People continue to focus on this for the wrong reasons.

We have the single most heinous and Evil mass murder ever perpetrated, and you want to quibble about the casualty number. Fuck, cut it in half if it satisfies you. You're completely missing the point.

China will be saying your exact shit in its own defense before long. "It wasn't all that baaaaaad, you fucking crybabies! You INFLATED the number!"

Good grief.

Just thank goodness the republicans took control of the House, otherwise none of this factual information would be forthcoming.

ALWAYS insist on a split government.

I don't care about a SPLIT government. I want a smart and efficient government that does it's fucking job for the people of THIS country.
Which is - as little as possible.

You need a split government otherwise you have no checks and balances. Morons want one-party rule, "unity" and "getting things done."

The problem with the split party today is one party has been hijacked by the extreme left, and they don't want anything that doesn't align with their socialist/marxist agenda. Wokeness is the only thing they feel strongly about.

We've never had a more corrupt, perverse government than what we have today.

There is no unity or "getting things done" with those kind of people.

We just need common sense, and we will not get that with the types of politicians we have today (especially the people on the left)

This is why there has to be term limits. As long as their are career politicians, the masses here are doomed to suffer.

~yawn~

Really not thinking it through if you think that would change anything. The machine would easily adjust.
It might. I mean, they've already figured out to get puppet candidates elected anyway (people like Fetterman and Biden)

That said, it at least eliminates a % of it and may do a lot more than that. One of the big attractions for "career" politicians is knowing if they get there and stay there, they are likely to get extremely rich. If they cannot be career politicians and enrich themselves, then the people that do choose to run and get elected do so with the intent of what they were supposed to do all along, which is serve the greater good and help improve the country.

The majority (maybe even the vast majority) of people up there today couldn't give two shits less about the country or the American people.

Requires constitutional amendment and really all you're doing is increasing government, having the federal government tell me I can't vote for my reps and senators who've done a good job. Just because.

Our system is adversarial for a reason.

But they have term limits for Governors and Presidents though, don't they.

The Founding Father's never intended for people to go there for the majority of their life.

As for choosing to vite for the ones that do a good job, those are few and far between now. Like I said, the majority of them don't give two shits about you or me. They just wan their power and $$$$

Term limits should have happened a long time ago.

I'm with dbair on term limits but also think Dooms has a point where the parties will still manipulate the fuck out of whatever is in place.

Sounds like edicts and marching orders dont originate with the candidates but out of respective party headquarters so term limits or not, if they're just following orders, what changes?

That's state level. States are free to change it. It's got nothing to do with this.

They also never intended for the federal government to get so massive. So what? You want it still more powerful.

It's stupid and I for one sure am glad they made it near impossible to change. It's just a feelgood measure anyway. It's never going to happen.

Democrats cry "white supremacy" at COVID origins hearing as experts make scientific case for lab leak

No smoking gun, but theory is "warm to the touch" based on SARS-CoV-2 oddities, Democrat argues. Former CDC director says he was shut out of Fauci conversations to preserve "single narrative."

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House voted unanimously Friday to declassify U.S. intelligence information about the origins of COVID-19, a sweeping show of bipartisan support near the third anniversary of the start of the deadly pandemic.

The 419-0 vote was final approval of the bill, sending it to President Joe Biden’s desk to be signed into law.

Debate was brief and to the point: Americans have questions about how the deadly virus started and what can be done to prevent future outbreaks.

“The American public deserves answers to every aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Rep. Michael Turner, R-Ohio, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

That includes, he said, “how this virus was created and, specifically, whether it was a natural occurrence or was the result of a lab-related event.”
