Republicans are aiding and abetting the largest scale of corruption in our nation's history. Donald Trump has profited more from his corruption than all the other presidents combined. The entire goal of his presidency is to enrich himself as much as possible, using the office as the means to do so.
There is no precedent for the scale of corruption we are now witnessing.
Republicans just smile and turn the other way or just change the subject. All the people that were put in positions of oversight or to investigate have been fired and replaced by sycophants of Donald Trump. The corruption is unbridled. It is nothing our Founders could have envisioned when they wrote our Constitution.
What can be done? Wait until the next election? But if they can corrupt everything else, why can they not also corrupt the next election?

(70,097 posts)I am not sure we know how bad the situation is.
How widespread and ingrained is the immortality?
People who have lived in Russia or worked with Russians describe the Russia people
as exhibiting a great deal of sociopathy. Cheating, lying, manipulating the system and each
other is standard behavior.
Is this where the US is headed?
Our current leadership is firmly entrenched in psychopath behavior.
And it is shifting down to the American people.
People who cheer and enjoy cruelty and brutality.
Who have helped Trump gain and maintain power.
I think moral leadership is one answer.
Perhaps the Dems should make this an issue.
What is morality, what is decent responsible behavior, etc.
