Not to quibble but that's not actually what happened. He got out of his plane, walked over to the garbage truck and got into the passenger seat just to take questions from reporters.

True dat. Every bit.

Maybe I'm assuming too much here, but....do you realize that voters who vote early cannot vote on Election Day? How is voting early (from either Republicans or Democrats) anything other than cannibalizing the election day vote? Can you explain your reasoning there? Interesting that you...

Early voting is notoriously difficult to draw actual, real-life conclusions from. Especially in states where you are not required to register as one of the 2 major political parties. Not to mention there's probably a better than even chance that Trump continues to lose vote share in...

Maybe you have a simple career and life and daily schedule that makes it so you are guaranteed to be available to vote in person on election day every 4 years, but not everyone plans their life around election day (thank goodness), and even if they did, sometimes life intervenes and unexpected...

If everyone who wants to legally vote has the opportunity to legally vote then it's not a question of "fairness". You may not like the way it's done currently with some different guidelines by state, but if voters all have the same opportunities to vote, that is in fact "fair". Or does "fair"...

Life in the real world says that we abide by the laws as they currently are written, not as we would wish them to be written. That's reality. If you want to change that, work within the system to change it. States have state elections going on the same day, and on the same ballot, as federal...

Informing oneself about the different types of votes and how votes get counted in different states (very different rules in different states) will go a long ways towards helping voters understand that not everything you don't like is a conspiracy - from *either* side. You have to want to be...

I used to work some in D.C. in the political sphere so I have some experience. Several things would make a major difference. - No golden parachute into the lobbying world until at least 10 years after you retire from Congress. This would go a long ways towards de-incentivising those people who...

Someone has to be responsible. You don't have to know all the backroom deals to be able to keep your representatives accountable, you have to know the difference between what they say while campaigning, and what they do while in Congress (or the WH). That much is easily knowable. Voters who...

As with so many things, ignorance is not an excuse. I do blame the voters, especially when they continue to send rotten politicians back to Congress again and again. There's no such thing as an honest or good politician. There are only some politicians who aren't quite as bad as others.

Pass a law that no member of Congress can retire and become a lobbyist sooner than 10 years after they leave Congress and watch Congress change overnight. Of course no law like that could actually be passed because....*CONGRESS* would have to vote for it lol. We have term limits. It's called...

Agreed. George Washington had some pretty harsh things to say about the evils of political party partisanship.
