Nah, I doubt it. Looks like he's pretty well been neutralized at this point.

And you didn't even mention the orange shite head in the WH. So you're kind of corrupt too.... OH, I'M SORRY, you just forgot, right?

I have argued with Russians before about how corrupt Russia is, and they always had examples of the U.S. doing very similar things. And all I could do was be like damn... maybe we aren't as ethical as I thought.

Russia is still worse in that regard, but it really did make me kind of re-evaluate.

I think so. What’s more disheartening is that what we know is just the surface level stuff. There is no telling what happens that we don’t know about.

Corruption at every level of govt, and we could pay 50% less in taxes and get all the same work done.

As one of the elite, I suggest y'all go back to watching wrestling and rating women you don't know on the internet

or else

It seems like we have a very serious corruption problem that prevents us from bringing justice to the rich and famous.



So not much has changed?

Well, maybe the gay black guy getting away with something is new.

You are a fricking idiot if you think one party is responsible for corruption.

Ha!!! ..this has nothing to do with party.. .. we are terminally corrupt...we're Roman Empire corrupt.. It's come to the point an honest man can only hope to earn a mere living... corruption offers the magnificent life that "our" dreams are made of. Consumerism has corrupted the American soul. If anyone here thinks things will get better...well, the ONLY way this freight train that diseases us can be turned around is if we, as an ENTIRE nation can wake up.. and somehow adopt a unified spirit of "what can I give"... rather than, "what can I get". Tough row....

The select few have always been corrupt. Depending on the times, some were/are more corrupt than others.

And they keep the populace distracted by modern technology and the fictional fight between left and right.

This is nothing new,it's been going on for many decades.

Some are just new to recognizing it for one reason or another.

The 60's were really interesting,made this stuff look tame.

Man - they’re selling you a line and you’re buying it like a sucker. Both parties and every media outlet are fully invested in making you think the other side is the enemy. It’s how they make money and secure power.

The reality is, none of them are on your side. It’s just marketing. They are all on the side of the rich and powerful. Quit being their patsy.

Yeah, they weren't quite as good with the subtle killings back then.

They've gotten better, which is scary as hell.
