Are cult Senators completely unemployable outside of the Senate? Is that why they fear being primaried?

Shouldn’t have gone to all those orgies, I reckon.

[DeepWinter]

1. I want term limits on the House, Senate, and Court.

Go in knowing you have a fixed limit of time.

[OldBaldy1701E]

20. Hear Frakking Hear!

[usaf-vet]

34. I TOTALLY agree. There are downsides, such as losing members like Pete Buttigieg, but the upside is that MTG, Mace....

...... RoJo, aka Ron Johnson, and dozens of others are gone.

[Irish_Dem]

2. Being a US Senator is a huge wonderful grift.

All the insider trading tips. All the perks, honors, prestige.
Billionaires throwing money their way.

Get to throw their weight around and control and bully others.
Get a lot of attention and fame.

The narcissistic sociopaths love it.

[rubbersole]

3. Now, to even pretend to have 'power'...

...you must kiss the ass of the richest man in the world. tsf has been doing it for 20+years to daddy-vlad so he's practiced for Elon. No wonder Elon was jumping on stage. He won it all.

[Irish_Dem]

7. Elon was high as a kite on drugs and on the power he knew was coming his way.

He is the richest man in the world and one of the most powerful now.

He has the entire world at his disposal.
Enormous power and control over every person on the planet.

His dream come true.

[Starlight27]

8. So true!

True and frightening

[mdbl]

13. Every James Bond villian would be jealous

[Irish_Dem]

14. Yes and we have no James Bond to rescue us.

[Otto_Harper]

16. I'll try out for that job

As soon as I getmy oxygen cannula in place and make it to my walker.

[mdbl]

18. sent your name to MI5

[Irish_Dem]

23. He might actually be a good asset for some jobs.

Older guy on oxygen shuffling around on a walker.
No one would think he is MI5.

[Irish_Dem]

19. ...

[Conjuay]

9. Yeah, it's

ALMOST as good as being a supreme court justice.

[Irish_Dem]

11. SC is the ultimate grift.

Your clerks do all the work and feel privileged to do your job for you.
You don't even have to say one word during open court, like lazy Thomas.

Perfectly legal for billionaires to pay you to swing cases their way.
You get to live a luxury lifestyle as a public servant.

All the perks, power, prestige, high honor the US has to offer.

No one will ever challenge or question you. Or have any power over you.
You answer to no one, ever.

And a lifetime guaranteed job.

[BigMin28]

17. Protection

from the masses. Remember they feel very threatened.

[Irish_Dem]

24. Oh yes. They are deep into their victimhood and rage.

No one appreciates their genius.
And their right to be the ultimate power.
People dare to question them?
People dare to not adore them?

They get back at us with their cruel medieval rulings from on high.

And yes surround themselves with high level tax payer funded security.

[peregrinus]

31. Flown around the world on fact finding missions. Local college might name building after you or maybe an airport

[Irish_Dem]

33. Oh yes big boondoggles all over the world paid for by US taxpayers.

[RandiFan1290]

4. The cocaine orgies?

Madison Cawthorn talked about those and MTG recently mentioned something...

Media went silent

[Irish_Dem]

10. Sex and drug parties.

Whatever you want is available, no questions asked.

[Bluethroughu]

15. Is that why Merrick sat back while our Democracy was in the balance.

Did nothing to the sex trafficking of underage girls.

Took years and did nothing to the planners, funders, and executers of an insurrection by a sitting president with aid by "Congressmen" and SC and wives.

[Irish_Dem]

22. There are long time unspoken rules in Washington D.C.

The sex, booze, drug, hooker, minors party time are legend and of long standing.
Anything you want, no questions asked.

Everyone in DC knows about these parties. Politicians and other DC regulars.
The Secret Service parties while on duty has been going on for decades.

The rule is that no-one outside the beltway ever hears any of this.

John McCain used to call Obama "a good family man."
This meant that Obama was not doing the sex and drug party circuit like everyone else.

Lots and lots of secrets. Everyone knew George Bush Senior had a long time mistress stashed
in Georgetown. And that one sitting Vice President was never seen and heard from after
he was sworn in. He was a stalker and flasher, kept under wraps and admitted to a sexual deviancy
treatment program in DC.

And yes everyone knows the planners, aiders and abetters of J6.
Top level politicians, staff, wives, etc.

The deal was cut to leave them alone and Liz Cheney could go after only Trump.
Everyone else has been protected.

[Bluethroughu]

25. It's a sewer.

These are not our best.

[Irish_Dem]

26. Yep.

Men with money and power.
They get everything they want.

[Bluethroughu]

29. Greg Palast said one of the Koch's said, "I want my fair share, and that's everything".

[Irish_Dem]

30. They believe that everything belongs to them.

The billionaires and dictators.

Putin certainly believes Europe and the US belong to him.
And he has captured the US and is making it a Russian vassal state.

Xi in China also believes all the world's resources belong to him.
China believes the Pacific is theirs.

[Mike 03]

12. Wasn't that fascinating? It seems that for MAGA

politicians, anything goes. But when Cawthorn mentioned drug-fueled orgies he had been invited to, presumably by GOP, they politically executed him in a matter of days by releasing that hacked video of him and his buddy.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. It's more love of power than fear of pay cut. Megalamania (MAGAlamania) authoritarianism

They love to see how high they can climb. They all dream of a career or an event that thrusts them into high office. They leave only when they sense they won't climb any higher.

[TommieMommy]

6. Could be 🤔 makes sense

[OldBaldy1701E]

21. That orange gibbon is not the only one who knows...

Being a government official (or being very connected to one) can keep a lot of things at bay. Until one does not have the protection of the Secret Service or local police, or has control over things that the police would like them to be generous with, and so on... THEN they might have to be held accountable.

[Ocelot II]

27. They can always get lucrative jobs with lobbying firms.

It's that they don't want to lose the special perks and prestige that come with being a Senator and that almost no other job offers.

[getagrip_already]

28. Most are independently wealthy.....

But those that arent soon will be.

The grift is strong. Between trading on insider knowledge, giving info to others who become grateful with jobs to family, gifts of stock, bitcoin, etc.

But the shear oppulence of the job is a drug. They have staff to do everything for them. They can get a reservation anywhere they want whenever they want and expense it. Lobbyists fawn over them.

The job is a drug. They dont do it for service. They do it for themselves.

[Bettie]

32. They tend to be wealthy going in

and more wealthy every term they serve.
