I don't think the American system started out with a bad smell, but it's been trampled on so much by so many for so long it's definitely developing a deathlike - as you say - stink.

"They have had power before and betrayed the People." Yes, this legacy still haunts us as proof of the Uniparty.

Now the second last meme since a new one has been added.

Very needful, too, especially in this day and age.

Yes. The idea of politicians with their focus on what’s best for the country would be very refressing

May I suggest you pay close attention to the last meme in OUC's TGIFfunnies 5/24/24 Edition after checking out the others first.

Quite sure you'd agree with me that I'd take quality over quantity any day.

I have a simple solution that will get the illegals to leave voluntarily.

1. End ALL social programs.
2. Enforce laws against hiring illegals and fine violators $100,000 per violation.

When they get hungry they will leave.

Politicians on the right go into politics basically for the same reason as politicians on the left- to enjoy power and get rich. They simply pander to a different part of the populace to gain a few votes to put them over the top and INTO power.

The only way this would get through is if its done by a direct vote of the people. Most of the politicians would quit if such a measure would pass, leaving only a small number who actually wanted to "serve" the citizens of the country.

What our (perhaps way too) idealistic Founding Fathers had in mind was that red-blooded American patriots (Oh, God help us!) yes, mostly those patriot peoples would step up to the plate to serve We The People of their cherished Constitutional Republic always for just a little while in Congress before carrying on as actually productive to our capitalist economy good and worthy citizens.
Yeah, woop-dee-do!
So where did obtaining a pension for making a lifelong career in Congress come from? Not to mention getting filthy rich off of insider trading!
Guess what I do with letters from different groups seeking donations to force term limits?
I toss them into the trash. Why?
Politicians in Congress will never ever even put such a so outlandish thing up for a vote.
It's another great way for "patriotic groups" to collect cash from suckers, though!

Same time. Same hospital. They wouldn't let me visit my daughter in law on the same floor. They removed her kidney they'd diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer and they sent her home saying she was too weak for chemo, She died in two weeks. They didn't notify her Primary Care Provider who had privileges in that hospital that she'd been admitted although she listed his name as her PCP. He was furious and resigned his practice and retired to his ranch.. NB

I was admitted with insurance you can't even imagine and I was supposed to be in a private room. Didn't happen. I missed three meals before I left AMA with a fractured pelvis when they wouldn't provide me with a walker. I advised my insurance people not to pay them and they didn't. nb

Politics is the exercise of power over people. Physical power in terms of what laws get passed backed up by the guns of the government to force the unwilling citizens to obey, and manipulation in terms of what lies can be told that stick in order to get the sheep to go along willingly with what the politicians want. Overall, the system stinks

Check out your local hospital and see how it's doing. And don't be surprised. nb

Did we all just wake up stupid one day? I hear a report about Malaria being rampant in the immigrants coming across the Border. The homeless immigrants are filling up our hospitals and we can't get medical treatment . In earlier years these people would have been quarantined for six months AT THE BORDER. What is going on with the stupid routine? nb

Hard to legally justify tossing out the 21 million born in America to legal Americans. Sounds like something the Deep State would do to anyone that opposed them.

One should question WHY people want to be politicians. Its all about power over other people, and that's not a great reason to go into politics for a freedom loving person.

Hopefully, the flood of illegal immigrants WILL be stopped the day of the inauguration in 2025. As a country, we cannot afford to feed, cloth, medically take care of, etc. millions of immigrants who are just here for the benefits of the welfare state.

Not 60 million....all 81 million that "voted" for FJB.

Patriot Marjorie Taylor Greene got it right by calling both parties "the Uniparty" when she came under heavy RINO criticism for trying to get two-faced "It's the border, it's the border, it's the border (~~no, nada, not!" gutless Speaker Johnson impeached.
That verbal catfight she got into does not bother me in the least.
She did not start it and methinks the poor girl was at that point frustrated over being vilified over saying and doing the right thing.
Libs being supportive of Johnson over MTG tells me all I need to know.

We need to follow the money trail and find, prosecute and execute those responsible for organizing the illegal immigrant convoys. I saw pictures of trucks offloading supplies to the illegals in Mexico. I know what snack food the locals eat in Mexico City and Queretaro, and that wasn't it. They were handing out Coke and Lays products brought down from the US. Of course you won't see our State Department, FBI or CIA lifting a finger to find out who - because they know already and ~don't~ want it published.

I think Trump should change his platform at some point, late not to allow the scum-o-crats to respond.

Develop a deportation policy, to get rid of troublesome immigrants. Then develop a program to use ONLY PRIVATE companies to train and employ them to provide a soft landing, reducing struggle and crime. Reimburse the PRIVATE companies based on the long-term success and viability of the employee (no on any welfare). Deport scum, allow many to stay.

This turns the entire group into Republican supporters! Then, then the welfare recipients complain, offer them the same program, bereft of Welfare, paid to employers. This is the path to eliminating Welfare, and replacing the program with training.

It is a fundamental problem: The Right isn't the correct opposition to The Left. The Left is collectivist, and pretty much always has been. As we know, the opposite and antidote for collectivism is individualism.

So the problem is there is no consistency in The Right being individualist. They are like a drunken Yellowbeard looking for their buried treasure - staggering back and forth. When they stand on and for individualism, they enjoy electoral success. But they haven't realized it, and don't stay there.
