Romney one if the few true Republicans left in the Senate

this is what makes me sad is that two young, extremely smart women cannot even hardly gain a nod from their respective parties. Politics is so dirty, so deep rooted, they will never make it and will never get to that top spot. Its almost like they are too rational, too fitting for the job and that is really scary.

Trump, Romney, Rubio, Cruz, DeSantis, Harris, Biden, Warren, Abrams, Buttigieg....they are all looney toons that are too deep in the swamp. I would say that even Trump is too deep now and as time marches on and more people get in his ear from the Repubican party, it will get worst, plus he is like 90 years old.

I just do not like the trajectory that we are on with American politics.

I was watching the Nat Geo special on Air Force One and good lord, can we please just go back to Clinton, Bush, Obama (yes, I said it) and actually having some energy around this Country and get back to normal?

Meh, it just keeps getting worse.

You know when you see something and you know it's just "not right", but there's nothing you can do. And it gets worse and worse. And there's still nothing you can do. A decade goes by, then two. At some point the reason you've known something was "not right" actually becomes the disaster you hoped would not happen.

The problem is most people, the VAST majority, think their party, their candidate, someone with experience, or says whatever they agree with, they think they (beit a dem nutjob, moderate dem, pub nutjob, or moderate pub) will "fix" the problem. And no one wants to face the reality that fixing the problem causes pain, which is why the problem continues on and on. It's why spending has never been cut. It's been cut plenty in my household. Plenty in most people's households. No one has ever gone 40 years without spending less. No country has had a GDP rise consistently, almost as if planned and controlled, for 40 years. Except.....yeah, the problem.

Our problems are structural, not political. But that will never be understood until the problem becomes a full blown disaster and there is pain. If term limits for Congress and a balanced budget amendment would have been passed, either through Article V or by Congress (never happen), and that was done way back when I graduated high school in 1994, we would be in a very different place today. Because that's how long people have been looking at something they know is "not right", probably longer really. And with bipartisan sunshine being blown up our ##### by dems and pubs, no one has voted for pain. Republicans want less taxes to keep more of their money (there's a cost), dems want to spend into oblivion buying votes (there's a cost). No one wants to pay. No one votes for someone who promises them LESS. No one wants to hear the truth.

Say what you want to about the American people, but with our leadership now, under Trump, under Obama, under Bush, Under Clinton, really since Reagan when this all started, with our leadership in Washington we can't be the greatest country on Earth. Even going nuclear and electing Donald Trump, that doesn't fix the problem. It's structural, not political. Our founding fathers feared the federal government we have now, and for very good reason.

Haley and Gabbard are screwed

I thinks it’s too early to tell.

OK, who hacked Pawterski's account?***

Re: While Noem is out shooting the birds

Dead birds are also grounded.***

I find it odd that you wrapped Romney in the same...

He's a RINO?***

No...

The GOP filed for divorce from Conservatism in 2015,

Romney is a RINO? That is as laughable as it is...

Meh, it just keeps getting worse.

+1 for the Clinton peeking gif***

Not sure what that group of people has in common***

Haley is just another neocon, so good riddance. Gabbard

Haley a neocon?

She's an "Israel firster"

Trump was a neocon, too?

Re: Trump was a neocon, too?

Well thats proof enough for me!

They paid her at least $300k for her service....

Re: She's an "Israel firster"

Why do you assume they won’t get a fair shake?
