Popular Post bendejo Posted June 10 Popular Post Share Posted June 10 So is this an example of the deep state and the swamp that a certain presidential candidate can't bring up often enough? Republicans/conservatives do not have to own up or recuse, with a "and what you gonna do about it, b_tch?" I recall seeing Bush Sr on a talk show while the 2000 election results were in contention, and the host said he understood that GW had to recuse himself. "Oh yeah, recusal" said Bush, in a tone that implied he was laughing up his sleeve. Fortunately at this time there is the Lincoln Project that knows how to confront the arrogant ______s. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobU Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Do the judges in the USA have Thai heritage? I wonder if the corruption in the Thai justice system is merely a copy of the US system. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the corruption in the Thai justice system is merely a copy of the US system. 9 The traffic cop who takes a few bucks for not writing a speeding ticket will be publicly crucified if caught: disgrace to the uniform, betrayal of public trust, etc. Corrupt big-money deals involving public officials etc, even if reported in the media, most likely will evaporate or be overshadowed, such that the rascals can keep running for public office. Paying off gov't officials used to be called graft, and was a crime. A certain Republican saint in the 1980s got rid of graft by legalizing and calling it political action committees (PACs). IMO the shining moment was in the first decade of this century when a career politician turned armaments executive turned back into a politician and became vice president to a not-very-bright president who preferred clearing brush on his Texas ranch to "presidentin'" The best politicians money can buy, long may it wave! And now with a politicized Supreme Court featuring a few hard-core conservative justices collecting millions in gifts in a bold-faced, obvious way, well, . . . 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the information it appears no matter what part of the political spectrum these people are on, they are all as bad as each other. I note that no one attempted to repeal this PAC law.

It's a good way for the wealthy to bribe politicians and high office holders to do their bidding without fear of prosecution for either party. It appears the US political system is totally corrupt and does not represent the people at all. Why would anyone give a high official personal gifts worth millions otherwise?
