Somebody said, over Thanksgiving dinner, “Well, gee, if you kicked all the perverts and sex fiends out of Congress, you wouldn’t have much left…”
Ooh-ooh! Wait a minute! What a good idea!
I mean, where is it written that our country must be governed by creeps who, when they are not collecting money from lobbyists and betraying the interests of the wider public, spend most of their time chasing girls and women up and down the halls of the Capitol Building, or anywhere else?
Like, could we at least, uh, try being governed by sane and decent people instead of perverts, thieves, liars, idiots, and loons? What could it hurt, just to try it for a little while? We could always go back to a pervocracy, if we felt we really had to.
The American people, by electing Donald Trump, made it clear that they want people in office who will drain the Swamp–that is, Washington, D.C. Drain the Swamp, clean out the corruption.
Only of course the Swamp does not want to be drained. The Swamp resembles the Great Grimpen Mire in The Hound of the Baskervilles: one false step by man, pony, or dog, and it’s death–sucked all the way down to the bottom. I’m getting a sense that Washington does that to the people that we send there.
There’s something to be said for keeping all the crooks in Washington. It’s easier to keep on eye on them. Except nobody does seem to keep an eye on them, and they keep on wasting our money, mismanaging the country, and chasing girls and women up and down the halls. One close look at D.C., and you’ll be convinced John Calvin was right about Total Depravity and Original Sin.
Term limits might help, if you could ever get Congress to vote to put themselves out of business. Don’t hold your breath for that.
If I knew what to do, I’d tell the world; but I don’t. The Swamp will fight to stay alive and groping. The Swamp is rich, strong, and totally unfettered by any moral scruples.
Put our trust in God, and do our best.
The Swamp is populated by reprehensible creatures who will scratch and claw to stay there at all costs. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely – and so does blackmail, which is one of the biggest swamp problems in trying to drain the swamp. These pesky little fishhooks keep popping up at just the right times. I do believe that’s called control, and one of the main reasons nothing gets done in D.C. except whatever works against John Q. Public and for ‘the beast’.
Can you tell I’ve already read too much news today? !
Here’s another extremely terrifying thing DARPA and the Military Industrial Complex have in store:

Prayer and vigilance..
Yes, by all means, let’s stick computer chips into our brains. That will make us Smart! Especially when they do updates and try to fix small glitches by making bigger glitches. Yeah, that’ll work just fine.
They can’t even make a blog site reliable and now they want to implant something in our brains??????
Don’t worry; WordPress will be handling it, so nothing can go wrong.
The irony is we live in an increasingly Godless culture where every perversion is exalted, and then we seem surprised that there is so much debauchery in high places. Godless societies generally produce Godless men.
Dear Lord, please deliver us from the perversions that surround us!

They left out I for Imbecile.
Sooner or later they are going to run out of letters.
You could be on to something Watchman. Could that be why they’re repeating some letters several times already? Or maybe they’re trying to fit their filthy perversions into some cutesy little alphabet soup? Yeah, make it appealing. Sure. That’ll help.
Some days it’s really difficult to look at the condition of this world. Today is one of those days.
Come Lord Jesus!.
Or the more letters they add, the more easily people can be found guilty of “hating” if they accidentally leave a letter out or put it in the wrong place. Like Al Capone being caught on tax evasion when nothing else could be found to stick, a “hater” can be found guilty of inclusion-omission.
It’s not supposed to make sense. Demanding “sense” is patriarchal heteronormative logocentrism anyway.
William Buckley, Jr. is well-known for saying he would rather be governed by the first 535 names in the phone book than the people in Congress.
Entirely true.
What if they made serving in Congress a lottery, similar to jury duty?
I’ve heard that as a serious suggestion.
