Dear @realDonaldTrump: Please get the European Union to stop aiming nukes at America. Please get them to stop attacking our elections. Please get them to stop invading other countries.

Oh wait, the European Union is not doing any of the above. Are you out of your frickin mind?

And the point he makes about long term appointees needing to do their jobs as objectively as possible is one aspect that hyper-partisan framing seeks to destroy. And it is the glue that holds together any civilization, beyond just explicit rules.

This is the the very heart of the meaning of "a nation of laws, not men"

...gets good at their elected job, they have to leave it -- two terms and they are out.

Regarding term limits for the US Congress, the US Constitution is clear: you can be re-elected as many times as your constituents want, and when they are tired of you and elect someone else, your term is up.

I like our Democratic delegation from California -- long may they represent us in Washington.

is very happy with his grasshopper, trump is a one man wrecking ball destroying our country. We have an enemy within, and those compliant in the Congress, we need to be out in the streets on this, we saw our friends in the UK doing it and they know the urgency of how we got a dangerous man here.
