Trump's ripping Pelosi a new one at his rally rn

ultimately I do agree the best option would be move the big things back to state level, but that aint gonna happen any time soon.
Too many people make their living (and a very rich one at that) off the big mess that is the federal government to ever let it change in such a way.

.
if i had the power
I would remove the federal government's power to tax anything other then imports (and I may not even give them that)
then I would have the states each agree to give a set % of their tax income to the federal government.
I would remove the federal government's authority to incur debt, if someone wants debt to fund a program they have to foot that bill personally.
I would make it so federal law can't be imposed on states, rather it would be all of the states agreeing on a single law unanimously, it would be reserved for the really clear cut things like "murder is bad"

this would clean up alot of crap, because then if a state were failing the other states wouldn't be paying for it, none of this "net tax contributor" crap.

that sounds pretty solid

I wouldn't even give federal agents any authority to act in a state, they are just a liaison who can be used to keep everyone in a case in the loop.

no federal police knocking at doors with no idea what the laws in that state are.

I don't think he has been impeached yet, Congress just voted to impeach him, but now the Senate has to agree.

I could be mistaken though

The Republican response should be to impeach the next Democrat president the second they gain the House, and turn impeachment into a tradition that is simply done as soon as they get into office.

I mean, it would be funny.

don't think it would be good for anything though.

funny enough, I don't think anyone has been kicked out of office by impeachment, I think the one guy resigned, and the other wasn't found guilty by Senate.

could be mistaken though.

Nixon got fully impeached but he resigned yes

Let's not. Let's say the dems were fucktards for doing this for the last three years and further that being a fucktard makes you incapable of running the country.

I agree with Boomer

lets have this set of 4 years go down in history as that time the dems fully lost their minds as a party.

if I were american i'd vote for bernie 🙂

why?

america is a bit too capitalist for me

@ARockRaider the impeachment is basically an indictment, just saying "we believe there is enough evidence to prosecute"

Nothing more

oh ok, it always sounded like there was more to it then that.

They wanna make it sound like more of a win than it actually is I'm sure

Well it's not like trump will lose in the senate

Yep

No the articles were filed, but until the Senate holds the hearing and comes to a verdict, there is no real impeachment

Look Lindsey Grahm has for most of his career been the most milquetoast bi-partisan cooperative SOB in government. At some point he recognized that the opposition were determined to be children about this and he became a hero. **Not** stooping to their level has a moral gravitas that cannot be measured.

A fair amount of Republicans would have to commit political suicide to get him removed from office

This ^

That's how shit the dems have become. Not being a total fuckwad makes you better than them.

I'm in Lindsey's district lol

That's a pretty easy bar to pass.

It is unbearable to be forced to agree with him on anything

But that's how things have swung

That's how I feel with Ted on certain things

I mean I grew up in Mitch's district and we made jokes about him. But now he looks triumphant for having basic human decency.

Well it seems that basic human decency is rare nowadays
