I cannot take the foul mouths of the MAGA cult in Congress and their assistants. It is disgusting. This is what our children are subjected to if they want to tune into government. This is what needs to be shelved, not the banned books.

If I tell someone I am trained as a plumber or a doctor, and I take the job and mess it up; isn't that a kind of fraud? Those we entrust with the very critical job of translating our aims and need into societal actions are the very last people we should allow to lie to us.
Exactly. And we are neither trained nor very attentive to the management responsibilities that come with democracy and self-determination. as well as "liberty and justice for all". We rarely discuss how when political power is divided among the electorate, we get a share of responsibility for outcomes along with a share of choice. We are supposed to be hiring responsible fiduciary representatives, not rent-a-lords.
We are supposed to have the collective right to set the ground rules for our own society, including commerce, and including the rich and famous. Corporate profits should never "tr#mp" the common good, or individual justice. "Deregulation" has only enabled bratty and dangerous behavior by those in positions of power, be that source of power money, political position, or guns and the threat of violence (think of the Bundy clan). The "government" Republicans try so hard to "drown in a bathtub) is not "bad" autocratic government; it is "government of the people, by the people, for the people" that frustrates their one-sided plutocratic aims.
Requiring one from candidates opens a whole can of worms, but considering what is at stake, even for our posterity, our criteria proves shockingly slipshod. You will expect be sacked from just about any job when found to be substantially lying to "the boss".
I think there is a difference between freedom of speech and hate speech. Lying speech. The lying is bad enough, but I think the hate speech is damaging and dangerous.

I'd like to speak to the manager about these people, but then I remembered the manager is ALL OF US.

Both require a license.

They call it freedom of speech, more like freedom to lie.

Yes, I think about FL, pro gun anti books. It sounds like a dystopian movie.
