Sadly true. There shouldn't be billionaires.. It is not a giant Monopoly game. Things go too far often with people who amass too much money. Often doesn't help them that much while it hurts others. Can get purposed very wrongly.

I remember that well and it is so true and exactly why we will never need another presidenbt who isn't concerned with upholding the rule of law.

The Reps, (especially extremist group) do too many things even their own side don't really want. If they keep doing it, they will keep losing. Doubt whether I'll be using Kleen-X over it either.

I think Ama Udolfa is totally right and the GOP spends a lot of energy keeping poor people down, hungry, scrambling to survive so they won't have the energy to vote, protest, refuse bad jobs and crime filled neighborhoods etc.
GOP gets so much corporate and government handouts themselves- greedy tone deaf idiots.

Republican wins are often the result of gerrymandering, what I would characterize as a type of election fraud.

Real Church Committee Advises Jim Jordan's "New Church Committee" to Change Course
Story by Dennis Aftergut, Norman Ornstein, and Stuart Gerson • Yesterday 2:15 PM789276408 Comments
>Rep. Jim Jordan is one of the most powerful members of Congress. He chairs both the House Judiciary Committee and its new subcommittee on the "Weaponization of the Federal Government." House Republicans have declared that Jordan's investigations are "modeled" after the "Church Committee," the famed 1975-76 Select Committee on Intelligence Activities created after a series of scandals involving the CIA.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan presides over a hear
On Wednesday, a bipartisan group of 28 distinguished, former government officials who staffed the Church Committee wrote a letter describing how Jordan might be able to replicate that committee's success, if that were his actual aim. Based on the subcommittee's embarrassing first meeting on February 9, however, and Jordan's statements and actions, it's clear that he has no such intent. Indeed, the letter from those former Church Committee members elucidates the degree to which the Republican labeling campaign is a pathetic branding exercise.
On Wednesday, Jordan issued his latest slew of subpoenas, this set going to CEOs of five Big Tech companies from Alphabet to Microsoft. The new subpoenas reaffirmed that he's on a wholly partisan crusade to prove his crackpot theories that the Biden administration and the FBI censored pro-Trump messages and trampled on the First Amendment rights of conservatives. This is nothing like what the Church Committee sought to achieve.
The Church Committee letter signers are quite remarkable in their backgrounds, breadth, and experience. They include former holders of a long list of important government positions.
The committee they staffed was one of the most effective investigative enterprises in Congressional history. It produced recommendations that turned into historic reforms in American law enforcement and intelligence systems. Those reforms included the creation, among other things, of a permanent Congressional intelligence oversight committee and FISA, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
In contrast to the Church Committee's productive foundation, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy got the Weaponization Subcommittee off on the wrong foot. While the Church Committee was launched with an 82-4 bipartisan Senate vote in January 1975, McCarthy proceeded on a purely partisan-line vote, with 221 Republicans voting to approve the committee and 211 Democrats voting against it as a partisan sham.
As the authors of the letter note, the subjects of the investigation were also bipartisan, spanning multiple past Democratic and Republican presidential administrations. The Church Committee "criticized certain intelligence activities as imprudent or improper under both Democratic and Republican presidents." This already is not the case with the Jordan committee, which feels more like a Donald Trump protection racket.
The Church Committee's bipartisan origins facilitated the cooperative two-party operation which was the gateway to its success. Its staffers' letter lays out how its achievements were a function of collaborative leadership: "As chair, Frank Church worked closely … with fellow Democrats [and] with the panel's Republicans." As a result, Republicans and Democrats alike "strongly supported the Committee's essential investigative mission."

Over the years I have come to believe that life is
full of unchosen circumstances, that being human
has to do with the evolution of our individual
consciousness and with it, responsibilities for choice.
Pain and joy both come with life.I believe that how
we respond to what happens to us and around us shapes
who we become and has to do with the psyche or the soul's growth.
