When it moves, you regulate, and when it quits moving, you subsidize is the government motto. I'm getting the idea that a lot of government officials are kind of losers in real life and become parasitic on those who actually produce and make life good so they can take credit. They don't want to kill the economy, they want to change it so they get credit.

They probably have no idea what they are doing. they have never done a thing but say yes or no and have no clue. All they do is fill their pockets. A person with a good, steady job and satisfied with that, does not go into politics. I know very little politicians who went in there full of ideals, and if they did, they were sidelined, or demotivated, or overruled by their party.

thats why they stay in office for decades, who else would want them. would you hire an idiot that is full of hubris, unreasonable, petty, lazy, greedy and using other for his/her own gain? methinks not. you could wipe you ass with their cv's.

What I find incomprehensible is how people can possibly keep supporting and voting for these corrupt sociopathic parasites.

It is like some sort of hive-mind Stockholm Syndrome that repeats with every quadrennial clown show.

Because anyone with the brains to actually do the job, doesn't want the job!! So we vote for the smartest idiot who does want the job.

It reminds me of the scene in Gladiator where Maximus is asked by Marcus Aurelius after he informs him of his intent to pass him with his powers:

MA: Do you accept this great honor that I have bestowed upon you?

M: With all my heart, no.

MA: That is why it must be you!

Boy is this ever the truth! Truly intelligent, decent, moral people want nothing to do with these jobs. Unfortunately, generally it's the lowest denominators of society who are drawn into politics. There aren't any Mr. Smiths in Washington any more, if there ever were.

That is the best definition of a politician I have read

yes, ad nauseum....a vicious circle of mediocre puppets bobbleheading all day long and pandering to lobbyists. Get a life, grow a pair, tell lobbyists to piss off, make decisions based on the peoples voices and do the work for and of the people, namely all of us. And put our nation and its people first.

Well if you have the choice between 2 crazy old men, that is not really a choice right? And from congress, we can only vote for our state's politicians. All the rest is up to the other states. I wish we could send them all home and start anew. Without support from BigPharma, with a limited time in the government, say no more than 6 years, and if they don't do their job, being able to fire them. I think Australia has a system like that (although they don't seem to fare much better)

No we have the exact same idiots here.

I think what we are enduring is the final pustch by the globalist-progressive left to impose their brand of corporatism (a.k.a. fascism) upon the formerly free world.

They have played a long game, taking a century or so to largely eradicate and marginalize enlightenment values and convince truly terrifying numbers of people that top-down coercion and diktat is preferable to the distributed economic and political systems that made them wealthy and free.

The same forces of darkness are upon us and make no mistake, they their goal is to enslave us all.

That's what it has been all about since the beginning of the nation-state in Mesopotamia, and that's what it is all about now.

We must prevail.

The MSM seems to love hiring them! But then, they're kinda two sides of the same coin.
