The trouble is, Miranda Devine broke that Hunter laptop story two years ago in a major newspaper - which should have earned her a Pulitzer Prize - yet the rest of the media monopoly was able to just bury it.

I think the truth is just too scary for most people to contemplate - because if it’s true the state can steal a Presidential election and cover it up - that would mean we really haven’t been a self-governing Republic for a long time. That would means the idea that the government is accountable to the people is just an illusion.

And if that’s true - that means it’s way too late to put the federal government in check.

I wonder sometimes if reason politicians always seem to betray us as soon as they get to Washington DC is because they learn the bitter truth upon their arrival there. They discover that We the People already lost that fight long ago.

Maybe they just don’t have the heart to tell us we are no longer in charge.

The corruption of Washington is known by all except the voters. The successful candidate has learned what is expected of him or her and, no matter how “principled” they are, they will understand that to play the game means millions of dollars in their accounts. How else does a congressman serve 24 years, top pay $175,000 and retire worth $80 million?
In short, they are bought and paid for before they get to DC and meet the corrupt swamp creatures.

We would be better off to send the 535 packing and start from nothing.
It is money and power that motivate the corruption.

All lobbyists should be sent home which should eliminate most of the graft floating around the Senate and House offices.

That would be a better build!!
