Maybe Americans are smarter than I gave them credit for. Then again, the top 2 candidates have never held political office.

Corrupt = untrustworthy and oppressive, lets not forget exactly what government corruption is.

Corruption I can handle, it is the oppression and utter treasonous act of giving our country away that concern me.

Well here’s the contradiction...

People don’t trust government, and hate government corruption, yet they keep electing their same congressmen over and over, frequently because he’s done something for them, “fixed” their social security problem, “helped” with some alphabet agency etc.

The system is rigged so that you have to call your Senator or Congressman to fix a problem, sooner or later, and when you do, most people return the favor by voting for them, even if they don’t like them.

Casework is a big part of corruption, and a big part of why changing Congress is so hard.

Government is afraid, and that’s good. Yesterday, the Dept. of Homeland Security announced a push to establish a network of U.S. Federal Attorneys to root out terrorist and “anti-government” ideas on social media. RUH-ROE. Buckle your seat belts, patriots. The Bill of Rights is on its way to being declared subversive by the federal government.
