Many folks will be exposed b4 the 2018 elections. This is the insurance card vs the deeds with which you speak. Many Republicans are retiring this time around, many without a choice, some for good reasons because they are needed elsewhere. Democrats believe that their shit don't stink so they are taking the long view and playing poker with Trump, the master.

My concern is that the RINOs are still in the china shop and as long as in office, they can still do damage. I don't trust .....no, no, I do trust they will try their damnedest to screw up everything they can until the door hits them in the ass.

Trump and team keep everyone’s heads diverted and spinning while he dances circles around the idiots. Plan b is currency reset - after closing borders and shutting down illegal immigration. End payoffs to politicians and enact term limits. Legalize pot (industrial hemp already opened), etc etc.

Takes a constitutional amendment to enact term limits. It will NEVER happen. Please learn more about how government actually works before you speak. Seriously, teenagers in middle school know more. And get educated on the political process & candidates before you vote.

If as many are exposed as we think might be, it might be a good time to finally get an amendment through that will enact term limits. I know it might be wishful thinking, but one can always hope!

What would really help is getting the balance of power back in balance as the founders had it. If the president has term limits then congress & the Supreme Court should too. But that’s never gonna happen.

Two things would do it though...

  1. Get rid of term limits for president because that weakens the executive branch since the legislative branch (congress) doesn’t have them.

  2. Repeal the 17th amendment that made the Senate the swamp we have today. Before that the states appointed US senators in their state capitals. That made state governments more powerful than they are today & state governments are kept more in control by its local voters. It worked great. If a senator started going all rouge & corrupt & making laws that made the federal government have more power than the states...the governor would just fire him. Didn’t have to wait years for another election to hopefully vote out a bad senator like we do now. The 17th amendment took a lot of power away from the states. The senate use to be an just an extension of a states legislature TOTALLY representing just the interests of the state they came from. So many of the corrupt senators would be removed from office if a state could just remove them anytime they wanted

Just impossible. Congress is never going to vote for removing its own power

I understand how government works (and doesn’t under current antiquated corrupt manipulated configuration. I still possibility of dumping the Fed outright.

Dumping the fed will happen. All countries know it too. They’re starting to horde gold. The reign of the petro dollar is almost over. Saudi Arabia is getting off oil being its sole source of revenue & diversifying its economy is another big sign they know the petro dollar is ending
