You are right.
Our “friends” the people we elected are either RINOs or so passive and compromising that they can get along really well at elite cocktail parties and laugh at George Will’s jokes with him, while Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper go into hysterics. Politician swamp elites for in for the long term. Sick.
Libertarian Robert J.Ringer in one of his books said lawyers and prosecutors after you lose your case and thousands of dollars and possibly your freedom, can be seen if you look at the back of the room a few minutes later, with one arm around each other’s shoulders laughing and talking together. Why? This case meant everything to you and your life. To them it is just one case and they will meet again dozens of times, several more before the same judge. No use making the judge mad at them or the opponent mad, either. They’ll battle over another client and may or may not win that time. You re just screwed, but so what?
