Just sayin’….

I love, love, LOVE…that this thread is getting so much participation! The contributions and dialog are PRECISELY what the country needs…keep ‘em coming!

A mere year ago, I doubt this post would’ve scarcely received a glance…now, over 100 favorites and nearly 100 boosts! Spread the word! Engage in dialog! Work the tough problems!

@OGjester @JPummil I bet @AOC would be on board

@JPummil No, thanks

@MugsysRapSheet @JPummil fair. tax all churches is much better

@JPummil
Further thoughts:
• Peg congressional salaries to some function of federal minimum wage
• Civil and criminal fines and fees must be defined as a percentage of the offender's net worth
• Being convicted of bribing a government official, or of accepting a bribe as a government official, is an automatic capital offense
• Eliminate most executive powers, esp. any non-emergency-related domestic action (undocumented immigration is not an emergency)

@JPummil
Oh, and in addition to single-provider public healthcare, we really really need single-provider public legal counsel. No for-profit justice.

@OGjester @JPummil that’s the problem, we the people are ready for this and meanwhile in Washington milksops like Hakeem Jeffries are “abolish ICE? I don’t even understand what you mean”

@JPummil a good start... Although nothing about the environment or energy wut?... Pretty strange given the gravity. I would add at the very least: transition to renewables, hold polluters accountable.

@JPummil A convicted felon cannot be elected president!

@JPummil if it is not already in the list. Stop a president from ruling solely through decrees. This is just ridiculous.

Limit the amount in a given timeframe. Add a mandatory ratification time of 30 days - non extendable.

Restructure all checks and balances as they obviously don't work.

If the speaker of the house does not open the house he gets automatically replaced.

Representatives need to be in the house 90% of the time otherwise they get replaced.

@MugsysRapSheet @JPummil
Tax all churches and repurpose them as housing for those without homes, and separate churches for those with addictions. Have clergy provide mental health care without reference to external “power”.

@JPummil
Canadian here. How about eliminating presidential veto power and structuring presidential accountability with enforcement by jail and being stripped of all worldly possessions?

Just a suggestion from a furious neighbour.
