Longest serving members currently in CONgress
Ballotpedia ^ | 3-16-2021 | Myself

Posted on 03/16/2021 4:55:42 AM PDT by TermLimits4All

So here I am drinking my coffee this morning. Just thinking about the America we all knew and loved. It's currently swirling the toilet bowl as a turd created by the dirty people we supposedly elected into office. Agreed that some are pretty decent bit as of late there's very few that are outspoken about the atrocities happening and the burning of our constitution.

It seems to me that we all have become complacent. We have all had the incorrect assumption that our elections were free and fair. We have voted for reforms in our schools, doing so has ushered in the creation of socialist leaning kids. We tend to think our school boards are not positions that'll affect the future of our country.

Looking at those in Congress it's a wake up call seeing those who have been in Congress since before I was in high school. Do these people have our best interests at heart? The answer is a resounding NO. look at the years these people have "served", ixsay that as a citizen who sees that they only serve their own best interests. A person serving the people shouldn't get rich while in their position. They shouldn't be serving for decades either.

So what's the solution? We have Congress critters that can give themselves raises, work a small portion of the year, have staff to fend off the hard questions and for the most part aren't directly reachable by their constituents. Sure you'll get the standard form letter if you write or email them but do they actually read your concerns? The answer is NO.


TOPICS: Chit/Chat; Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS:
How do we fix this since we all know our elections are rooted in fraud? How do we ensure that if we even get out to vote we actually have a voice? How do we get those who've been in CONgress for decades out with fresh new faces, preferably faces that aren't seeking a career in politics? Right now my view is that there is zero point in voting. Until the vote can be secured with minimal fraud I see zero point in wasting my time standing in line to vote. If we can secure the vote, somehow, I would eagerly stand in line again to cast a secure vote. What we need in addition to the security in our voting is also a nationwide vote on term limits. I say no more than 2 terms for any elected position. Put that to a vote and I think even the Democrat voters would sign on. I will be working today so won't have time to browse and comment on your responses. Just thought this is a good conversation to have. If you look at the link there are too many members in CONgress that need to be purged but we're at a crossroad since we cannot count on our election integrity any longer.

PRO and CON:

there is PROgress and the opposite is: CONgress.

All societies rise and fall,
by lead, by invasion, by latifundia, or by TREASON
and infiltration - like in this case.

Many see but one solution but I see a lack of organization in that effort. The simple fact is we have people on both sides amongst us in our communities. We used to be able to talk to one another but now it’s a futile effort.
You know our congressman know the jig is up, I mean after all we now have fencing in DC. You know they’re scared of WE the people as they’ve effectively usurped the Constitution and are working to at the very least register all Americans exercising their 2A rights.
I think thing will be coming to a head within the next couple of years and the people who side with America and the freedoms we used to enjoy do not have the mindset like our SS people. Most of us wouldn’t sacrifice our lives in a fight to regain our government from the people taking our rights and freedoms away.

But even the long timers on this list are rookies compared to Anthony Fauci. He's been on the US government payroll, pretty much in the same job, since 1968.

In 1968:

Lyndon Johnson was President

The Beatles was/were a group

Tranny meant something that you shifted in your car. On the floor was cooler than on the column.

And the list goes on.......

Good news is a lot of them are old and will be dead soon.. Just not soon enough. Many are senile just like the demented guy in the WH and make piss poor decisions.

Problem is the next round of congressional leftist idiots are far worse with a much longer career to screw America.

The solution is Article V. An admendment tossing out every Federal elected official and the Federal judges as well would be a good restart.

It was all over the moment ALL of our elected AND appointed swore in the ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia in direct violation of the Constitution.

Once the Constitution was abrogated by ALL of our representatives, the usurper set about corrupting our ENTIRE government.

Agreed. It was a very underhanded moment that included McCain, Mckaskill and Pelosi at the root, witht the others following.

What we need in addition to the security in our voting is also a nationwide vote on term limits. I say no more than 2 terms for any elected position.

Part one of my tagline, since about forever.

Never RE-ELECT any politician without verifiable term limits.
My policy since 1978 and will always be my principle regarding how I vote.
