    This was a terrible mistake on Biden’s administration. Poland went to investigate politicians from the previous ruling party, and what would you know? Many were bought by Russians.

    We need to go after corruption, Republicans, Democrats even SCOTUS. Corrupted politicians (no matter on which side he/she is) is a threat to democracy. We can’t have strong institutions if corruption is allowed.

      Don’t worry, the fully weaponized maga DOJ will show the country how it’s done.

        That’s not how this works. When Trumpers take any sort of action, it’s good, when the same action is taken or not taken by anyone on the other side it’s bad. How do Trump voters know which is which? Easy, Fox tells them, no need to think.

      Corruption makes a lot of money for politicians on both sides of the aisle in America.

      Democrats didn’t go after Republican corruption because they too would be caught in the net if it was indeed done via an independent Justice System.

      You see this exact same effect in other countries with voting systems that boost the representation of the two largest parties - neither of them ever goes after Corruption because both of them have been thoroughly captured by corrupt politicians and you even get the effect in Parliamentary systems that some of the few things they both vote together on is weakening existing anti-corruption legislation and defeating new anti-corruption legislation.

      Parties which regularly get real power, such as the two main parties in Power Duopoly “democracies”, always attract the most crooked people around (similarly to power monopolies - I.e autocracies) and are guaranted to turn rotten even when they start from the most honest and fair beginnings.

      See, that’s the worst part about all of this. It isn’t because of the sex, it’s what he did to have it. Had he just gone to Georgia to have sex with a 17 year old girl who was already there, there would be no case.

    Man what a weird coincidence I ran into this right after finding out John Fugelsang was in Coyote Ugly lol. I didn’t even know he was an actor. I do know he is awesome.

    Whoever Trump nominates next, you can be sure he’s got some serious dirt on them too. One of the prostrate 8?
