People have heard and written about how, IMO, one of the biggest problems with our government at almost every level is the curse of partisanship. Small towns, for the most part, don’t have this problem because the elected officials are neighbors and friends who ran for a seat on their local government and care about where they live.
Big cities and up are where you are seeing the partisanship/party politics overshadow the needs and wants of the people. This is where you start seeing those I refer to as “professional politicians”. They’ve become deaf to the People and are more concerned with getting and holding power, and that means kowtowing to a select group of people. People with money and power, people who can do things for them and this includes Rs as well as Ds.
If you want the obvious example just look at the House and Senate. (Note…here is where I start referring to the (National Socialist) Democrat Party part of the party.) Both sides are guilty of this but the Democrat side, beaten into line by the (NS)DP wing, have said openly they will fight the Republicans at every turn. And I will say Republicans have been guilty as well. But the problem is me, others, and it should be ALL of us, reminding the elitist “representatives” they work for ALL OF US, not those few they bow down to! Senators, you work for the States, not the Party! Representatives, you work for the People, not the Party! People, you are letting this happen, you are letting these overpaid scam artists play you instead of making your wants, needs, and desires known and HOLDING THEM RESPONSIBLE! And before you ask how, remember every 2, 4, or 6 years you have the power to tell them YOU’RE FIRED, but only if you quit whining, get out and vote!
The other thing is to go to the school board and DEMAND that the U.S. Government, not social studies, not world government but U.S.Government be put back in the curriculum and be REQUIRED in order to graduate. Finally, enforce our federal laws. For example, where in our Constitution does it say a foreign country can set up their own police force in our cities? Not enough room to talk illegal immigration.
“… Government of the People, by the People, for the People…” Sound familiar?

That’s rich pointing more to democrats for partisan greed for power given the republican move to strip power from the Govenor now that they are losing their super majority in the state legislature. What a joke.
That’s rich pointing more to democrats for partisan greed for power given the republicans love for screaming mass voter fraud only when they lose national elections. What a joke.
That’s rich point more to democrats for partisan greed for power given the Maga conservatives attempting to stop the peaceful transfer of power after their dear leader lost a free and fair election. What a joke.
But you be you.
Hey Chris how many times did Joe say “no I wil not pardon Hunter
That’s “rich” Chris
Fire tube 1……….running true……GOOD HIT AMIDSHIP!……SHE’S GOING DOWN FAST!
How do you feel about Trump not only pardoning Jared Kushner’s daddy but now appointing him as ambassador to France given he committed far more serious crimes than Hunter was persecuted?
But you be you.
Chris hunter was never persecuted and please explain why the blanket pardon for 10 years of any and all crimes he was convicted of or may have committed. Joe was covering his butt as well as the 20 +million hunter and the bidens received from foreign countries
And lastly President Trump NEVER said he would not pardon anyone but Joe said it over a dozen times
As I said in more detail in another comment.
I’m less upset that Joe did what he did, and significantly more upset that he *could*. The pardon process without constraints just opens for corruption. Both Trump and Biden has abused this privilege.
But you be you.
Give it a break Chris. . .the Lord is watching you.
And He appreciates my respect and appreciation of all types of people. Fyi, Jesus was woke for his time.
Is it just me, or is this forum becoming more and more hackneyed, trite, and predictable?
I’m getting bored with it.
I see your point. You may be right. But, where else around here can you have such a forum where anyone can express what they think without fear of personal reprise?
Could be that there aren’t that many participants because few are engaged, or some blurbs are indefensable?
