“It takes special skill to make it to the Senate. It is one of the best jobs in politics. You do very little, you get massive bribes, and you get to live outside the law. As a result, it is a great job, which means it attracts the worst people in politics.”
H.L. Mencken and Ambrose Bierce would heartily approve.

What are people’s thoughts on term limits? Ideally people would institute term limits on their own but as we know, the average person is rather stupid and half of all people are even more stupid than that, thank you George Carlin. So considering the mischief and mayhem that career politicians inevitably cause and get into and the general stupidity of the electorate, do we need to mandate term limits? If we did and Congress critter finishes up their terms, what would prevent them from running a puppet and becoming their Chief of Staff or Senior Aid?

Term limits mean the Traitorous Deep State would have even more power than it does now.
Without term limits, there’s an outside chance someone can come into town and clean things up.
