When Corruption Is Common Place

Everything they accuse President Trump of doing, they’ve first done (or at the very least they’ve wished they could).

They project so much so often in fact—I’m completely convinced—that part of the reason they hate him so viscerally is that they honestly haven’t found something to pin on him yet.

It’s not for lack of trying.

After trying so hard for the last four years their closing argument in their campaign (read that: job application) is that there’s something he didn’t do (for a disease no one had ever dealt with), he’s mean (he doesn’t tweet nice things about them), and he’s bound to be a crooked guy doing it all for selfish gain (even though he hasn’t taken a dime of his $400K salary, has lost $2 billion in personal net worth, sleeps in a smaller bed as president, and flies in a smaller plane).

So lacking any evidence of wrong doing they make the assumption that he just must be crooked because...

They are!

Whether it was their last candidate funding a dossier full of garbage about the pre-president and Russian hookers or Saturday Night Live claiming his children look like drugged-out stoners they completely ignore the fact that their current candidate has lit up the internet for the past 24 hours with a literal video depicting him being serviced sexually with underage hookers while smoking crack.

The president neither drinks nor smokes—even legal substances – and his kids are the picture of poise and dignity.

They accuse the president of being duplicitous and co-mingling his own interests with his job as president, absent any evidence of course. But the person they’d like to replace him with perfected on-the-job grifting. They tried to forcibly overthrow the voters and remove him from office over a completely fake charge of a quid pro quo, when their desired candidate has literally millions of views of factual footage bragging about getting one in exchange for a prosecutor more to his liking (which we learn would benefit the stoner kid who likes crack and foot jobs).

They have congressional members who came to office promising to represent the districts they were elected from. Look at New York's 11th Congressional District and New Jersey's 5th Congressional District, specifically Max Rose and Josh Gottheimer. Both were elected as moderate Democrats replacing conservative Republicans. Both specifically campaigned on the promise to not even consider impeachment. Yet all it took to break that promise was maximum allowable campaign contribution from Adam Schiff’s money operations.

They accuse Trump's nominees for the highest court of having secret and hidden agendas for the desire to be elevated there. They accuse them of clinging to their dogma more preciously than the text of the Constitution. They openly accuse the nominees of not being transparent or straight forward for their unwillingness to self indict. It is foreign to their way of thinking that a nominee would not act as a self interested political tool. They simply assume all justices will act in such a manner and they fear their perverse interpretations of the Constitution will no longer be upheld.

It’s an ugly reality.

They are dishonest, so they assume everyone is.

They are lacking in transparency, so they buy off votes.

They would twist law to manipulate outcomes.

They see their time in “power” as a transactional step to personal enrichment either while in or immediately after they conclude their time in office.

They have kids who they recruit to help sell out the nation, therefore everyone’s kids must be crack-smoking, sex tape-making thrill seekers who bed their brother’s widow, impregnate and deny paternity to an adult dancer’s child, and see their dad's reach and influence as a meal ticket to happy endings.

The only problem with any of it is—it’s not supposed to be this way. Their icons didn’t believe it should.

“I have a dream that... to be judged by the content of character.”

“Ask not what your country can do for you...”

This election pits the ultimate slime powered corrupt force of leftism up against a man who works 24 hours a day keeping the promises he’s made to restore American greatness.

And they are coming for him, because he is fighting for you!

We are living in a sea of corruption. The government and its entire Deep State apparatus is thoroughly corrupt.

The result of this sordid reality is that the government has clearly lost the trust of the average American citizen.

The norm is corruption anything or anyone else not in the club is not welcome. Like the mafia, in order to be a made man you have to go out on a hit so you are in the boat with everyone else and have the same thing to lose

They investigated Trump for Clinton’s crimes, and impeached him for Biden’s crimes.

Mr. McCullough has written an excellent article that really lays out the fundamental differences between R and D.

Old news! I remember and knew of Pols on the take as far back as the Eisenhower administration. Odds on it didn't begin there either. Money and power are always irresistible magnets to the unprincipled.

I blame “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous”.

Before this series, people might drive by a rich person’s house or see a mansion in a make-believe movie.

Now, people see how the rich live, and they covet it.

It used to be that having a three bedroom, one bath house was enough.

Now, everyone wants a mansion.

The purpose of the Democrat Party is to elect liars and thieves to public office so that they have access to the public treasuries in order to loot them.

Corruption, government and otherwise, is a “normal” and accepted fact of life everywhere in the world except for the countries where English and other Germanic languages are spoken. The reason for that anomaly is a good subject to study. But the main point is in multiple ways the American Marxist Socialist Party (still operating under the pseudonym “Democratic”) is pushing America toward the global “normal”. It’s been a steady movement that way and now that they can see the finish line they’re breaking into a sprint.

True but look at the breadth and scale of the corruption. Its now pervasive. DC has always had its corrupt elements but nothing on the order that we are seeing today.

A lot of forces are trying to take down a duly elected president, many of them funded by voting taxpayers! Yes, the taxpayers pay their salaries and support those politically weaponized bureaucracies. It would be funny if it were not so serious.

If you think this is not something entirely new and very ominous you have never worked in DC. Its more toxic than ever. We have entered a whole new realm of corruption and unaccountability. Its so deep that even if Trump is elected he won’t be able to clean it up in his remaining four years in office. The best he can do is contain the fire — for awhile.

Our government is simply too big and powerful. And you know what they say about power.
