Ammon Bundy recently came out as pro Black Lives Matter. Fwiw.
This right here.
For something to pass through the house and senate it has to be something they can agree on.
That doesnt happen anymore.
If the Republicans want it, the dems wont even read it, they automatically disagree and refuse to vote.....and vice versa with the dems proposals.
Then, heaven forbid Trump wants something. 100% of dems instantly and in concert scream RACIST!!!
Leaving laws to congress right now will go nowhere. Both sides immediately and very loudly dismiss anything proposed by the other side.

To be honest, we could have stopped passing new criminal law altogether 50 years ago and we'd be better off for it.
When you're digging your self into a hole the first thing to do is put down the shovel.
We are in a very deep hole at this point.
So, gridlock in Washington is a good thing.

Yep
But in order to repeal those laws, congress has to agree. So we are back at square one.
We just need a clean sweep and start over. Fire every politician from local city council to POTUS.
They are all beyond fixing.
Then pay politicians with room and board, food, a car and a small weekly salary....$200 or so.
They all get4-6 years, then youre out.

Late for the conversation (as usual) ....
Executive Orders are policy statements for the executive branch of government only. They are non-binding to private citizens. BUT ... they do effect private citizens when they HAVE to interact with government (ie - liqueur license, hair license, drivers license, etc.). In that regard, the current resident douche bag in Albany can and does make life extremely difficult for all of us.

It's already being rolled out. They make people wear masks, just replace masks with the vaccine. Forced compliance.
Well played
Shameful that "We the people" don't get a say in this.

And they won't order you to get the vaccine.
They will just order every business in the country not to deal with you if you don't.
And shut off your power and water.

Remember Obama - "I have a phone and a pen". Even he wasn't the first to "I'm the king of..."
The acceleration is sickening. If the presidents feel like they can sidestep congress whenever they don't agree, there will soon be no purpose in a congress and we will have dictatorship. The latest executive order claims powers expressly given to congress. Even if people agree with what he's doing, we should all have a problem with how it's being done.

They should be limited in scope and only needed for a direct threat or emergency. That would disqualify almost all of them. And they should all expire quite quickly ensuring legislators have time to vet the order. If they don't, it dies.

The first step is TERM linits for all elected positions, especially the house and senate. No more than 8 years for a senator, 6 years for the house, and no more than 10 years combined elected political service.
I like the thought. Senate would have to be 12 years to be two terms. I would probably say no more than two terms in any one position. That way an ex senator that becomes president could still run for reelection. This idea of career politicians has to end, but for that to happen, more people would have to become involved in civics.

My idea is to change it to 2-4yr terms for the senate. 6 year terms is too much.
The original intent was for common people to hold these positions for a short while and then go back to their normal lives. We dont need lawyers to be politicians. We need common people.
I agree with the original intent. I just don't have a lot of faith in most of the common people I see around me. There is no interest in finding out how things work or how they can be changed. Most just want to complain based on the third (4th, 5th) party information they got in their social media feed. Those are the common people.

2 year and 6 year terms are there by design so that congressional seats are up for re-election in by-years when the president isn't up for re-election.
Most people see it for what it is
Government has become big business.
How in the fuck do public servants all become multi millionaires while in office?
They all use their power for personal enrichment. They "play the game" and work with all the special interests and lobbyists that push their agenda. The citizens have no control over it. There is so much wrong with how our government operates.
We need to get rid of these career politicians and special interests superceding what's good for the citizens.
Ordinary citizens know it's all but impossible for then to do anything or change anything. It's going up against an absolute ruthless power drunk juggernaut.

Better than term limits is no back to back terms.
You can serve as many years as you can get elected, but no incumbents ever. And no bouncing back and forth between house and senate either.

No problem, set up the four years Senate terms to alternate with the presidential elections.
I would be okay with back to back terms only because people generally suck at their job at first. Two terms gives them a chance to do a good job, then they can leave.

That may be true.....but if you are still sucking at the 1 year mark (out of 4) I'm not sure you should have the opportunity for a second term.......

That tinpot dictator in Michigan is apparently now writing Executive Orders pertaining to the enforcement of other Executive Orders.
