How convenient for Corporate and Banking Lobbyists that donate to all politicians that they can divide people in to parties so they win either way

Which Party does Goldman Sachs Belong to?

Lobbyists are **** Roaches that bribe All politicians to get what they want

And it's a threesome....Valerie lives with them. Somebody needs to install recording devices because they are up to some devious doings.
Lobbyists are the biggest cockroaches in this country

Glad you see it but, I hold not much hope for others dialing-in.
Seems like an interesting post, but I didn't get all the way though it.

Btw, what is a dialing-in? Is that like logging on?

Those voters didn't care who was the person who overturned what we currently have, they just wanted someone to do it...........and Trump just happened to be the guy who came onto the scene at the right time.
I actually agree with these people
If Washington were to crash, there would be a lot of wealthy people that would go bankrupt when their lifeline to politicians come to an end

I think Trump made more enemies in both parties so it will be reported more and he will be held accountable more.

MSM wouldn't cover this much of Hillary's corruption. Nor would they be inventing things as much as they do about Trump.

Politics has always been very corrupt, because of Trump the media will put it in our face 24/7.
^^All of this is spot on.

Another excellent post
There are a lot of politicians on both sides that need to be tarred and feathered

Translation - waking the f*ck up! Saw an Iranian diplomat on Charlie Rose tonight and he offered an interesting proverb. He said, "In Persian, we have a saying, "If someone is asleep, they can be awakened. If someone doesn't know they are asleep, nothing can be done for them."

Funny you say that because, although I've been messing around on City Data for awhile, only recently did I start slopping around in this particular pig-pen. But, I noticed pretty quickly all the bootlickers promoting DNC talking points.

I've made overt comments about it several times and no one has ever disputed my assertion. Once I asked what they pay: $7.50 p/hour and a popsicle?
