⬆️ Actually, I have consistently said that most, if not all, of us on here embrace this policy or that, and then put up with the shenanigans of party and politics as usual and partisanship, hoping to see the policies and geopolitical worldview we have gain a foothold in enough folks to win elections.

I firmly believe that Comey has memos of his unusual discussions with President Trump. I do not know where the special counsel investigation will lead. I have my opinions. But, again, I am content to let it all play out. No need to further quibble about it at this time. If the shoe was on the other foot, Democrats would be hunkered down behind their man, with a few exceptions here and there. Politicians, on the whole, are of a certain breed, and years of "in office" amongst the likeminded only further and deepen survivalist instincts and partisanship.

Well, you go on believing that politics amount to little more than being adept at squeegeeing the crap out of one's corner of the septic tank until the election is over. The sentiment just failed Hillary twice, but that is your right and your particular plight. I choose not to accept that ultimate compromise of sanity, and I never will. The Comey memos will point away from Trump and at some of your favorite political heroes if my guess is right. To quote Bernie Mac, I ain't scared.

I do agree however that too many of our politicians are corrupt by nature, as I believe a preponderance of the voting public are now likewise aware. Folks of high moral standard are vulnerable for a time when thrust into a dog-eat-dog environment, be it in the workplace, the US Congress or where ever. The black eyes and bloody noses will heal in relatively short order, and I still believe the voters installed the right kind of people in office. As from the pain of their Congressional confrontations it will be a very short trip to arrive at the reality of their surroundings, and the legislative gloves will come off.
