In many cases, you just need someone to step up and make the damn decisions. Putin and Xi seem to be doing well enough.

I'm trying to figure out who'd be outraged at the thought of everyone casting a vote ... hm, the Republicans who are trying to suppress the vote, maybe?


On what planet were William Randolph Hearst or Andrew Mellon considered liberal in 1937?
Harry J. Anslinger, NOT a liberal! Criminalized possession of marijuana in 1937 because black jazz musicians were getting crazy on it. Can't have that!

I am not sure I think Xi is great, I think maybe to the Chinese, he is great. This said, I don't agree or disagree with the statement. I think as long as the people want somebody, he should be able to serve more than 2 terms.
That amendment was designed as much to protect us from ourselves and from the despot.
Just because the "American People" want something does not mean it is really the best thing for the nation.

Back to Xi, the Chinese People don't get to decide who is President of China.

Obama joked about a 3rd term, Clinton lamented the 22nd Amendment, etc.

They all get addicted to the power of the office and lament that it is temporary. Trump is no different, no better, no worse. All tyrants love their power and are loathe to give it up.
