I simply could not imagine being in congress and staying silent as Trump builds a slush fund of $1.776 (cute right… 1776) billion dollar slush fund for insurrrectionists.
What are these people even there for?
History will be brutal to them. And their kids will be embarrassed

Germany suffers from suicidal levels of woke right now, but when you know Germans, you know they will overshoot on the correction so hard it will make MAGA look like a liberal kindergarten.

@Skwerilleee I think saying nobody wants to take your guns and supporting an assault rifle ban is consistent. I have no issues with you have a pistol for protection and rifles to hunt (I have a pistol and two rifles) but I see no need for anyone to need an assault rifle.

Something that happens to me literally every time I'm talking politics with a liberal:
I'll mention that the gun control is a total dealbreaker on voting blue for a lot of people.
They respond with "nobody wants to take your guns, that's just republican fearmongering."
I point out that no, literally every democrat candidate wants an assault weapons ban. That's not some republican lie, it's literally right there on their own issues pages.
Rather than acknowledging that they were incorrect and continuing the conversation from there, they just immediately pivot to "omg nobody needs an assault weapon!"
It's literally like a script, I've had the exact same conversation like 1000 times.

Yt people don't want Black kids to have access to it.

This is how China provides lunch in its government schools. What is stopping us?

@the_transit_guy We need to quarantine blacks so they can’t drive good families out of cities

The bones of hundreds of mid-sized cities in the USA are already there, but we need a nationwide plan to build rail between them, invest in their sustainable future, and liberalize zoning so that millions of families can once again afford to live in their urban cores.

@Nicowunt @Bud56719225072 @Danyilo986 @DJBranham Okay but I’m basing my opinion on the political writings of the shooters so what the fuck are you basing yours on

I don’t know about you guys, but Trump has taken all the joy and pride out of the 250th Anniversary for me.
I won’t watch any part of his ridiculous celebrations and nonsense. He’s destroying my country.

@UmbraSight @Bud56719225072 @Danyilo986 @DJBranham Crazy how you people just create your own fantasy world

@Nicowunt @Bud56719225072 @Danyilo986 @DJBranham Weird given the last few political shootings were done by conservatives and centrists
English
@Danyilo986 @DJBranham Yes. People have guns here and shoot people.

Unironically, congress members should be paid 600k-800k a year
Strong financial compensation is a fundamental deterrent for corruption and alternative interests
Rep. Jack Kimble@RepJackKimble
Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.

@hashjenni Wouldn't that justify them working as hard as someone making minimum wage too?

@Nicowunt @MKaylaUltra Do you think a policeman in Mexico or a policeman in America is more willing to take bribes?

Unironically, Senators should be paid $500k - $1m/ year, but the exchange is that you are unequivocally banned from lobbying/consulting and stock trading for 15+ years

@Alexvolute @MKaylaUltra New Hampshire seems to be the only decent northeastern state

@Nicowunt @MKaylaUltra yeah see NH does the whole not paying politicians anything and you get exactly what you expect: only the rich and/or crazy run.

@zhkhi @MKaylaUltra Brother every politician in America is low quality, they’re all corrupt scumbags

@Nicowunt @MKaylaUltra “I want super low quality politicians who make decisions that impact trillions of dollars!!!!”
