Sir, I empathize and agree.

I hate admitting this, but I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s, where the very worst thing there could be was a nuclear war, such that DC would be destroyed and the rest of the country left to be invaded by Russians, etc.

Now, I actually believed that if we dropped a nuclear weapon on DC, and preferrably a very large neutron device, something that killed people, but left the buildings standing, then it would be an answer to prayers.

It’s like these guys are stuck in some 1990’s coke-fueled binge. Solyndra - nobody talks about it anymore but it makes the MBS scandal look like small potatoes. A US president handed his political allies a half-billion dollars KNOWING they were going to blow out the business.

It’s one thing to award a contract to an ally with the understanding that the country needed what the ally was selling and that in the end you were helping a friend AND serving a legitimate national interest. Solyndra was just money laundering, and out in the open, and unchecked. Nothing happened.

If Jefferson and Madison were alive today, he’d be looking at us and shouting, “What the f*ck are you waiting for!?! Why aren’t they all dead yet???”

I think this is one reason Democrats put so much work into cheating. To them, politics is a business. It's how they make money for themselves and their allies. It's not about running the country for them, it's about personal financial enrichment.

If Jefferson and Madison were alive today, he’d be looking at us and shouting, “What the f*ck are you waiting for!?! Why aren’t they all dead yet???”

I won't be surprised if it eventually comes to this. Them or us anyway.
