BREAKING NEWS
Nancy Pelosi announced that she would seek re-election in the House, ending months of speculation about her future.
Friday, September 8, 2023 12:37 PM ETSince stepping down as speaker of the House last year, Ms. Pelosi, 83, has relished her lower profile as a rank-and-file member, offering advice on an as-needed basis to her party’s new leadership.
she's made 198k a year for over 30 years but is worth 290 million. I wouldn't quit either.
And how did she "earn" all that money?
Ask Martha Stewart.
I think her husband sells hammers or something like that.

Looks like Biden is giving Iran, 6 BILLION, plus releasing 5 probable terrorist in a prisoner release. He says it good for security.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

At first glance, I gave that an awesome. Then I realized the elephant's sign doesn't accurately represent the Republican stance on firearms.
But there is some truth in it, in that both sides agree on the caption.

True. I gave it an awesome because of how hard I laughed, wasn't expecting accurate representation on complex issues.

I just saw a statistic that said that if you divide the national debt by the number of citizens, it's $98,600 per person. It's very hard not to just feel completely hopeless at this point regarding our current system, but as long as there's bread and circus nothing is going to change.

It's very hard not to just feel completely hopeless at this point regarding our current system, but as long as there's bread and circus nothing is going to change.To be more accurate, the total debt should be devided by the number of congressmen.

Ever notice how every time they start running out of money the first cuts are things like Day Care subsidies, National Parks, any service that actually helps the citizens who paid all the taxes these azz-clowns are so happy to fling across the planet.
Then, as soon as they get their $$, it's back to making sure the incredibly rich become even more fabulously wealthy, and the Military Industrial Complex gets fed the souls of our children.

until congress passes laws that forbids congress from making any money other then their salary while in office and an 8 year term limit, these things will continue. The military industrial complex, big pharma, and special interest groups control our government. They are all puppets. Doesn't matter who is in office. They are all elitist who believe we serve them instead of the other way around. The sooner the people unite against our government, the sooner we can take back our liberties and pay checks.

Scanned the news this morning, looking for information on the "debate", which I didn't watch. As I expected, only the insiders are reported on, and the focus remains on revolving around The Donald.
Seems bizarre to me that the media, the 4th estate, is doing its dead level best to completely ignore the only potential candidate on that stage presenting fresh and innovative ideas for moving the country forward instead of orbiting the Orange Star. I'm talking about Doug Burgum, of course.
Why?
I suppose that @silvermouse 's post above explains it all.

Expand it to, "To hold the rich and powerful and intelligence agencies accountable." and I'll like it even more.

Do you see anyone out there with the potential to be that unifying figure?
Arnold Schwarzenegger:
No. Someone has to come forward and talk about rebuilding the country in a great way and about the things that are really important rather than, “Should we have a bathroom for trans people?” All the little battles just hold us up.https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/10/01/magazine/arnold-schwarzenegger-interview.html
