Members of Congress don't receive a salary after leaving office. And their pensions are based on years of federal service. In fact, House members who only serve one term get no pension benefit at all, as 2 years is too short a time to be vested.

Did that idiot really post that!!
Part-time Pete wants to call out people service.

Actually it is not illegal. If the military is called in to assist with a riot situation? Usually NG.
November 25, 2025 at 9:17 PM
No. The military members dont get decide that, they don't know.
How about Obama using drones and missle to kill terrorist? I am guessing you were not in the military- so please refer to my statement.

Yes, if I was told to obviously execute someone - that is obviously an illegal order. Using force against fellow Americans? Well that is harder to say, in the circumstances. This is not black and white; that decision has to be made quickly.

1st, everyone who did not serve - needs to shut the fuck up!!
I spent 22 years in the Army (active duty, not that pertend stuff that Hegseth did.) We talked about this all the time. You better know it is an illegal order or you could be going to Levenworth for a long time.

It is because the Republicans have to wait till Daddy Trump tells them / gives them a bill to vote on. Because they never watched the video on how bills are made under the constitution.
Hear is a hint - they start in the House and you dont need the President.

I hope he sues for 100M just like Trumpy does.

How in God's green earth did he get elected to the Senate. It is one thing to be able to pull the wool over a district, but a entire state.
Do better Florida!! This man deserves to be in jail, not the Senate.

Everyone of these idiots who uses the word, "communist" needs to be directly asked to define it.
Because either they dont know what it is or they are fear mongering.
I cant think of a Democrat with communist ideology, even the most extreme. They are Democratic Socialist.

I love how he doesnt understand that things are going to get worst because of his tariffs.
November 25, 2025 at 12:47 AM
Why dont they understand, this means the next administration can do the same. Hegseth.

I think many do. How many Trumpers believe Trump thinks like them. No, he is just gaslighting you to get your vote.
November 22, 2025 at 6:02 PM
What Trump said there should be a bigger news story!!
Candidates are out there lying and saying whatever they have to to get elected. They have no integrity!!

Serbia / Kosovo - that was ended like 25 years ago.

They actually do have to do reporting. Every year non-profits have to file a tax return. Why it is so important to have the guards (irs agents, beurocrats, etc) to keep them honest.

Oh great. And you know we have the A Team in the government to make sure this doesnt become a major world wide pandemic. Oh wait, the CDC is run by a guy with a worm is brain. Guess we are all fucked!!
November 22, 2025 at 7:06 AM
Isn't this the same guy who told us we would have self driving cars like 5 years ago?
November 22, 2025 at 7:01 AM
How dare you compare exact food price from 2024 to 2025 to make this administration look bad. Be like more like Walmart.

But it is ok to tell 100ks of followers to hang the VP of the US and fight like hell. Then send them to attack the Capitol.
Would that be seditious behavior?
Asking for a future AG of the US.

Its like all those people who scream, "the government lies". This is that government.
November 22, 2025 at 6:15 AM
How many people with those degrees, do you think voted for Trump? I'm guessing less than 10%.
November 22, 2025 at 6:00 AM
What does he have to hide?
