>Agree, but all high-level politicians everywhere are corrupt.
That's a pretty broad statement.
A, NY's prisons have designated areas to house jailed politicians and it's hard to find space there.
One of my occasional lunch companions is an ex-pol who served time in a federal prison. He tells me that he had plenty of companions there with similar stories.
So, there must be someone trying to keep them honest.

B. What do you mean by "high level?"
I know some fairly low level people who would steal me blind if I allowed them to.

C. What high level people - political or not - are not corrupt?
Have you spent any time on Wall Street?

D. Because all the people like that we've seen might be corrupt, it doesn't mean that there will never be an honest one.
People like Ghandi don't come along very often, but they do.








A long time ago politicians stopped giving a damn about their countries and their people and started only caring about their careers and their financial well-being. Anyone still thinking that virtually ANY high-level politician has their or their country's interest at heart hasn’t been paying attention. Look objectively at the clowns that are being put forward; Warren the faux-indian? Harris the pot-smoking jailer? Bernie the multi-millionaire socialist? Scandal and lies and kowtowing to whatever social trope-du-jour bandwagon. Same as in Europe.

>>It was a success on the Russian's part -- sewed discord among the citizens of the USA, and Trump got elected - which is what they wanted.

>LOL - American is in the state it is not because of Russian interference - do you honestly believe they could create discord on the level you suggest across a country of 360m people! Why look to blame outsiders? In my opinion, a primary discord (amongst others) is between those that feel anything goes and those that hold onto conservative views of family, work, society, etc. Furthermore, the "fish rots from the head" and your high-level politicians and those in Europe and our business leaders do whatever they like, however they like, and get away with it, and that tells the minions to do the same. It's becoming a free for all with politicians saying and doing whatever they think will get them another vote. They don't care so why should you becomes the modus operandi.

>>Look at the mess he's created / creating in the whole world lol.

>What mess? You should be happy Trump got elected because I think the war-mongering Hillary would have long ago led the world into war with NK and Iran. More regime change, more countless and pointless deaths would have ensued. What has it all brought us? Millions of people who lost their parents, their children, their spouses, their brothers/sisters and who now hate us all with a fire that will burn for decades. And the countries that were "conquered"? Wastelands of suffering.
