Yeah, I saw this one in several places. The corruption is blatant and painful at this point. One can’t even call it partisan. All Americans are suffering for the benefit of a very few in power and their friends.

If the Republicans spent half as much time actually governing as they do flattering Trump, maybe the world would be in a better place…

No it wouldn’t, because their idea of governing is mostly about making it easier for companies to screw the US. While getting rich doing so.

Which is also how centrist democrats operate, but they also know we need treats in the form of social safety nets. Which make it seem like they’re on our side, but also on companies side.
