    Cop out.

    Whenever your side gets caught in some shit it's always:

    All politicians....

    Utter crap. There are many three working on our behalf but have to deal with the fringe elements.

    Trump is the tip of the swampy spear...

    Nope. Why do you think i want it to burn down.

    I don't like most Republicans. I usually vote for outsiders.

    I don't know why you want to burn it down, but if it is because of corruption, it's really hard to make sense of your affinity for the much-more-corrupt Trump.

    Trump isn't corrupt. The shit they are digging up is nothing. No collusion. What, some old tax charges and shit like that. Big fucking whoop.

    Clinton's side and even Obama did much worse and the deep state is not doing anything about it.

    No. There's an epidemic of false equivalences going on, and this is part of it.

    A Yugo and a Bugatti are not the same, even if they both have vaginas.

    A supermodel and a 400 lb hooker are not the same, even if they both have 4 wheels.

    Politicians aren't all identical, or identically corrupt.

    I loathe public servants. Most of them are a waste of space.

    The problem is that the process is, and has been since his inauguration, working backwards.

    He beat sHillary, that's all I care about. I'm surprised the economy hasn't tanked yet tbh. Not even a Trump thing, but a FED thing, its going to eventually crash hard. I thought they would already hang it on Trump by now.

    You've got to be kidding me. This guy has been corrupt since the beginning. The SOB got out of serving in the Vietnam war by some phony medical crap and then went right out for 18 rounds on a golf course. How many people has he cheated. Hell, Trump University was corrupt. How many small businesses has he cheated out of payments? He tore down a building using Russian immigrants in the dead of night because people were trying to get the building designated a historic building the next day. Then he pays the workers a low wage because they were willing to work for less than the going rate. All those businesses that did work for him on buildings that he simply refused to pay. Great way to build stuff at a low low price.

    This guy is not ethical nor moral. He has no morals and certainly no ethics.

    President Trump's DOJ brought these charges against the Republican NY Rep.

    Draining the swamp as promised.

    The DOJ doesn't belong to the president. It is not ran by him, he only appoints the AG. He has no control over who they indict. It's why his racist Attorney General recused himself from the Russia investigation.

    This is not a nice try.
