I'm all for that. How do you get people with no interest in politics into political positions?


I've strongly considered trying but I know that I wouldn't play ball or their games. I have no interest in getting rich of off others. I've researched the local RNC and what's required but never made it past that point.

Hmmmm, no. No that won't do. Not at all. You really want to see corruption with our representatives? Pay them a shitty wage. Seriously, the salary they receive now actually isn't all that large relatively. Their wage is not what draws many of these swamp rats to Washington in any case. It's everything else that comes with being embedded in that elite class.

My suggestion? Have congress meet once a year. Or better yet, once every two years. Perhaps that's not realistic though. But neither is paying representatives $50k a year and expecting that'll bring in good, honest people.

For starters we go back to representatives that live in their own districts all of the time and each day they conduct business out of a local office and their constituents can stop by for visits most any time. When they screw us over they need to feel the heat and pressure of a face to face conversation from the ones they represent.

Makes sense to me. A citizen legislature. People not too tied to Washington. A smaller less intrusive government. We can dream, right?

President Trump versus Saul Alinsky
https://noqreport.com/2020/12/...versus-saul-alinsky/



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I don’t believe he actually has a choice. His role is to read the electoral votes, and break ties in the Senate. I don’t believe it’s written anywhere that he has to give final approval, or can override Congress accepting the electoral votes. Another false hope.

If the VP had this power, with all the evidence of fraud stacking up, it would likely be a bigger topic of discussion. He'd be hard pressed to certify if he didn't have to under the circumstances.

Unlike FOX, which seems to be shifting back to the 'Ol' Sleepy's gonna be Prez for sure,' Turley does seem to be very optimistic, to the point of being sensationalistic...

Hell to the yes! I've narrowed my reading intake down to about three or fewer sources and quit reading all the rest. I scroll past the walls of text most people post because they are usually opinion pieces from a blogger I've already chosen not to read. Don't read or watch any video's about the latest breaking bombshell of more fraud evidence. Stopped with all the experts who have a easy way to certify all the votes and who can straighten this whole mess out in a matter of days. L Lin Wood's Tweets have become over the top. He's going to put everyone in jail soon, real soon. He's beginning to sound more like a TV Evangelist.

I know what paths Trump has left to win this thing and after the DNI statement it does not look good imo. At this point I'm watching what Trump says and does because that's all that really matters. The rest has been noise for a long time now.

I like that idea.

But there has to be a way to keep them out phony board seats before and after holding office etc...

I would say our odds are better education voters. Low information voters are a big issue. Which is why the dems want the voting age reduced to 16.

Just for once I would like to see this become true. My Christmas wish would be that the Dems and RINOs get exposed for the POS humans they are and it finally takes root. I can't fathom the Bi-Har administration and the crap its going to pull.

Dunno, maybe the video on the previous page is right and this dynamic duo will screw up so bad , they'll sink their own ship. It's just that we are the unintended victims in the process.

I'm still holding out hope but its getting tough.

Another thought. 2021 is around the corner. Perhaps Bi-Har remains PEOTUS for the rest of this shitty year. Come January, the shit finally explodes and the Bi-Har team gets sent packing....

It would surprise me if it wasn’t, but I can’t hold that against Biden. Trump can’t control who supports him or sends him letters, and neither can Biden.

But if we want to hold the same standards, Biden should be asked twice a day (minimum) for the remainder of his life about whether or not he disavows that group.

I'm seeing internet chatter that Ruby Freeman has flipped. She is the mother of Shaye Moss. These two were identified in the Fulton County GA fraud investigation. Let's see if she squeals or gets Hillaried.
