We only got to vote for senators in 1913.
When they were designing the government Ben Franklin wanted the politicians in Washington to be unpaid. Do it as a public service. That would assure only rich men would be running the show.

Liberal and conservative means decisions immediately based in emotional attachments.

Moderates first learn facts before making a conclusion. Moderates are not driven by rhetoric. Moderates are informed. Conclusions come later.

Both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump are similar. Both are only driven by entrenched political biases. (In Donald's case, exaggerated by his mental abilities - a 30 second attention span.)

I want one! Trump demands military parade like Macron’s

President Trump has told the Pentagon to plan a grand military parade which could put tanks and troops on the streets of Washington.
Preparations are under way for a display inspired by Bastille Day celebrations in France, it was reported last night.
Mr Trump was dazzled by the parade he watched with President Macron last year, which included tanks, jets painting a Tricolour over the Arc de Triomphe and a brass band performing hits by the electronic duo Daft Punk.

“The marching orders were: I want a parade like the one in France,” a military official told The Washington Post. “This is being worked at the highest levels of the military.”
Mr Trump said the Bastille Day parade was one of the best he had ever seen when he brought it up two months later at a meeting with Mr Macron.
Sitting next to the French leader, he said: “We may have to top it.”
The Times

That little Korean chap with the dodgy haircut also likes a nice parade.
