  1. Normally I wouldnt but the centralized power that can never be allowed to go to someone else has to stop.
  2. They just need to not use the BP so hard all the time. If they can get 7 like yesterday on the regular that should be good.
  3. There are chips that are owed so old legislators stick around to keep cashing them. It is not like they bring a damned thing to the office now. Diane Feinstein is #1 for that now. In the past it was Strom Thurmon. What does a 100 yr old senator bring to help the electorate?
  4. Parties box out some of their own. The progressives are. Look how they took Katie Porter's committee seat after she skewered business leaders. Then I look at what Beohner is saying in his book about many in his caucus dont want to do any work.
  5. They won't contend but they should be interesting.
  6. Def popular vote. Prob 75 is the age limit. If you are elected at say 73 you can fill out that term. Past that you cannot be on the ballot. An addendum to this is at a certain age like 70 some cognitive tests are begun. If you fail you have to resign. Diane Feinstein has some kind of dementia. Now reporting has come out that she had it the last time she ran for office. The hangers on kept quiet bc she is their meal ticket. I would like to add another couple ideas. The person running for office, their spouse, kids, siblings, and parents need to divest or put their holdings in a fully blind trust. No more using your office to shoot contracts to yourself. No more taking Intel from office and buying and selling stock that help you. That is insider trading and justice should find them and throw them in prison. No more revolving door from govt to industry. You take being a senator and then go the npaa to use your contacts to get stuff for your new employer as an example. Also no treasury sec to go back to Goldman.
  7. Glad you have come to your senses. The way I understand it the dems went to the dark side of pro oligarchy in the 70s when they decided we can get that no at too. At times we have had elected officials who work for voters. Most of the time ike did. Fdr did. Teddy did. Some in Congress have. The enrichment from elected office thing is relatively new. What I want to see is the effective end of the electoral college. I want either a mechanism to allow a min of 5 parties to be relevant or my preference no parties at all. I also want term limits in Congress and scotus. I want age limits in all 3 branches. I want money out of politics and biblically financed elections. With these changes all the problems will be settled out on their own.
  8. Hope she find a herself in federal prison. Maybe she can find a girlfriend.
  9. You can't fix that. You have to allow Darwin to take his wards.
  10. Wouldn't it be antipsychotics? They are completely insane.
  11. From the day he walked in he has destroyed the culture of the team. I remember a secretary who had been working for the team for 20+ yrs was fired day one. Lots of other longtime staffers were too. Snyder is toxic and the league should strip him of ownership.

  23. http://daystune.com/2015/11/whats-the-song-on-the-apple-ipad-pro-commercial-a-great-big-universe/ This is the ad for the new Ipad. I was thinking it was Alabama Shakes and after looking it up was right. It is a damn interesting song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faG8RiaANek This is the official vid for the song.
