This guy is a hard core Nazi traitor who tried to violently overthrow our democratic government. He literally attended the coup kickoff meeting from before the election. He deserves 400 years in jail, not 4 months.
“I got hit with a strap. Bam, bam, bam—and I’ve never been to a shrink—by my father,” Hannity told his guests, while conceding that Peterson “went too far” with his own son. “I would tell you that I deserved it.”
“I had welts when my father hit me in the legs with his belt,” Hannity told his guests as they detailed the allegations leveled against Peterson.
“My father punched me in the face when I talked back to him once, and I deserved it,” Hannity later said in the discussion while defending his dad’s alleged actions.
What a weird thing to brag about: being abused by your father but never seeking any help. I guess in conservative world if you admit something troubled you or you might need help, or if you question the authority of violent men, that’s perceived as weakness. What a miserable way to live.
“By the way, when my father would hit me with a belt, I didn’t actually raise my voice,” Hannity went on. “How did this country… You know, we used to be the land of the free, home of the brave. What happened? When did we become the land of the snowflake?”
I think he’s trying to say “if it worked for me and my dad, it’ll work for you and your kid”, failing to not that it did not, in fact, work for him, as evidinced by present circumstances.
If there’s a lower limit there should be an upper one. If we’re acknowledging that different people can be more or less capable in their 80s then we should do the same for late 20s.
But we won’t because anyone young enough is a “dumb kid” to far too many Americans, especially the ones ok with the status quo.
My thoughts on it should be that a politician can serve until the full retirement age as defined by the federal government, which is currently 67. Mental decline in later life is definitely a thing and I don’t feel like people who are in the age range for mental decline should be running the country.
As somebody who generally exists outside of all the cliques and status quos, I can’t comprehend how this isn’t already a thing (especially considering that age has been bumped up a couple times to keep “with the times”)
On paper this sounds good, but in practice I worry if people in power would end up going “lmao let’s increase the retirement age to 100” and then fuck over the citizenry even harder.
My thoughts on the congressional salary is that it should be a multiplier of the minimum wage and congress caht change that multiplier. They want a raise? Then they have to raise the minimum wage for everyone
I’m very much with you there. The other option was rooted in the idea of being invested in improvement for their constituants. As long as you crack down on “contributions” you’d probably also see a lot less PAC money in a whole lot of areas too.
But there should be more motivation for them to see the people succeed. The job itself clearly isn’t enough for a lot of them.
