Interesting, my Congresswoman announced she is not running again. She has done good work, but is aged. I am toying with the idea of running for that office as establishment politicians seem to simply ignore their constituents in many cases. Not sure I have the energy, but it may be worth it.

Prediction, for what it is worth... AOC challenges Schumer when he is up for re-election and wins. It is time to retire all of the old guard. They are not up to the task at hand and will not be able to turn the Orange, putrid tide.

It is time for all younger people of voting age to overthrow the broken system of government we have and replace it with something that represents people, not corporations. Your future depends on it.

It is time to kick out every single one who voted yes. They are working for their corporate sponsors, not for you.

I had to take all kinds of tests to help determine my honesty and ethics before I took a job. The same needs to be done with our politicians as part of the vetting process before they are on the ballot.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

What a surprise! The U.S. government is now no better than a cartel crime ring on a grand scale. Extortion, murder, kidnapping, and of course, grift is the name of the game. Tear it all down and start again before the world needs to do it for us. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...
Trump pardons Rudy Giuliani and others involved in bid to overturn 2020 election
The pardons may be largely symbolic as none of the people listed were convicted of federal crimes, which the presidential pardon covers.

Follow the money and you see who the politicians actually work for. Hint, it is rarely the people who elected them.
You can go to trackapack.com to see which Congress members take money from AIPAC. Hakeem Jeffries has taken almost $900,000 from them.

They think we have short memories. Remember their votes during the primaries. Any who voted yes need to go. Put any random person in and you will likely have a better chance at good representation at this point.
