I'm certain most of us are aware of the fact that with all the caterwauling about saving the democracy that this is NOT a democracy!
We can thank 635 individuals who were supposed to represent the people and honor the constitution. With only 6-8 of this gaggle honoring their pledge the rest consider themselves employees of the monolithic central government. Their job is to continue empowering the bureaucrats who really run things.
Clues to this effect are continually dropped to a practically clueless citizenry.
Brain dead Biden says when stumbling through an answer to a reporter’s question “I’m going to get into trouble.” Biden no doubt has lacerations about his back and buttocks but has no memory as to where they came from. In short, he has no memory.
The mammoth bureaucracy votes 99% for Democrats the 1% that vote for Republicans are eventually ferreted out by the gestapo and eliminated.
What to do?
First vote for Trump as though your life depended on it...because it does.
If weeding out the RINOs by primarying them doesn’t work form a strong third party to combat the Democrats and their Junior patterners. The bureaucracy must be defeated, and patriots must replace the enemies of the Republic!
While the evil left mocks and insults candidate Trump and the lying media continue to entertain the clueless with fake news and stories our enemies are aiming their missiles at America’s heartland. They care not about the east and left coasts because their supporters are there. Make America Great Again by eliminating all our internal enemies.
VOTE FOR TRUMP AS IF YOUR LIVES DEPENDED UPON IT!
America is legally and constitutionally a REPUBLIC (limited decentralized government), NOT a democracy (tyranny of the majority).
America is a Free Constitutional Republic no matter how bad our current acting politicians are.
I always thought Congress consisted of 535 members. Where did you find the additional 100?
100 senators
Re: 635
Did you mean 535?
Or, have I misunderstood something?
Each state gets one elector for each member of Congress. DC gets three electors, making 538 the full number of electoral college electors for Presidental elections.
"America is legally and constitutionally a REPUBLIC (limited decentralized government), NOT a democracy (tyranny of the majority)."
Respectfully Jim W N, in stark contrast to the Boston Tea Party tax rebellion, the ill-conceived progressive 16th (16A; direct taxes) & 17th (17A; popular voting for federal senators) Amendments gave activist judges the power to effectively repeal the Constitution, turning it into a self-destructing, tax-hungry, centralized government power democracy imo.
"16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
The congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as follows.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)
Illegals are indeed getting immediate Social Security, contrary to Democrat claims (7.11.24)
Democrats [and RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
Since Congress and likewise renegade states have repeatedly proven that they are enemies of the people imo, it is now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to effectively "impeach and remove" ALL (exceptions?) state and federal lawmakers and executives in November.
In fact, it's up to us Trump supporters to take the first MAJOR step in draining the swamp by supporting hopeful Trump 47 with a new, Constitution-respecting Congress, new state lawmakers too, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.
Supporting Trump to finish draining the swamp includes putting a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes by leading the states to repeal 16&17A, effectively "seceding" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing so.
Finally, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.
Down the Memory Hole: Google Hides Autocomplete Suggestions Related to Trump Assassination Attempt (7.28.24)
I’m sure there’s another 100 people - cia directors, fbi directors, cabinet members, a couple of Supreme Court justices, the 51 jerks who signed the Hunter laptop letter… heck it’s probably many thousands more than 100 now that I think about it. They’ve got 6 ways to Sunday to subvert everything and everyone including Congress. They probably got to Speaker Johnson, too.
The 16th & 17th amendments need to be repealed and the Reapportionment Act of 1929 needs to be revisited to ensure that congressional districts are much smaller than 750,000+ people. At the current size too much power is focused in the hands of too few Representatives and the public good is being ill served.
The other 100 are the MSM.
Done by what I've been preaching for years: DISMANTLE AND ABOLISH the 80+%, $3+ trillion unconstitutional portion of the federal government which is THE greatest threat to our lives, liberties, and wellbeing. Amen.
That is why I hope against hope that Vivek will be in the position (s/b Trump’s VP) to become President in 2028.
Vivek is the ONLY one on the national stage who is saying what needs to happen to further and complete the MAGA movement: Reinstate the Constitution and dismantle the unconstitutional portion of the feds.
Mistake! Mistake! Mistak435 + 100=535
He (Vivek) had me at “ we don’t want to replace the Leftist Nanny State with a Right one!”
No, your thread's title isn't any more deserving of attention that anybody else's. Mind your manners.
Go pick on somebody else even tough it makes you feel like a big boy!
