Stay astonished, my friend
[QUOTE=Surch2020;6453537]After all that's been revealed about Trump (that of course was obvious in 2016) I find it astonishing that there are still people who can't see, or refuse to admit, what a fool traitor he is. How many people have to go to jail, lose their law license, or pay a billion dollar fine before the gullible will admit their mistake?[/QUOTE]And Joe Biden is Abraham Lincoln? Not going to argue with your type anymore. Believe what you must while your country is dissolved right in front of you. MAGA is all your type knows, sees, hears, and breathes. Sad and pathetic. Talk about refusing to admit a mistake? When you point that MAGA finger at people you've got three more pointing right back at you. Unfortunately that point is completely lost on someone who has been so media and Joe Biden brainwashed that he can't see the real forest for the trees. Good luck out there.
You need to do your homework
The ONLY elected official in Washington with a guaranteed pension is the President who gets 50%. The rest pay into a retirement fund and it depends on years served, age at drawing, and amount paid in. The days of automatic pension without with Dan Rostenkowski. I have done the research. As far as insider info, The DemonCrats are the worst at that game. Look at Nancy Pelosi.
[QUOTE=AvgJhsn;6455104]Where else can you get a job and after 8 years retire with 3/4 pay and full medical for life? Or that innocent stock / company tip yo hear at a gathering that boosts your portfolio and gets you arrested, but legal for them? Or the number of them that consistently (knowingly) write bad checks with no repercussions (house bank is private entity)? Where else can you come in a pauper and leave a millionaire?
The rhino former leader of the senate wife's family (Chinese) controls the largest shipping company in China and owns several major ports on the west coast and worldwide, but there was never any conflict of interest. Jan. 6 should've been a wakeup, but instead they reacted in dictatorial fashion. They have gone so far as to obtain a list of all people flying in and out of DC that week, and when they fly place an air marshal next to them to try and incriminate themselves (friend in airline talking to a air marshal), (trying to confirm). The founding fathers never meant or dreamed that it would become a profession. Why? They all had businesses and farms to run. They got together, did what needed to be done and went home. Maybe we need to get back to that, or better yet, make it not so lucrative to be a federal politician. One can always hope.[/QUOTE]
