Has the breaking point been reached?
American Thinker ^ | 5 Aug, 2025 | Dennis Lund

When we think of corruption, the first thoughts usually are of bribery or other forms of obtaining favors from politicians or officeholders. Think Senator Robert Menendez or the ‘foundations’ of former presidents or public officials. Those are the blatant forms, which are all too common with today’s politicians, some just do a better job of hiding it than others, while some seem to not be required to hide it.

When we look at the Democrat Party of today, can anyone honestly say that they have not been corrupted? In years past, they stood for something; the members of the Party could be believed when they said they love their country. That is no longer the case.

I recall the stories of the friendship between President Reagan and House Speaker Tip O’Neill, complete with strong disagreements by day and beers or cocktails over dinner. Those days have long ago faded into the history books.

In the ugly days of Watergate, the stories revealed about Nixon shocked the country. My Gawd!! He used the F word in to Oval Office? Fast forward to the Clinton years and his behavior in the Oval Office, Democrats shrugged their shoulders at oral sex being received from a 23-year-old intern as being nothing to get upset about. Things change over time and they have only gotten worse.

It is unfortunate in many ways that politics has descended to the level it has. What the nation needs is for the voters who call themselves Democrats to wake up and realize that enough is enough. How long can one remain loyal to a party that is no longer loyal to the country it professes to serve? How can one be loyal to a party that elects or appoints people like this, or this, or this, or this?

Democrats don’t even know there are two sexes.

What’s more blatant than a high-ranking member of Congress with an ETF symbol of “NANC” named after her that copies her stock trades? Where’s the SEC?

The day Pubbies hand over Congressional and Executive power to...(whom?)...could be like the brief moment of relative calm after the clack-clackety-clack of going up the roller coaster hill, and the whoooooooosh! of the subsequent (irreversible) descent into...

...couldn’t finish the analogy, sorry. Insufficient predictive creativity.

The left has grabbed control of the education system and most of the media, resulting in an extremely dumbed down electorate. This is by design. The right is not as active in this subversion, but is complicit by inaction.

Politics has become a team sport, as long as your team is doing it, you really don’t care. If the other team does it, it’s a crisis. This gives the political class the freedom to be corrupt in plain sight, with no consequences.

I’m not sure how long this can last, but it seems as if it’s not sustainable.

As soon as I hear one of them, a democrat, whether acquaintance, friend or relative start their catechism: “Global warming! Orange Man bad! I ❤ Hillary/Obama, Diversity am good ... I turn them off, block, whatever.
They assume you must agree with them. Their arrogance is shocking.

DNC internal corruption parallels that of the very wicked and obvious Islamic plan to dominate the world. Both are driven by an ideological lust to gain total control over people outside the perpetrators’ existing sphere of influence. This mental illness is totalitarianism. Denial and appeasement by free men of this ideology now is taking place by weak spine Republicans who are lukewarm about prosecuting corrupt Democrats and, with respect to Islam, appeasers like Macron, Starmer, and Carney who keep catering to Islamists, which will only embolden totalitarians. Eventually these anti-human demonic ideologues, wherever they exist, must be dealt with.

Are you allowed to publish pictures of college administrators? I thought FR had some minimal standards?

The DNC leadership is aware that they are representing increasingly ill-educated, surly and demanding voters,

They are desperate to get and keep votes! It’s a vicious circle... they need to a cultivate and retainn a stupid, poor, anti-American voter base.

Why buy them when you can just print your own? I was thinking of printing out a Carbon Credit for 100 Trillion Tons. But it would probably put Earth into the next Ice Age.

Nope, not even close.

Just watch... the Democrats will be very competitive in the small number of elections coming up this November. The GOP will be lucky to win the governorship in either NJ or VA.

That the Dems are still a viable political force, after all the crap they've done, is both shocking and disturbing.
