You really think he was ok with Russia just going into Poland for not contributing? BTW they contribute a higher % now than us…..after that speech.
No, but to say so is stupid. Ranks right there if not worse than the stupidest Biden quote one can think of.
What do I think?
I think NATO is a joke. I think our aid relief needs a complete overhaul.
Why?
I think our foreign policy is overreaching.
Why?
I think our government is out of touch and control and every agency not within the federal government’s enumerated powers needs permanently suspended until a revamp that aligns with the FG’s mandate power is reigned in.
Which agency or agencies are you speaking of? Unless I’m mistaken the Constitution clearly spells out the duties of Congress and the Presidency. In doing so it gives those two branches of government the enumerated powers to govern by passing laws. Unless I’m mistaken EVERY existing Federal agency was created by passage of a law.
I think no federal Senator or Congressman should live in DC. They should live in their district no exceptions.
Can’t live in DC? So are you saying they should fly home at the end of every day? Who foots that bill? BTW, a Senator and a Representative are both considered Congressmen as the US Congress is composed of the US Senate and the US House of Representatives.
I think Legislators and elected and non-permanent appointments should be granted NO benefits after leaving their position. It’s a service not an industry.
So if I understand correctly you pretty much feel that one’s entire public service should be limited say 2-6 years? Otherwise, who in their right mind would dedicate any more time to a career that has no retirement benefits? BTW, what is your body of public service? Surely you have served. Since no one will hang around long absent an incentive everyone will need to participate.
I also think that any state or federal political positions pay should be based off of a percentage of their districts average income.
A percentage you say? Does that mean that they should be paid between 1% and 98.2% of the average pay in their district? Or say 100% to 300%? Let’s say it’s pegged at 50% of the district average. For Medford, OR the 2022 per capita income was $33,822 so 50% of that is $16,911; the median is $65,647 and 50% of that is $32,823.50. So you’re good with that? Enough so you’re going to file your candidacy papers tomorrow for the election this November?
Some of the people you’ve been sword fighting with in the cbid restroom known as the politics boards POSTED about stuff Cheeto Jesus did wrong on that thread you mentioned. I specifically mentioned him abusing Executive power using an agency to enforce a law that doesn’t exist. And when I did every response I got from the Anti Cheeto crowd was about Cheeto….well guess what. He was far from the worst about abusing Chevron Deference with government agencies whom CANNOT CREATE LAW but have been. But nobody wanted to talk about that. Abuse is abuse and pretending he’s new and this is the worst ever was and is a joke. I get why you’d post this and in a vacuum is a very logical and fair post. But I’m not of that same agreement with what and how things went with outside circumstances acted against Cheeto Jesus to hold him to a HIGHER standard?
First off we’re starting with a false equivalency because traditional politicians are groomed as are their personas. The very reason Cheeto Jesus was elected was a rejection of the norms. Now with that the establishment having a freak out reaction isn’t past reason. But with what happened people of all political stripes should be upset with what’s happened. And no I’m not going into it because if you don’t know by now there is literally no use in going through it.
