    If you think this has to do with party you’re delusional.

    They’re all doing it. Yes, even your favorite one. Every time they do this budget shutdown thing, what do you think they’re doing? Trying to get smaller government? Trying to reduce greenhouse gasses? No. They’re holding each other’s money makers over each other’s heads to get more of what they want.

    Every time the president signs a 100k page omnibus bill into law, what do you think all those pages have in them? The omnibus bill is a free for all, where everyone crams some special interest of theirs in, complete with kickbacks, and holds the possibility of a government shutdown over everyone’s heads. Every single congressperson works for at least one special interest group. Some of those special interest groups are foreign nations. All of them, every single one, is selling the US down the river to line their own pockets. They’d sell you into slavery for a buck. They take their peanuts, live a decadent life, make their kids rich and hollow out this country for a living. Every single fucking one of them.

      It doesn’t have anything to do with party. That’s the point I was making.

      Criminals are criminals and will join any political leaning that serves their personal goals best. Usually, the choice is ‘conservative’ simply because authoritarian parties tend to protect their own more readily than liberal leaning parties do.
