Leftists try to explain this. How did Pelosi get $100 million while in Congress?

[Brain357]

Our politicians are corrupt. Why do you think so much is spent on campaigns? They aren’t giving all that money for nothing. Why we don’t demand reform is the real question.

Yet you go ape demented shit when Trump yells drain the swamp.

He is not a lawyer nor a politician and all you do is cling to the lawyers and politicians words for it.

Funny

What the matter? America first too racist for you?

Yes Trump talks a lot. He's done nothing against corruption. Don't kid yourself. He has appointed a lot of lobbyists....He may be the worst of the swamp.

The only way to reform them is to take away their power to give away other people's money.

We need campaign finance reform. Of course righty citizens united made that much harder.

Yeah, the First Amendment is a big obstacle to government censorship.

The First Amendment doesn't mention throwing money at politicians. The constitution does mention bribery however and that's essentially what it is.

Expressing your opinion is "corruption?"

I don't want a government chosen by the media and by the permanent political class, and that's all you were going to get with McCain-Feingold.

You want the government we have now? Over $20 trillion in debt tells me they are all bought and paid for. Throwing huge sums of money at candidates isn't expressing your opinion. It is bribing they for the favors they will give you after they win.

The debt would be even bigger if the politicians and the media had a monopoly on political speech during an election.

Denmark has a much lower debt/GDP ratio than we do. They are also much less corrupt....

Because McCain-Feingold makes it illegal for anyone but them to talk about the election within 90 days of the election.

It will never happen, so it's pointless to talk about it. I do think the parliamentary system they have in most European countries would be better, however.

It would happen if we demanded change. Too many people are for their team now. Shame both teams are hosing us.

 

[imawhosure]

Please explain Moscow Mitch's great increase in wealth as a Senator.

Well, on this one, I have to actually agree with Lakhota; I know, sad but true.

Mitch and his wife's family, are in bed with the Chinese. The swamp is the swamp, period.

I find it fascinating that more people from both sides, aren't behind Trump on this issue. And when Trump put Tricky Mitch's wife in his cabinet, I was like......WHAT!

Rich people are arrogant a**holes for the most part, from Trump, to Bloomberg, to Mitch, to Pelosi. The question is------------->were they filthy rich before they got to Washington?

While the rich, who are rich before they get to Washington are arrogant and we may not like them, at the very least...………...it is harder to corrupt them, and easier to find the amount of money it would cost the corrupter to buy them, if an attempt was made.

Lets take Bloomberg or Steyer on the left, and Trump on the right for example----------------->you are worth BILLIONS, how much money do you think it would cost to subvert them? 20 million isn't going to do it,lol. They have enough money to live like like royalty for the rest of their lives, and their extended family also.

Now we may not like all or most of some of their ideas for sure, but lobbyists buying them is a very tall order!

What would redskins do without pale face?

No blue jeans
No casinos
No....wheels
No...toothpaste
No...uh, tampons
No horses


My gosh.

No wonder they fought for the confederacy.

Redskins Redskins Redskins

YEAH!!!

Remember when pale face played the redskin in those environmental commercials?



You are too young. Whats the matter? They couldn't find an actual redskin? They had to use pale face to play a redskin?

Is that woke? It is the environment and that pale face truly believed he was a redskin.

Lol

If it didn't happen, then you would just claim we didn't demand it. The system is setup to prevent change. The South tried it when it seceded, and see what it got.

The system is certainly set up for the politicians and their lobbyists.
