That’s a good idea, but I fear the politicians will reassert themselves and the temptations inherent in the swamp may be too much for some regular folks who end up there in our current system.
Here’s a better one: House members shall be chosen from among registered voters by lottery for a single two year term to represent the district in which they live.
Each newly selected Representative shall undergo eight weeks of education in civics and the Constitution before taking the Oath.
Congress shall be in session not more than six months out of the year during which time Representatives will be housed in dormitories in the Capitol with meals to be provided at a cafeteria. (Basically like junior enlisted military)
Compensation for members should be fixed at the national average annual income. Since there will be no campaigns there will be no campaign contributions and re-election will not be a consideration.
Non-elected staffers would have to be rotated out after four years or so; say from duties at Congress to the Forest Service or something useful.
This would help break the hold the Ruling Class has on government. It’s a nice fantasy
In fact, do a startpage search.
‘White House situation room’
select an image search.
I can’t find any images with a ‘messy’ tabletop and the CINC present.
None.
Except that one from the al baghdadi raid.
Some dogs are naturally more inclined to enjoy jumping off of things than others.
Interesting Catherine Herridge leaves so shortly after Shep Smith, no?
Petey
a muscular woman
but not related to Shep dip leaving
Great ideas. Thanks.
I’d also like to see a Constitutional amendment preventing Muzzies from being citizens. Period.
They are bone-marrow hostile to our Constitution, foundational values, way of life, etc. We don’t need to aid & abet sworn dedicated-unto-death political/cult enemies within the camp. More than enough already yet.
Ditto preventing any form of communism/socialism from being taught in schools or enshrined in any laws at any level.
MIGHT be open to a religious community that voluntarily shared all things in common.
So fed up with traitors within the camp.
I’d also like to see a Constitutional amendment requiring all candidates for any political office to score in the top 15% on humility as rated by their local communities, co-workers etc.
I recognize that legislating morality is a mostly futile tricky escapade. However, I think careful efforts in these directions might be well worth it.
There are priorities & then there are priorities.
Trump likes spit & polish & gold gilt more than I do—when he can have his preferences.
Yet, thankfully, he seems to major in majors & minor in minors.
The cable messy table was unsightly but not disturbing, to me. I doubt that anyone in the room were slowed down much in their doings by the messy cables—except maybe for the odd hyper-OCD afflicted person who may have been there.
Maintain course!

Some people seem to have been confused about this. Just in case...
A "Diplomatic cable" is not a length of coax connected to something that can be cut or tapped. A diplomatic cable is like a telegram - a message printed on a piece of paper.
Do the start page search.
How many times has this happened.
There are people there to see that this doesn’t, in fact, happen.
It was deliberate.
It appears that table has ‘cable management’ down the center of it.
I can find no other pictures (with any CINC) with that level of unkemptness.
Sooo, what is your guesstimate about the goal or point of the deliberately messy cable stuff?

State department communications are called ‘cables’.

Wouldn’t that be a ripper...right?
