    Democrats in power will lie, cheat, steal, and even kill in order to get their way, and Republicans let them.

    While Republicans are very good at getting in front of the cameras to call the Democrats out, they rarely, if ever, do anything about it. Unconstitutional laws or rules enacted by Democrats remain in place, and stolen elections are not overturned.

    When Democrats are called to account for their actions by a Republican Congress and refuse to show up, to answer questions when they do, or outright lie to Congress, some Republican members of Congress are great at berating them in the halls of Congress. I love watching them as they do that, but nothing is ever done about it. When Republicans defy Congressional inquiries, they are brought up on charges, but Democrats are simply berated in front of the cameras and used as fodder for reelection campaigns. The questions are unanswered, the lies stand, and no Democrat is harmed during the production of the Republican reelection ads.

    When it comes to furthering the goals of the people who elected them, Republicans are sadly lacking, as well. In most cases, there are always just enough Republicans willing to move over to the other side of the aisle on a vote to allow the Democrats to carry the day, even when Republicans hold the majority in both Houses and the Presidency. Democrats, on the other hand, would dutifully vote for the Holocaust if directed to do so, with hardly a dissenting vote.

    I've said it before, but, if Democrats are the enemy, Republicans are collaborators.

    Too true. Hence Trump, their natural enemy.

    This is why The Establishment killed the Tea Party.

    America has been a one-party nation since the 60s. Proof is in the pudding.
    We just need to see when the downfall started. Being kind to others doesn't mean to be cruel to ourselves.

    Largely by joining it. A Maine "Tea Party" group endorsed Mitt Romney.

    Lots of them, but then look who elects them, Rubio the clown speaking in foreign lango to Tea Party, Univision a radical supporter of " migrants rights". invited to speak.
    Americans are more concerned with the rights of others and 'offending' someone than their own survival. Americas fall will hurt every one of us, not just the hated white man. Including La Raza aka The Race or the knee benders, BLM or their ignorant ally ,ANTIFA.

    I know I’m often out of step but the people (voters) are ultimately responsible for the mess we are in, Democrats and Republicans alike but mostly the uninvolved, the uninformed, the non-voters.

    We have the best system in the world but it only works with a responsible citizenry. We had that for a long time. We were a moral people and largely responsible but no more.

    People don’t inform themselves, the news upsets them so they avoid it. If they do vote it’s only at the general election for most people. Have they informed themselves on the candidates or do they just vote for the familiar name?

    Do they understand what the structures of our government do? Too many think the president can do anything. They don’t know the difference between an executive order and a law or which branch makes either one. Or that the DOJ is the enforcement arm and they work for the executive branch, not Congress. If the people elect a rogue president (and they did) he will ignore both the laws that Congress makes and Supreme Court rulings such as the one canceling student loans.

    I could go on and on but I won’t.

    By the way, one of the last honorable politicians died yesterday at the age of 82. His name was Joe Lieberman and he was a US senator, retired, a Democrat, known for his honesty, character and his ability to be effective in his role. His funeral was this morning. We are unlikely to ever see another like him. I would bet that the great majority in this country will not recognize his name because those qualities are not valued in America anymore.

    Democrats and Republicans — there's a reason they're called the Uniparty.

    The Democrats in Virginia usually put 3-4 anti-gun bills on the agenda during any given session. This year that submitted over 40, mostly in a political move to paint our (R) governor into a corner. How did these people get into office??? Less than 40% of Republicans turned out to vote.

    We are our own worse enemy. Republican politicians will not fight for anything unless an immediate victory is ensured, and their constituents have more purity tests than Carter has little liver pills.

    Our supreme courts have been packed with many who don't adhere to the laws of the land. Our military top brass has also been replaced by the Clintons, Obama gangsters and other radicals who think men can be women and vice versa.
    We now have special interest groups whose interest is not necessarily American or even legal.
    I like trump and will vote for him but I didn't agree with 2 of his unconstitutional laws he passed which one was already a law in general he just made it for Jews only.
    Then he made it legal for law enforcement to rob us od our resources, Asset Forfeiture.
    I respect LE and Jews, but no group or people are perfect, including the law or organized religions.

    I have voted- this time- for Who? Not a single one of them are worthy of the position. I cringe every time I hear any political person claim how they can or will do something. Celebrities and churches should have no place in politics - I think. So regardless of the party, we are doomed -ya'll know this already and regardless of who wins our next ride is going to be more than bumpy.

    Although I consider myself a believer, I agree, religion has no place in politics, religious values this nation was founded on, yes, but not organized religions.
    There is a reason for the constitutional clause of ' separation of church and state'.
