So how do you get the lobbyist out of the picture or perhaps my regulation is need on what lobbyist can do. I am not advocating 8 years as the term limit but having guys like Lindsey Graham, Orrin Hatch, Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McTurtle, or Diane Finestine still have power when they are close to 80-90years old is ridiculous.

I might be wrong about this, but lobbying seems like a good candidate for First amendment protections ("petition the government for the redress of grievances").
You are probably right, and that sucks. Then all lobbying should be completely transparent and public. Nothing allowed behind closed doors, and all monies that change hands needs to be publicly announced and tracked. Frankly the money aspect needs to be limited or removed entirely, no money can move from a group engaging in lobbying to any politician, even as a donation to their campaign. Not allowed. You want to try to exert power over the political process, then do so with ideas, not cash.

Never Forget the awfulness of the last Republican administration
Oh yeah, I remember the desperation that lead Obama to wear a tan suit. Can you believe it? A tan suit! A TAN SUIT!!!1!1!1!!!
Obama: "My poll numbers are a lower than I'd like them to be. Got any ideas how to bring them up a little?"
Random Person: "Have you considered wearing a tan suit?"
Obama: "That's so ****ing crazy it just might work!"
Some Other Random Person: "But Mr. President, let's think about this. You're talking, seriously talking, about possibly wearing a tan suit. I mean you understand what you're talking about, right? Your suit would be tan. Like you know, tan."
Obama: "Yeah, I actually have a tan suit already. It's pretty nice. I actually look amazing in tan."
Random Person: "Sir, you always look amazing. I think you should go for it. Can you even imagine the looks on people's faces when they see the President of the United States of America strut out in a tan suit?"
Some Other Random Person: "This could backfire, sir. This could seriously backfire. I mean there's being a little edgy, being hip, but a tan suit might be pushing things a little too far."
Obama: "Yeah, **** it! I'm wearing the tan suit."

This would be collusion

Nice to see this collusion confirmed. Mueller did not get into the counterintelligence aspects of the Russian investigation into the 2016 election, but we knew Manafort shared this data, and that it would be useful if Kilimnik passed it up the chain. And really, of course he would have done so.

By tonight, Trump is going to be telling us that, “Rudy is just some guy I barely knew who did some things for me. Very minor things not illegal things that I didn’t even know about.”

The cool thing is that I probably won't even hear or read about it.
It's been so nice not seeing trump in the headlines. Politics have been mostly removed from my life similar to pre trump. So nice

Sometimes I wish I could remove myself from that. I was very political when I was young, but then moved away from it. When Sanders came to prominence, I found a politician who I identified with and it revived my interest but it also has caused a lot of stress for me combatting those who were opposing him. It's not a good feeling but now I am too emotionally attached to give it up.The cool thing is that I probably won't even hear or read about it.

Seems like Solomon might “go through some things” after today’s news. It’s almost like he was peddling Russian disinformation for Hannity and Trump…
I really want to dump this thread and move on. Sure, justice needs to be served. Yes, crimes need to be identified. But three months out you need to start spending the bulk of your time planning for the future.
Don't let a toxic relationship drag on too long

I'm actually holding out for the day when I can watch Trump getting loaded into the back of a police car. I'm going to enjoy that day.

Maybe we get lucky and his diet, lack of exercise, and his age catch up to him first.
