1. Fair enough. But doesn't it matter who the corruption is going to hurt most?
2. My ideology has evolved pretty much every decade based on experience, changes in my life station, and seeing the fallout form the different administrations through the years. Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, GWHB, Clinton, GWH, Obama, and now Bozo.
3. Yes and no. **** does get done. It's just not the major revolution that a lot of folks wish for. It's always going to be really small baby steps as long as the foxes are guarding the hen-house - which is how the founding fathers framed it.
Trump is boasting that if he were convicted of collusion and other crimes that might lead to impeachment, he'll simply pardon himself.
These are the dudes to blame in the end.
To quote Neil Peart: "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice." Why not make the choice matter, if in even the slightest incremental way?
Like I said, I don't get the mentality.
