentiate between those who are fully corrupt, those who are corrupt but still "say" the right things, those who are weaponized incompetence, and those who actually are decent people. So everyone out.

For instance, I personally LIKE AOC and Sanders. I also LIKE Crockett. That said, before I trust them, I have concerns. Sanders folding during Trump 1 is a huge red flag. Crockett getting more big money than small money is a huge red flag. AOC I have concerns about how polarized she is.

Liking them though doesn't put them above reproach even if my personal opinion agrees with them. Liking them and supporting a lot of their agenda does NOT automatically mean that they are not corrupt or that they ARE trustworthy. We should investigate that.

Yes - and what I am saying is to chop off all the dicks so you can stop getting fucked.

I'm quite crass and vulgar so you have no issues being as wild and crazy as you like speaking with me. I have seen a lot of shit in my life. I don't take language personally.

Perhaps if representatives only got paid the average middle class families income of the state they represent and couldn't trade stock while in office you would See a change. Unfortunately, you're elected representatives would have to vote on that.

And that's why we clean house first - the only gift the GOP has given us is that there will never be as good a time to do this.
