The hypocrisy of BIG government is truly on display today. Yesterday Pres. Biden mandated vaccines for the general public, yet today we find out that certain unions such as the USPS union, lobbied and received exemptions for their membership. To top it off, the vaccine mandates don't apply to illegal aliens crossing the border, nor do they apply to members of congress and their staff. What does that tell you about the crooked cabal that is running Washington?

Sad to say, but our confidence and trust that the federal government is working for average Americans has been totally undermined by these events.

Now ask yourself this? Why are the members of congress exempt? What are they afraid of?

Business as usual, same type of shit happened with Obama care. Anyone who thinks the US govt is out to help anyone but the beautiful people is smoking something.

Those in favour of a new 3rd party say  AYE.
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Not sure why this hasn't happened, Ross Perot had a large 3rd party in Maine going for awhile and it just died out after he lost in 92. He got a big % in Maine for 3rd party candidate, I think it was 20%?

Term limits is what we need as we are 2 greedy to vote out existing congress aholes. It comes back to your congressman sucks and mine does to but once in the booth we vote for our ahole as he/she gets us money in some pork bill.

C'mon Walrus, you know exactly why.  If there's one thing the Dems and Repubs have in common it's not wanting another party to challenge them.  So they'll do anything behind the scenes to make sure it doesn't happen.  It's just like certain issues.  Both parties will use them to rile up the base and fundraise off of.

 I agree that we need term limits. Congress shouldn’t be a career.

NO political position should be a career!  A 2 or 3 term limit for an individual in a jurisdiction.  The small county I grew up in had professional politicians.  treasurer 2 terms, recorder 2 terms, auditor 2 terms, & so on.  Same group always had an office in the courthouse.  Think about it, they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to run for positions that pay well less than $50 k a year.

one of my guys got the booster on Wednesday morning last week, then got sick and took off Wednesday at lunch. We were off Thursday for Veterans day and he called in sick again on Friday. But I bet he wont blame it on the booster... He really imbibes the MSM coolaid.

i am not telling anyone to get the shot or the booster.

but lets play devils advocate here. what if that same coworker got covid and was out for a long period of time?, what if that same coworker got quite ill from covid and spent time in a hospital or worse yet  died? are those better or more acceptable options?

my mother just passed away. we had an open visitation, prayer service, funeral, lunch and burial.  masks optional. some wore them, some did not. the only family who could not attend and wanted to was my unvaccinated niece and her family. they all had covid at the time and also were unable to see their grandmother and great-grandmother before her death  for the same reason.  they  were dead set against the vaccination but i bet if you asked them today their answer would be somewhat different.

to the best of my knowledge we did not cause or have a super spreader event because of it. i am thankful for that.
