That bill has no chance

nuggetsfan1.bsky.social•144 days ago

Would be nice but it’s a pipe dream.

glenu.bsky.social•144 days ago

Oh wow his Wikipedia is very neat. No PAC funding at all. One of 10 federal congressmen to do so!

copernicussees.bsky.social•143 days ago

Yes, and Ro no doubt wants a pony too. Obviously that can't even remotely come to pass, so it is all more spleen venting after another devastating loss for the party. Because it is led by geriatrics.

ezpappi.bsky.social•144 days ago

Oh yeah? And what’s next? A real democracy with more than two, equally corrupt political parties? 😊

bigamishdoinks.bsky.social•144 days ago

Lol good luck with that on Ro. Easily one of the dumbest reps in congress

angryvillagers.bsky.social•144 days ago

Username checks out. You sound exactly how I imagined the dumbfucks in the DNC sound. Maybe just more muffled on account of the head being so firmly up the ass. This is something that bring people hope that there is at least someone trying. You’re dumb, not Ro. Why don’t you go poll yourself?

bigamishdoinks.bsky.social•144 days ago

Way to miss the joke big guy

imgumbydamnit.bsky.social•144 days ago

I can't imagine how stupid one must be to call him dumb 😂😂

gyost09.bsky.social•144 days ago

Prefer Congressional age limits to term limits. Unlike SCOTUS justices, who should serve 18-year terms, they have constituents who can vote them out.

gmsingh123.bsky.social•143 days ago

I'm unclear on the connection between lack of term limits and corruption.

boyishman.bsky.social•144 days ago

Let's pass my unconstitutional bill, said the idiot.

arxoclay.bsky.social•144 days ago

Highly unlikely all of these pass as a single bill. Love the essence of the bill though!

davidwewing.bsky.social•144 days ago

Very demure

lincolnskayak.bsky.social•143 days ago

Can all this get done before January 20th?

twintremere.bsky.social•144 days ago

Pelosi is about to strangle them in their sleep lmao

donnamenner.bsky.social•144 days ago

Sounds good!

rational.bsky.social•144 days ago

Sounds great, good luck with that

avg999.bsky.social•144 days ago

He could have done this during Biden’s term, but waited till December 28, 2024? 🙄

dimedoppler.bsky.social•144 days ago

Isn't it still Biden's term?

avg999.bsky.social•144 days ago

Why yes it is. I guess my point breezed bayou

dimedoppler.bsky.social•144 days ago

Yup, I don't get your point but if you're not trying to explain I won't lose sleep. Makes zero sense to me.

avg999.bsky.social•144 days ago

Bless your heart

smb6789.bsky.social•144 days ago

Makes sense
Never happen with a Republican majority

Ever

cristian2023.bsky.social•144 days ago

democrats and republicans will make sure this bill never gets passed! Never!

emmettswarat.bsky.social•144 days ago

This would have massive positive ramifications

marcosinna.bsky.social•144 days ago

Seems like the only chance of a corruption cleanup will be after the next 4 years.

coryvinny.bsky.social•144 days ago

Doesn’t he say this like every 3 months and it goes literally nowhere?

socialspark.bsky.social•144 days ago

You should put that on policies for the people. It would be nice

oldfolkswhisper.bsky.social•144 days ago

The thought is there. Perhaps it could get done, in very small steps at a time.

jasonsevered.bsky.social•144 days ago

Never be deceived that the rich will allow you to vote away their wealth.

styl-z.bsky.social•144 days ago

🤣 good luck with that!

balsohard.bsky.social•144 days ago

You’d have to start this in a new country. That far too much power to the people.

dimedoppler.bsky.social•144 days ago

The cronies will never.

edmunoz.bsky.social•144 days ago

he is all talk

suebarrbrown.bsky.social•144 days ago

Bingo

ahuss01.bsky.social•144 days ago

This is going nowhere because both Dems and Republicans benefit from that type of corruption

andrewaferrante.bsky.social•144 days ago

Taking "drain the swamp" too seriously

nobletruther.bsky.social•144 days ago

Literally none of that will happen but okay.
