US continues to go backward...

I said, ‘Well, Georgia is named after George Washington,’ who quite literally invented freedom,”

  • House Re-election: Incumbents in the House of Representatives generally have a high success rate, often between 85% and 100% over the last 50 years.
  • Senate Re-election: Senators also have high retention, averaging about 82% to 88% in elections

People tend to like their elected official, not the legislative bodies as a whole. This has been a trend for 10 to 15 years.

The Republican, William Wade Burleson, who is running against longtime incumbent Lucas in Oklahoma's 3rd district is no better than a Christian Nationalist. In a commentary, he even used God and the bible to excuse the awful things President Trump does. It seems we have to accept Trump for what he is because God does, while He awaits Trump coming in humbleness before Him:

"To all those 'bent out of shape' over the Trump internet meme.
RELAX. Trust the LORD.
Donald Trump seems to be proud, even narcissistic.
I'm not bothered by it. Neither should you be. The LORD is in control of human affairs, not you or me.
God's purposes cannot be thwarted. He often chooses to use proud rulers for His glory and the common good of His world.
So, to those going bat‑crazy over the Trump meme, I say again, "Relax!"
God will humble the proud, including you, me, and every human heart, even Donald Trump's.
But that's up to Him. In His time, according to His plans.

Throughout history, God has used proud, arrogant, even narcissistic leaders to accomplish His purposes.
Assyrian King Sennacherib marched against Jerusalem; Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar ruled with absolute pride; Alexander the Great conquered empires; and even Roman Emperor Nero thought himself untouchable.
In every case, God humbled those leaders. Every. Single. Time."

Wonder if he was saying the same thing when Biden and Obama were in office
 
Silly troop.


You have to be in Congress to get to do things like this.
Nobody should be allowed to take advantage of insider information, but I feel a little bit better about a Master Sergeant getting the grift rather than the friends and family of the Trump ass kissers oligarchy.

Can he use that in his defense? People higher up than me are doing it and everyone knows so what's the big deal?
