As top Trump aides sent texts on Signal, flight data show a member of the group chat was in Russia

Oh they know. We know.
They know we know.

I'm shocked....but I'm also not shocked. This has gotten to the point that you think they can't one up themselves and then they go and do it.
And they do so on a weekly basis if not daily

They know we know.
They know that we know that they know that we know!

If the GOP had an iota, a molecule, a QUARK of integrity, the cabinet would be impeached en masse. They are a disaster.

Or even during. People think about Louis XVI getting chopped, but never the people who did the chopping getting chopped x4.
The real fruits of the revolution were from seeds it planted blooming generations later in the Victorian era. Living through it just sounds like it sucked; they were basically a generation of martyrs for a future of liberal democracy they barely got to see.
Well said

I assume for that to happen, a significant portion of the American political system would be in trouble. It's not so much that Trump is some unique phenomenon, it's more like he's not subtle about it. We're being screwed every day by the leader class, they're just quiet enough about it that most people go back to their NASCAR and high-fructose corn syrup snacks.

I think Trump's actions are not particularly unique, but he's doing actions that have been previously condemned and in the minority. I'm not so naive as to think that all corruption can be eliminated, but when it's out in the open and the people are getting away with it in the open, that's much worse than what had happened before. Trump is a unique phenomenon in that sense and the sheer number of illegal things he's doing.
We were heading towards something like Trump eventually if you track what monied interests, through the GOP, have been doing since at least when Nixon resigned. I'm sure the GOP were hoping to pick their guy instead of Trump, with Russia's help, taking advantage of what they were setting up.
I get that there have also been corrupt Dems, and there so are, like Nancy Pelosi, but they're not the primary avenue of the oligarchs to enact their agenda. Though they have captured the Dem leadership as well.
But I would welcome a more robust system to root out corruption. And for laws to be applied equally. If that takes out a significant portion of the government, then I think that's fine, as long as it's not some bullshit like what's currently going on.
