True Democracy involves listening to all. I can't help but believe our nation's founders, (who found the idea of a 'professional politician' abhorrent), would applaud a lottery-system method to fill temporary positions. www.goodgoodgood.co/articles/ost...
To restore trust in government, this Belgian town created a lottery that elects 30 random citizens to power

From a former GOP member of Congress:
Trott lambasted the MAGA cult leader, dubbing him "King Donald" for his use of executive orders before dropping the mic: “Let’s be clear, Trump’s executive branch is being run by a bunch of sycophants, felons, and idiots."

I've always loved Emily, but this is one of the funniest episodes for sure!

Steve Witkoff helped Russia derail Ukraine’s access to Tomahawk missiles. He tipped off the Kremlin about Zelensky’s U.S. visit, giving Moscow time to arrange a call that convinced Trump to block the deal. Witkoff actively works against Ukraine’s defense, in coordination with Putin’s regime.
