“If they’re not corrupt when they get elected they soon will be. The Swamp is a very corrosive environment and its political machinery quickly turns good people into ‘pliable’ ones.”
geez, sounds like prison:
If they’re not a crimal when they get inside the penitentiary they soon will be. Prison is a very corrosive environment and its political machinery quickly turns good people into ‘pliable’ ones.
Its a gilded prison, but a prison nonetheless because once they turn you you’re a captive to their demands.
There’s a well know maxim on Capitol Hill: “To get along go along”.
Going against the grain is not without consequences in the DC Swamp.
