Any politician in Washington is a target from outside sources willing to pay good money and do nefarious things to gain influence over those politicians. Getting audited every year should be a requirement for them imo. Public service means serve the public, not serve your own interests at the expense of the public.

Bingo. And if you are found accepting money from any lobbyist/external source/etc you’re immediately out

Nikki Haley will never be his VP choice. I'm sure the establishment wants it and corporate media will oblige in pushing that narrative.
So who do you think will be his running mate?
Idk, but I am definitely crossing her off the list of potential VPs.
Probably satan

Yeah, I think the love of the confederate flag for heritage and tradition is completely misplaced. No one should care about that flag. It is a symbol of division and slavery that's damaging to everyone that wants to create unity. Down with the Confederate flag. They lost 150 years ago. Let it go. It's never going to paint those that have it in a good light and only the opposite.

This is why I hate politics…Haley probably doesn’t even like the flag, but she’s not electable to her constituents if she speaks out against it…politicians are all fake and just say and do what will get them voted in and paid. It’s pretty gross.

I have never understood that relation. The flag was a symbol of the Confederacy. They fought against the North, Lincoln and the Republicans. Now those who fly the flag are exclusively Republicans.

If they really want to respect the heritage of that flag, they should vote Democrat, just like the Confederates did all those years ago.

Liz is saying it's like that now? Lol, it's been that way forever, and the Reps aren't the only ones. Are we not learning anything from the Epstein files, Wikileaks, CITL files and the Twitter files? Or, are we just holding onto a sliver of hope that "our party" is still the good ones or lesser of 2 evils?

The Democratic party is much less evil than the current Republican party.

You may be right, but it's not nearly as wide as you may think. At the same time, it's the guys you like in the Reps that are the evil ones.

Does policy matter at all, or are we just score keeping on how many politicians we can catch?

You really thought McCain was evil? Very interesting.

Dems aren’t trying to end Democracy in America. Republicans are and they want Trump to be the first dictator. They don’t care how many lies they have to make up as long as their flock goes along with them.
