ramblings...

 How did we get here?..a candidate who is leading in the polls for one party who has been indicted...not once..not twice but THREE times now. The worst part is knowing the news industry has two sides. They play to their audience and they don't seem to know where the truth ends and the lies start. Its called "the spin". With good "spin" you could convince anyone of anything. We see it time and again. You could take a trump supporter and show him a video clip of some heinous behavior that seems to permeate his being. Then play a clip of Trump denying he said that. You ask the person again and he says it never happened. These aren't stupid people and countless hours have been wasted arguing and families and friendship destroyed because you think your right and the other person is an idiot. 

    The other answer is "well the other side does it too" and I believe there is more than a hint of truth in that. It seems that neither side of the aisle is fighting for us but enriching themselves at our expense. A figure I saw said Mitch McConnell has voted down increases in the minimum wage something like 10 or 15 times while voting to increase his own salary approximately the same number of times. Really?..yet the people in his district keep voting him in. why?

  Another question is term limits. we have them- they are called elections. When a long time politician is re-elected yet again after a easy campaign against a local no one , people scream for term limits because there's no other way to get rid of the person. Term limits work both ways and against both parties so as long as we have a two party system this isn't going to change. Probably why you don't see much complaining about it.
