Right. Lots of rules were broken ... protocols ignored, lots of criminal leap frogging the regulations, etc. to get “O’Bozo” and Joe into the WH
You see where it get’s us. “Depart from the book at your own peril.” It's scary too when you think that the same monkeshines got their 'appointees' into their jobs, as well!
The lying. The hate. The dirty underhanded deals. The corruption. It’s all catching. One does all this. Shock is removed.. Several use it.. No lightening struck..
It becomes a way to communicate... They got away with corruption. It grows also.. Others partake.. It becomes a normal.. Hey, everyone does it..
And there you have corruption rules.. No one is bothered by it.. Habits formed.
