If you wish to understand a politician, do not ask what he says, find out what he wants! – Nietzsche (sort of)

I’m retired with a German Shepherd for a companion. I love animals, politics and law (not an atty) and fascinated by computers. I am a moral man who thinks that Luigi Mangione is a hero and I am sure that DJT is not Mr Rodgers.

  • @Kiernian @TubularTittyFrog Kiernian, sometimes a particular post sits in your brain without digesting properly. Yours is one of those for me.

    “good policy gets you voted out …” damn, laying an egg like that can’t be allowed to sit there unexplained!

    Your comment is the same " … restricting political advertising …"

    The voters are supposed to do that! When a candidate for office says something like “free daycare, free bus transportation” “I’ll be your retribution”, “you’ll never have to vote again” the voter is supposed to think and ask the questions, not just cheer them on!

    If the voters are incapable, democracy is not dead, like Fascism it should never be permitted!


  • @TubularTittyFrog The real tell is that there are 12,000 registered Lobbyists in DC. Their reporting reveals that in 2023 they distributed over $4Billion dollars to members of Congress from their special interest groups.

    Statistically when they leave Congress, they become Lobbyists and make in excess of 6 times what they made from the people!

    None of them are there to serve their constituents! Giving money directly to a Congressperson is “BRIBERY” but our Supreme Court says that giving it to a lobbyist and he gives it to a Congressperson is …

    FREE SPEECH and protected by the 1st Amendment! — crooked bastards, all of them!
