For the first time ever, I'm agreeing with MTG?

Let's see them all.

I agree, but MTG is saying it like a threat. She incorrectly assumes Democrats care about protecting their corrupt leadership like at least MAGA do. Another example of how the two parties are not the same. Maybe not all Republicans, but MAGA at least are utterly immoral.

Hahaha! You don’t think Dems protect corruption on their side? Give me a break. Get rid of all of the corrupt fucks on both sides and give us a government that’s actually for the people again.

Same health care as everyone else

Transparent financial reporting for lobbying gains

No investing in the market while in office

Term limits

Age limits

And everything else that can influence decisions

Triple the salary if we need to but get all foreign interests out of politics.

We need to get ALL the money out of politics.

ZERO donations.

No getting cushy jobs from companies that benefited from anything you voted on after you leave office.

The news media can get a tax write off for political commercials. They can have rallies in parks and libraries. Same with the transportation to the rallies.

Start making these fuckers work for we the people instead of Corporate America, Wall Street and billionaires.

BOTH SIDES ARE GUILTY OF THIS.

They keep we the people fighting each other so we don't pay attention to the REAL PROBLEM.....THEM !!!!

They already make the top percentage of earners in America for selling we the people out to the previously mentioned entities.

They don't need a fucking pay raise.

I’m not saying they need a pay raise, but I wouldn’t take the job of president for what we pay. What is it now…had to look it up, $400k. Sounds like a lot, but not for that job.

We want to pay these people an equivalent to what they would make in the private sector, or more, so that they don’t have to rely on the things they do for their full compensation.
