The Republicans already work outside the interests of society.

With the electronic age, why not?

They can work from home, like the President does from Mar-o-lago

In the end, it all flows from the top... The congress is starting to realize. Words matter - action and non- action matter. Do the job! Make sense for the people, and get it right.

Yeah, that 4% of DC that is Republican is destroying the Swamp.

the center of the US population is now in Missouri

I say its time for Adams, D.C.

Also, building an entire city would be a complete boom for the country, that alone would be hundreds of thousands of jobs.
I didn't touch that side of the argument but it makes good sense from the perspective of centralization and creating a more neutral city to govern from.

So what you're saying is if their words disagree with you, they should be shot?

I know people are going to attack me for speaking truth but as the attacks and casualties mount, the wisdom of this will become more and more apparent.
Aww, cry me a river!

The party controls Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Executive. It controls most of the governorships and state legislatures in this country.

How in the world is anyplace hostile territory for the GOP?

Could it be that things aren't going as planned for the conservative hegemony and it has to use the so-called "DC Swamp" as a scapegoat for its woes?

I don't believe in violence, am saying the congress need to do the job their were sent to do , make it work, pass laws that make sense and pass the budget. People are frustrated On both sides of the isle, this guy just a nut job, went over the top. He's is gone, but how many like him? , some conversation on here are scary at times. The whole political scene has lost civility.

In case you hadn't noticed, Republicans ARE the DC swamp. How many people from Goldman Sachs has Trump appointed? How many ethics waivers has this administration granted to lobbyists?
