Teamwork makes the dream work.

It went off the rails as soon as case numbers got tied to federal dollars coming in. Giving cities, counties and states big incentive to over-report.

Last 100 degree day of the summer hopefully. 76 degrees here in my house though.

Hershel weighed in last night for the RNC.

NCAA Div 2 football season is postponed until winter, but that doesn't stop my West Texas A&M Buffaloes - although the conference we're in has also postponed everything and our conference opponents are all shut down, WE are going to have four home games this fall anyway. Love it! FOOT-BALLLLLL

More specifically, I think it's his labia.

Another troll strike by me!

The devil is in the details with this too. I oppose it offhand, it's totalitarian. But just for the sake of exercise, who would set the criteria? How would voter qualification be determined? What questions exactly, would be on what I assume you're proposing as a test? How often and by what means...

This does too. The individual voter's rights to choose who he wants to represent him in Congress. Without undue federal restriction. Look, our founders and framers debated this for months and came to the conclusion together, to make term limits for representation very hard to get. I'm not...

Same argument the anti gun crowd uses against the 2nd amendment. Same argument creeping up lately, on the 1st amendment as well. What they DID foresee is that there are some things so vital and important they made them very hard to ever get done. Term limits is one of those. They foresaw...

The ONLY thing in this vein I would be in favor of, is modifying the 17th Amendment taking away 6 year terms for senators and making it two just like representatives have. Give the people more frequent ballot might. More chances to boot scum out. Hell, 6 years think about it - most voters don't...

Nobody said they were. But the consensus was, this right needs to be protected and they took steps to do so. Just like they did for the 1st and 2nd Amendments. There wasn't universal agreement on those either. He's never going to stop trotting out a reliable populist notion. Read his book...

It might shock you to learn that this year we have had EIGHT incumbents LOSE their renomination - their own party primary ousted them! The fucking system is working and the people ARE empowered to kick bums out if they so choose!

I thank the founders and framers every day, for having the foresight to make populist shit like this really really hard to ever accomplish. You should read in the federalist papers why our founders believed it was of paramount importance, not to have term limits for locally elected...

You would have to include in your new amendment, a repeal of the 17th Amendment. Unless of course you still want to keep 6 year terms for senators? You want to make it 4 years for representatives instead of the two they get now? It feels like I'm talking to a 12 year-old. It's not nearly as...

Not relevant. That's the executive, not the legislative branch. It's not even the same topic. Nice try at deflection though. You haven't given this any amount of thought at all. You don't know how it would be done, you don't even know the hurdles there are in getting it done. And you have no...

Then it shouldn't be any problem for you to share some details of what it would look like. For example would you repeal the 17th Amendment while you're at it?

NO specifics were offered and there's still none. My question from earlier you skipped, details of how it would look.. Nobody's really done ANY real work to sell it. It's only ever been just a useless buzzword. It's just populist crap, sounds good to people until they actually study it.

CENTURIES I tell you! LOL Nice job googling term limits for the first time. Keep reading.
