We shouldn't be physically threatening members of Congress and their families, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnjoyLife Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 There is no place for this kind of thing in the US. Dont like their policies...vote them out.

Having no Term Limits is a very large part of the problem, but no one will propose a bill, nor would it pass if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Lobbying (legalized bribery) is also a huge problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngcoach123 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I don’t physically threaten anyone. But I have no problem with Representatives being threatened. The job they have has been Cush for to long. Time for them to get some skin in the game. People willing to risk their life for the country are what is needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One could argue that political donations are a form of bribery. Or at the very least a hope for a Quid Pro Quo, i.e., "I'm giving you this money in hopes you'll do something for me". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so...but there is a difference between you or me giving $10 or $25 or $100 to a candidate...and (for example) the pharma industry spending $89,000,000 a year on lobbying like they did in 2020. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osup116 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Maybe Maxine should have went to jail for this then. Remember 2 republicans were shot at a baseball game during this time. Its funny it was ok to encourage violence during this time but now it is a problem. https://globalnews.ca/video/4295094/maxine-waters-calls-on-citizens-to-harass-trump-administration-officials-in-public Or this woman https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article167755572.html Seems the problem could have been corrected back in 2016 - 2019. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
