    Hi. DC has been sick for decades.

    There was a brief koombaya moment with Clinton and Newt. But since Nixon it's been a shit show.

    I thought troomps wanted to “burn it all down.” I’d support them if that was true. Turns out they are cowards and hypocrites, just like trump.

    Americas founders made a critical mistake by not including a mechanism in the Constitution for removing the entire power apparatus (every member Congress and the Senate) simultaneously when it become irreparably corrupted. We need to flush the shit, all of it, and start again with a whole new roster of fresh faces.

    It's not the people, it's the rules. Rules determine behavior and outcomes. You want better representation, change the rules by which the representatives operate. You throw everybody out and get new ones in there, they'll operate under the same constraints and incentives as the old group.

    Start with competitive redistricting and campaign finance reform

    Disagree. Shitty people figure out how to manipulate the rules.

    DC is full of shitty people.

    I have an idea, instead of constantly looking for angles to lead us why don't we just limit the power and reach of the Federal Government and then we wouldn't need to concern ourselves so much with the rules or how sick DC. If Congress and the Federal bureaucracy didn't have the ability to impact all of our lives so directly you wouldn't have people throwing so much money at politicians in order sway their votes and pass their legislation.

    Corrupt, greedy, and incompetent people will always be with us, why not limit the government's power so that when this people get into position power they aren't able to do as much damage as they are able to do now?

    Agree. Trump is a buffoon. When do we “burn it down??” There’s no proposal on the table to shut down DC. Why not? EPA, education, energy, ICE, homeland security, FCC... etc. the sooner we shut it down the better. It’s a central pillar of trumpism and I support it. The lack of follow through and inefficiency is just shocking.

    You got fucking duped (not surprised).

    I think you just took the lead. So it's "ironic" that you're a dumbass. Kind of makes my point.

    Race says you make “good” arguments.

    This makes my point about both of you.

    Thanks for that.

    Since I didn't vote for Trump just how exactly did I get duped? Second of all, I never heard Trump ever say "burn it down" nor did I ever believe that Trump was a limited government Conservative. Appears the person who was "duped" was you. But as one of the dumbest people to post here, that probably happens a lot to you.

    So you don’t support trump and centralized DC power? Which is it bob?

    Why won’t trump cut the power, authority and funding of the federal government?

    You are replying to secdawg? Correct? Because “kav” is not charged with anything. Only secdawg and you seem to be implying otherwise.
