  • I know there’s a lot of pushback of the founding fathers due to the general pushback against American exceptionalism but let’s not lump up folks who were generally positive for society with active leaches.

    Also adultery is the least of both their crimes, it just happens that as a politician, legal theorist, and scientist there’s a lot that Benjamin Franklin did that helps give some positives to him. He was a shit person in many ways, but he was still decently intelligent. Trump is just shit with no respectable qualities and nothing to offer mankind except misery.










  • When it comes for putting pressure on folks we are still instinctually led by in person tendencies. It’s the whole “you wouldn’t say that in person” thing, if a politician fears being tard, feathered, and hanged then they tend to be a lot more amiable to the common folks.

    Also these ain’t mutually exclusive things, frankly speaking I think every House district should have a home office where the representative is forced to live and operate out of where they can do votes and seat meetings. This puts them well within stabbing distance of those they should be representing, it would also allow better tracking of whomst they meet with. If they need to present a bill or meet in person they can take a train, should help get a proper rail network established.

    If this seems like it’d be hard on the geriatrics, that’s the point. If they can’t handle the stress of it all and drop dead that’s a feature not a flaw, they could drop out at any time.


  • I suspect it’s at least partly due to the fact that both the US and Canada are too fucking large. Frankly speaking someone in California has to put in a decent amount of work to get to DC, this means that California can be more easily ignored by the Feds. The fact of the matter is that there isn’t much folks can do short of attacking federal agents, simply because there’s no way for most regions to put pressure on the Congress or the President. Even our so called representatives are almost always in DC or their isolated little shithole communities.








  • Perhaps it’s a weird compensation issue because he never learned to walk right with them. Like I’m 5’5 with a bit of an odd posture at times, his posture really vaguely looks like mine when I get new boots. Mind you after a week I’m moving in work boots like they’re leather gymnastics boots but still. Though there’s also the difference that I favor my right shoulder with my lean.
