The bipartisan solution to ending Uniparty, Deep State corruption in DC
Posted on 1/17/26 at 1:08 pm

Arrest “republicans” first. Try them in DC, where a jury would happily convict them. Then start on the Democrats once you have some scalps.
This is viable solution. The only impediment is Pam Bondi, who was placed there for exactly that reason.
We could start with Lindsey Graham.

Term limits plain and simple max 6 years and then out with the old in with the new.

Will not solve the problem. You’ll have even more unelected congressional staffers running shite than we do already. You’ll just multiply the Deep State problem

Tell me you’ve never worked in Congress without telling me you never worked in Congress.
If it’s not the Members, then it’s the staffers. Ridiculous excuse.
With Member turnover, you’ll have staff turnover; therefore, you trade unfettered power (Pelosi and staff) for pragmatism (staffers become experts knowing riding coattails of boss has limitations). But sure, you’ll never eliminate career staffers, but those numbers are far and few between.

The problem isn't Congress. The problem is Washington D.C. itself and the industry of politics that sustains it. There are 535 elected members of Congress. There are easily a hundred times that number of government positions filled by appointment and government hiring procedure. Term limits don't affect those. Term limits just mean more former members of Congress taking up those positions instead. People like John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Susan Rice haven't been elected to anything in decades if ever and they have always had more than their fair share of influence in government policy, position, and financial expenditure. Term limits aren't the answer. What is needed is a shrink ray that reduces the influence of politics and government over every other segment of life in America.

In Trump's first term the Republicans and Turtle were blocking all of his appointments and judges.
Lindsey Graham stopped this for Trump. So Trump will never tell Lindsey to go play elsewhere.

They decide what is placed before the committees and the content of the legislation. The legislators are just dumb as a rock window dressing.

ETA: And DCTiger crushed it with his explanation.

We are never going to be bipartisan again IMO.
Plus, the DS is friendly to the left so why would they join with us?

I wouldn't be surprised if in about a year every member of congress gets arrested. All on the same day or week. We all know (or should) that they are all corrupt.
Honest question is any member of congress poorer than they were when they entered into their current job? I will even entertain any whose net worth has only gone up by 10% annually. Any one???

Jesus. Ever been to Congress, let alone DC??
The problem 100% starts with Congress and if you can’t see that, you’re not paying attention. When was the last time appropriation bills were passed into law before September 30th? How many Congresses will it take to pass permitting reform. How many bills get introduced that don’t accomplish anything of substance for the American people? (Hint: 1000s)
The power accumulated in Congress far exceeds anything created in the Federal government (on the staff level). Confirmed nominees and political appointees only have “power” for the time they’re in the seat or the length of the Administration’s duration (4/8 years).
There’s zero correlation between thinning the herd in Congress with term limits and increasing the number of former Members heading into an Administration’s ranks.
FYSA — Kerry and Clinton were both elected Senators in the 2000s. Maybe read about Obama to understand why both served as SOS.
IMO Congress is a cesspool filled with grandparents and great grandparents, social media morons, people who cannot do anything else and are corrupted (by the system), and power-hungry narcissists who see the prospect of being a Member as greater than selling insurance in some podunk town and whose illustrious and/or exaggerated previous career is enough to get them elected to Congress by morons (in both parties).

Yeah, Kerry and Clinton were elected as senators, twenty five fricking years ago. How long is a term in the senate? Is it 25 years? Don't "you're not paying attention" me if you think people that stay in Washington two decades after the last time they were elected will not stay in Washington twenty years after they were elected because of term limits.

Kerry last served in the Senate in 2013 (13 years ago)
Clinton was 2008 (18 years ago)
Don’t use piss poor math skills and hyperbole to sell your stupid narrative against term limits.
You’re so concerned less than 2% of retired or former Members of Congress may take positions in an Administration, that you’d sacrifice having the likes of Grassley, McConnell, Schumer, Pelosi and several other members who have been in Congress for 30-40 years to continue that tradition.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a dumber argument AGAINST term limits. Do yourself a favor is stay off the Poli Board. This ain’t for you. Try the Soccer or Book Boards.

It is already in their hands. How do we get rid of unelected beaurocrats? Eliminate government positions.
That is the heart of the matter.
Government employees should also be subject to term limits. 10 years and then you have to find a job in the private sector. No retirement benefits for time served beyond social security. They can plan for retirement just as well as the average Americans do.
