@AverageJoe1 said@AverageJoe1, you are always lost. 😆
YOu bein' silly now.
Let us, and 330M other people ,stipulate to everything you write in the first six lines of your post. It is a given, is it not. (?)
Your following paragraph, a bit curious and perplexing, that you would feel a need to write that. Of course, you could have omitted the word 'free', as the govt does indeed protect stuff, free or not.
In ot ...[text shortened]... n this topic? I'm lost. (Please dont do a Sue and say yeah, Joe you are always lost, such as that.
Couldn't resist. 😆

@Earl-of-Trumps saidI hear this sentiment often from a good friend of mine that "Everything is corrupt. Politicians are only in it for themselves." 😆
"Who Watches the Watchers?"
Because politicians are rarely held accountable for anything they do, they most often turn to corruption.
We need more secure "check and balance". For example, How can we expect the president's pick
for Attorney General to investigate the President and anybody in the president's aegis?
The Old Guard and the big generals are all filthy rich and nobody cares
I'm not sure if people actually believe it or they just like saying it. There are a large numbers of politicians - probably most - who have been absolutely incorruptible and towers of integrity. Dick Lugar was like that. Gov. Mitch Daniels. Angus King of Maine. Both Bernie Sanders and Mitt Romney - I don't always agree with either of them, but they have integrity for sure.
I want to particularly call out NC Attorney General Jeff Jackson who is a shining example of integrity (and somehow got into office!)
BUT - and this is to me what has changed quite recently. The public doesn't care enough to vote good people with integrity into office!!! WTF is up with that?!?!?
Why? What on earth has possessed the democratic electorate to suddenly not do their job?! So now we've got ACTUAL corrupt actors ACTUALLY (trying) to run the country?!?
Da fuuk, people. 😆
