People are starting to see that the 2-party system sucks balls. Time for a new dynamic.

2 party system is awesome.

1 is for all powerful totalitarian government. medling in your healthcare, monopolizing self defense, taking your money and planning your retirement their way with a ponzi scheme. telling you when you can or cannot do a job by licensing. telling you to pay tax because you wanna eat sugar or smoke.

and the other is for small government, get the government out of here! government sucks! i know best how to take care of my healthcare, retirement and i want to make my own choices if i smoke or drink and free exchange of good and services without a license

so they have to reacgh compromise. but the problem is it seems like the 2 party system it always seems the big govenrment side wins out in the end, and the governemnt goes overboard and than the system destroys itself and a new small govenrment gets build. the reall pendelum swingnig. not the one switching from bush to obama to trump or whatever!

but the real one switching from govenrment with 10.000 laws and regulations,. and then the system colapss. and a new small government gets set up. and growth starts.


/end rant!

(or as people who disagree with me prefer "/end trolling")



edit: ofcourse the repubs are not for small government anymore. they are for the big military industrial complex! and romney care etc. both parties seem corrupted!

I mean, Trump is a douche so I kinda don't care, but they definitely hate on Trump.

Sure, but there is so much negative stuff about him. He creates his own drama, and the news organizations are obligated to report it. Sometimes I wish they would ignore all his stupid stuff because maybe he'd quit saying stupid stuff if no one reported it. The more likely scenario is that he would say even more outrageous stuff because I imagine his worst nightmare is to be ignored.

This is sad. It is too bad some people feel the need to hurt others in their attempts to deal with their own problems.

He does create a lot of it, absolutely and deserves most of it. However, CNN seems to create a lot of negative press around things that aren't really news worthy - see the fish feeding story from Japan yesterday for example. To me, they feed the divide and sensationalize half of America. It's like they want the pilot to crash the plane we're all riding on.

Why is HuffPo running ads that aren't exactly calling out Trump on eating a ****ing hamburger in Japan but crooning by comparing his trip to Obama's, and how Japan has the best sushi in the world? Why do they give a rat's ***? Maybe Shinzo Abe wanted to treat Trump to his preferred meal. Maybe?

I don't want to read about this ****.

Same with the story about feeding the fish. Trump was shown dumping out his entire box of food to the fish. He was hit on over feeding and comments were made about the poor palace worker that would have to clean up the mess. How Trump was a buffoon who couldn't even feed fish correctly.

What they didn't include is that Abe did that exact thing first and Trump merely copied him. Crap like that is a perfect example of why so many distrust the media.

You understand that's not a news piece, right? Jeanne Moos does humorous stuff. She's been at it for like 20 years or so.

And the dog ear looked a hell of a lot like Trump. So there's that.

I know who she is. It wasn't just reported by her at CNN though. And yes, it looks just like him.

That is the conundrum. Kind of like term limits or congressional raises. These have been topic of discussion and vast vote disapproval but they continue uninterrupted since it means congress would have to take one on the chin, which they have proven again and again they simply will not do. No matter how good it would be for the country in general and in the long view, no politician will vote against their own self-interest on anything meaningful or long-term. The vast majority of them focus on what gets them re-elected and what gets them what they want (money and power).

You are so out of touch with this, Log.

I walk at work with a guy who's 71. He's been ranting and raving about state workers not getting the same pay raises or benefits as Utah state congressional members ever since I started here ten years ago. I politely correct him every time but he's one of those old guy repeater types, but has apparently been that way for several decades according to other co-workers.

Your rantings about this, like every other mainstream thinking, are exactly opposite and smell of old man think (no offense, I know you aren't there yet and I deplore the day I get there). Congress' pay is a pittance compared to their station and commensurate with their experience, and it's nothing compared to the Founding Father's pay. Go measure Washington's pay that he so humbly refused in comparison to gold. It was somewhere between $18,000,000 and $25,000,000 in equivalent currency, based on the price of gold.

What our current REPRESENTATIVES get paid is a shame. Pay them some more money and support honest and wise men and maybe the lobby issue will go away. Extra long winded addition: Look at Chaffets quiting the daily grind. That was one honest dude IMO, regardless of whether I agreed with anything he said or not. I would vote for him if he ran again, regardless of stance.

Another example of great reporting by CNN.
