The guiding principle is to keep your job. Stay in office. So people do whatever they have to do to do that. Explains everything doesn't it?

King don has definitely CASTRATED all the males. What is the equivalent  taking away a woman's you-know-whats? They are all wobbly frightened sycophantic toady wimps. That's what we got. Do we really deserve to be "served" by the dregs of humanity? Maybe so. I dunno. Thank you for your reply L! :)

I don't know what the female equivalent would be. :)  I guess none of them wants to make any waves before the midterms and I'm sure none of them want to come under the barrage of invective they'd get for openly going against Trump.  The only ones willing to stand up to him are the ones not looking to be re-elected.  What a shame (or should I say "sham").  Happy Monday. :)

I could not live with myself L. I despise liars. I despise cruelty and mean attacks. I despise everything King don is was will be. With all my heart and soul I detest him. So I would make myself ill by being anywhere near that snake. The only standard of measure I have is myself so I cannot comprehend how anyone can shame him/herself so badly as that. Unless, of course, they are all like him in which case it makes perfect sense. A marriage made in heaven. SIGH. I'd rather die. Thank you for your reply! :)

I completely understand how you feel.  I believe that politics, which may once have been a noble profession, has turned into the complete opposite and most politicians, irrespective of party, are nothing more than snakes in the grass who put party before country.  It's "what can I get for myself?"  I think finding an honest politician whose concern is for their constituents is a rare thing today, but our system encourages that lack of concern for others and the unfortunate part is that the people who can change campaign finance, institute term limits, etc., are the same people who we want to see out of office.

Pretty darn depressing isn't it L? Pretty darn depressing. Thank you for your thoughtful reply! :)

It is depressing because it means that we really have no control at all over our own country.

Remember "government of the people by the people for the people"? A fairy tale then? I'm gonna ask!  :(

Tis a fairy tale now.

C-est vrai. T'is true. What was once is not what's now. And I don't know if it ever will be again. Thank you for your reply L and Happy Tuesday! :)

It would take a Herculean feat to get this country back to the way it used to be when government actually worked and Congress took care of the business of running it.  Happy Tuesday. :)
