It gets scarier every day. [View all]

I really do not believe there is a Republican in Congress who will look beyond their own self interest and do what is best for the country. Secret health care deals, blatant lying, collusion with enemies -- nothing matters other than undoing what that black guy did. And giving themselves tax cuts. Soul-less, amoral cons, every one of them.

I really don't expect impeachment, or even a censure or hand-slap. Trumpsky is good for their agenda. And I've seen it/experienced first hand, when far less money was at stake; these type of con men will always line their own pockets before they give a rat's ass about anyone else. It's just business.
