there are a whole lot of people who have lied to congress under oath in the tech sector, in the military in the FBI all you have to do to fuck them over is just charge them.

If we can get a double feature of a Milley and Fauci trial for their lies to Congress, we could begin to truly fix this nation.
What I'm saying is AFAIK only congress has power to fire a general basically.

Can’t the president also fire officers since he is their boss?
He can order them court-martialed by the JAG corps, or in very extenuating situations summary execute them. I think stating that you are willing to perform a military coup in front of national television is sufficient for the latter.

Didn't Milley say that about Trump? Which is why they didn't charge him. Orange Man bad m'kay.

We either need to speed up replacement of the Neo-Cons and RINOs…or start the creation of our own political party already.

Sorry man but you honestly the formers happening faster then I thought it was going to happen and the laters a dead letter option because the populist movement is having success. This is going to be a multi decade event it will happen but its going to be awhile.

Just remember every time you agree to a law you are signing your own death warrant in some manner. EVERY... SINGLE... TIME...

To be honest, the whole process of writing sweeping bills is something I've been suspicious about for a while (as I wrote here).

In fact, even just glancing at Congress.gov and picking a couple of random bills to read should tell you how amended to Hell they are with all sorts of riders and re-wordings that'd make the people who supported the base idea tear their hair out.

Frankly, we could've avoided much of this if voters stopped projecting their own ideals and sensibilities onto the politicians who decide what actually gets passed. Because ultimately, you are not in charge and you don't write the legislation you want passed. They, on the other hand, do — and by the time they're finished, odds are the final product will be unrecognizable compared to what you were actually hoping for. :(
