Why are so many politicians rich? How did they gain such great wealth while being “civil servants”? Seven of the top ten (nos. 1-6) richest congress(wo)men and senators are self-made multi-millionaires and made their scratch in the real world before they ran for Congress. Three, Richard Blumenthal, Diane Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi are career politicians, of course are Democrats, have never run a business, and rank 7th, 8th, and 9th of the 10 richest Congressional politicians. Could this be because Congress quietly gutted the STOCK Act, which was supposed to stop this bullshit, by removing a requirement to post disclosures about their financial transactions? None of these dipshits are subject to the same insider trading laws like you and me. Criminal.
The feds are justifiably going into sanctuary cities and arresting illegal immigrants who have committed crimes – the rationale is that these cities and the criminal illegal immigrants are in violation of federal law. Why haven’t the feds enforced federal anti-marijuana laws in states that have legalized marijuana? Why are the feds not shutting down facilities and arresting recreational pot growers in Washington State, Colorado, Oregon, Nevada, California, Maine, Alaska and Massachusetts as well as the host of states that allow medical marijuana use?
Here is a practical reason for not supporting the death penalty. Cost. In all cases, the cost to carry out a capital punishment case is far greater than housing a prisoner for life. This is because the Constitution requires a complex and lengthy legal process that jacks up the cost for capital crime cases. So, for this reason alone, the death penalty should be abolished to save taxpayers $ and put more lawyers out of business. The only possible way for us taxpayers to make any money out of this death penalty deal would be to put the execution on pay-per-view. Shit, a friend of mine made a point that there are tons of people who would throw down a hundred bucks, have a party with their friends, and watch a lethal injection. Think of the PPV revenue from a Utah firing squad, a Washington State hanging, or an electrocution! Cha-ching!
Why do women or gay guys wear jeans that have holes and rips in them? I just don’t understand why they pay hundreds of dollars for jeans that just look shitty. Is it baring a bit of skin? Or to convey to us normal people who have real holes in their clothes that “I’m just like them”? I’m confused by this obnoxious fashion statement. Don’t get me started on necktie widths. Or trouser cuff or no cuffs. Or Bill Clinton in boxers or briefs…God is he a turd.
Why, as soon as you turn 60, do you immediately need to sport a bib when eating or drinking anything? My wife, every time I eat or drink, points out that I have dripped or slobbered some mac and cheese, chili, or milky cheerios on my shirt, along with the drool. Please submit your ideas for an adult bib design – a Janis Joplin or Mama Cass one would be cool – oh wait, those bibs would be for vomit.
Bumper stickers. No one really cares that you ran “26.2” or “13.1” miles or that your kid is an honor student, or about your stick figure family. How insecure are you that you must announce on your car that you’ve accomplished something? All bumper stickers should be banned except “Term Limits for Congress”. End of story.
