Senator John Kennedy froze and then properly zoned out—forcing Fox to cut the interview short.

    running should only be allowed at an age less than that of retirement, and at federal minimum wage. want to fix issues for working class and elderly? Fix them while you’re in office while you are becoming too old to run again. Get the fucking zombies out of DC.

      They should have term limits. Funny how they gave the president term limits but didn’t vote on ones for themselves.

        They also vote on work requirements for things like health care benefits and then clock a zero hour day at their own fucking jobs.

        Congress should have to work a standard forty hour work week to receive benefits and make time off requests like the rest of us.

      the minnimum wage thing only means that the people that go up for the job are the corrupt bastards cutting favors and deals.

              Yes. We should have anti-corruption laws being reliably forced, and have anti-corruption laws strengthened.

              that won’t happen if all the good ones leave because they can’t afford to live in DC.

              there is a problem with minimum wage, yes.

              but you’re solution isn’t a solution. it will lead to the exact opposite of what you want. even more so than now.
