Those are the ones I'm talking about. Those are our policy makers. There's tons of bad actors on both sides, Republican & Democrat, and they're both ignoring their constituents in the name of getting Trump, while we The People suffer because of it..

It's not fair to expect an elected official, a legislator, of either party, to hold anyone accountable for anything.  They aren't judges.  They aren't prosecutors.  We have this distorted view of who they are and what they do based on how they behave on TV but it's not reality.  In the most egregious cases yes they should step in and do something about it.  But for the general "this guy lied on TV" type of stuff it's not their role.

It is fair to expect the pundits to do it though.  A good pundit will tell you something like, "Yes I usually agree with Democrats but I disagree with this one position or this one candidate".  That is their job, to have informed and consistent opinions and uphold them.  There aren't as many good pundits anymore.

I agree that both Democrats and Republicans are all equally garbage.. I will agree to that.

As of right now, Trump will be the last person I vote for as a Republican. Don't know if I'm going Independent or Libertarian.. Not sure yet, still researching.

And thank you for finally showing up.. You play Dolly's part in this new Netflix version of Steel Magnolias..

Show us your bewbs.
