Theory is that you need 3.5% of the population to overthrow a tyrant.
To do that you need clear values that the majority of Americans want and can organize around.
Here’s a few
1. Term limits for Congress
2. Term limits for Supreme Court
3. No insider trading for Congress
4. Take money out of politics
5. Limit length of political campaigns
The vast majority of Americans support all of those.
We wouldn’t be in the position we are today if those were in place.

Are you suggesting overthrowing the twice elected and current president of the United States? ....you are.
You're the little fish I keep catching and throwing back grow up.

Since he’s currently ignoring the oath he took at his inauguration sure, but entirely through constitutional remedies.
Congress’ failure to assert its Article I powers is inexcusable
If the five things I listed became the law we would not be in the position we are now.
Which of the five do you find objectionable?

1. Term limits for Congress
2. Term limits for Supreme Court
3. No insider trading for Congress

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Marsh can't and won't just debate the issues, it's not in his MAGA , nature to have a civil conversation, but I for one certainly feel strongly about getting term limits, times change, the world theater changes, the climate changes (unless of course it admitting it threatens your agenda), to have 80 year old lifetime members of congress and the supreme court isn't a reflection of anything. The grifting going on in politics is unreal and Trump and Clarence Thomas are the poster boys for the shameless grifting going on.

Marsh will do the Trump thing deflect and insult, it's just who he is.

Well it seems like the First Felon has spent his first week on culture wars rather than any of his campaign promises.
Before you know it we’ll be told that no eggs and higher prices for bacon are good for us, the American thing to do.
I place most of the blame for where we are at on Congress, for the past fifty years it has worked for itself, not the voters.
Fifty years ago I knew almost every business owner in town.
All that middle class entrepreneurial money is gone, little by little.
Some is left in unique businesses but you no longer can go to your local banker, borrow money and sign the note. There’s no local banker, you think the bank that’s been bought ten times in the last fifty years and covers several states cares?
It’s the result of Tax policy, the rise of lawyers and MBAs in business and the legislature.
Both parties participated in offshoring jobs.
Congress including both parties were bought by big business and the wealthy.
Now they are openly controlling the presidency.

It won’t end well, Zi Jinping is grinning while FFOTUS is attacking our allies, neighbors and whoever he thinks is weak.
Meanwhile China is telling them, we can help you, no tariffs, we won’t invade you, our military spending is half of the USA and we have no military bases outside our borders.
Let us instead upgrade your ports, railroads and infrastructure. We will build manufacturing facilities in your country for our mutual benefit.
The Felon is threatening them with invasion, tariffs and killed the soft power he had with foreign aid.

Wonder who they’ll pick?
