It is all about the base and holding on to their jobs. This is probably the best argument for term limits. I have always had mixed feelings about term limits as I would hate not having experienced people the Congress, but since they haven't passed any meaningful legislation in decades with the exception of Obama Care, maybe it doesn't matter.

I predict Donald Trump will win if Kamala Harris is the nominee.

Sticks48 comments on Jul 7, 2019:

Trump fatigue alone will drive folks to the polls to get him out. There isn't a Dem running whose policies scare me. There are some Dems running who will not be able to handle Trumps full frontal assault once we have a nominee. She is not one of those people. I like her.

Sticks48 comments on Jul 7, 2019:

People are attracted to who they are attracted to, period. No one has ever talked me into who I find attractive. That is such bullshit. I see men with plus-size women all of the time. People complaining about this sort of thing are generally pissed off because the person they are really attracted to isn't attracted to them. It is like when I have had women friends who say they can't get laid. Of course most can. What they mean is they can't get laid by the person they want. When a man says he can't get laid, he really can't get laid, by anyone. :)

This is just a random thought of mine, and it's completely tasteless.

Sticks48 comments on Jul 2, 2019:

Evagelicals are about Roe v Wade, period. Republicans live off deficits. They have since Reagan. They come in and lower taxes ( Daddy Bush raised taxes and it ended him ) and create deficits. The Dems get elected and have to raise taxes to pay down the debt. The Republican start yelling about how the Dems love to raise taxes and they get put back in office. This is a cycle we have been in for awhile. Americans, being fairly dim for the most part, fall for it most of the time.
