@ArmchairW Congress is shackled by both lobby groups (who write the legislation) and by Israel, who own the lobby groups.

@ArmchairW In the 19th century the most important and fought over job was Speaker of the House. The Presidency was an a fterthought.

@ArmchairW I don't see the word "Israel" even once

@ArmchairW The government doesn’t work because it was never intended to govern 80 million illegals.

@ArmchairW The republic founded by Adams, Jefferson et al, was a sort of Platonic construction that assumed the legislature would be comprised of classically educated gentry. The industrial revolution turned it into roadkill. We don't have legislators capable of assuming that role anymore.

@ArmchairW The problem is simple: too many people are voting

@ArmchairW Nice but the real problem is one party is a criminal enterprise and the other is mostly just corrupt It’s got nothing to do with the structural foundations of the government

@ArmchairW US Constitution was written by rich men with intent to always give decision power to rich men Never was a democracy system Worked somewhat as long as the richs had 1- christian morality 2- US loyalty Then rich people in US started being christianophobic foreigners

@ArmchairW End of the road is some kind of Ceaser figure (not necessarily RW) who just says fuck this and arrests congress and ignores the judges, calling on the only faction that matters, the guys with guns An exercise of true power to cut through the dysfunction

@ArmchairW Congress was envisioned for a culturally homogenous society based on shared values at the time, thus it doesnt function in the foreign influenced cultural slop of modern US

@ArmchairW The vote-based democracy has hit an deadend. You can only vote for a package of policies, not individual ones. Your vote only counts for that election night, not a second after the result is out. Poll-based system has emerged as a better one, especially in the digital era.

@ArmchairW I’d argue the citizenry has largely abandoned control over our government by not participating in its management. The only way it can be properly managed is through a serious application of study and debate by more than 30% of the population. This creates a healthier

@ArmchairW a good wake up call about “democracy” is to talk to sitting members of congress

@ArmchairW Echos of the late republic roman senate abdicating their responsibilities in favor of strong men

@ArmchairW Read some Rothbard to understand why this was 100% predictable and how to address it

@ArmchairW Well, how can the congress function well when they are cucks for donors and Israel?

@ArmchairW Very good summary and excellent question posed in the closing. When there's been enough of a congressional consensus to support the President to pass major legislation, the party in control has made a right mess of things, passing bad legislation that lasts generations and

@ArmchairW Agreed. Congress is largely full of mid-wits, without core values or beliefs. Largely empty suits for sale to the highest bidder. I also think the center has largely been abandoned and so the debate piece is pointless. Left and right rarely cross the aisle on 80/20 issues

@ArmchairW To Congress, inaction is better than the wrong action, politically speaking. Of course they’ll support their donors causes but they don’t want to be on the wrong side of any serious legislation. They’ve even ceded their most solemn duty.. declaring war.. to the executive branch.

@ArmchairW Well said!

@ArmchairW Bang on the money, good to see.

@ArmchairW I'm sorry. You had me until you used the word "sportsball" and then I just couldn't muster the respect necessary to keep reading.

@ArmchairW The first step is to eliminate the 435 member limit on the House. They will have more manpower to actually govern and will need less time fundraising. And they will be accountable instead of acting like princes. Whatever excuses you've heard about keeping it are nonsense.

@ArmchairW Even if one believes the U.S. could somehow save itself, the system is utterly incapable of producing the kind of leadership it would take to begin to set things right. In fact, its leadership seems only able to act in ways that accelerate the country's decline.

@ArmchairW Two root causes I see. 1/ FIrst is money of course, but the ability to effectively "print" it. When that ceases then a whole world of problems die with it, and there are many reasons why that will eventually happen, but it won't be pleasant.

@ArmchairW @realDonaldTrump

@ArmchairW @cirnosad Do away with the Congress

@ArmchairW The simplest solution is to continue the direction of travel and fold most of Congress' powers into the the executive and the residue into the judiciary. No doubt there would be vociferous objections to elective monarchy, but would it be any worse in practice?

@ArmchairW What do you expect when there is only one congressman per 650,000 adults, one senator per 1.5 million adults and one president per 260 million adults? Maybe if we had 1000 times as many for each our opinion would matter and they would listen to us.

@ArmchairW Dude, The Jews simply own your mass media and most your politicians and judges. They are not even Jews, they are world economic elite hiding behind the Jew victimhood. Their CRT is what they used whole life and then applied to Antifa to be their Hitler Jugend.

@ArmchairW Congress has become the late stage Roman Empire Senate

@ArmchairW The bigger problem is that the Federal government was meant to do pretty much nothing other than handling the borders. It has expanded into one of the largest bureaucratic monsters in human history with its tentacles going everywhere.

@ArmchairW You forget to point out that the Emperor *loves* this because it brings both power in general...and the opportunity for grift. "Buy some $TRUMP coin and I will give you a discount to $0 on your H1B Visa fee"...

@ArmchairW Much of the "Imperial Executive" is the Federal bureaucracy operating on its own, often in defiance of the President and his political appointees. It's a de facto fourth branch of government, not described in the Constitution.

@ArmchairW Most Americans instinctually understand this. This is why Congress consistently has utterly dismal approval ratings.

@ArmchairW Biden also was constsntly filing fowl of Judical decisions proclaiming his policies "unconstitutional". Only difference was it took SCOTUS as all other levels of judiciary were loyal to the Democrats.
