I am gonna quote a bit of this article, but the whole thing is well worth a read.

The zman speaks

 

It really is us vs them.  Just not along the lines we thought it would be.....

What this looks like is theater for the people inside the wire so they can be reminded there is a wire, and it must be maintained. The green zone they have erected for themselves is not simply an overreaction. It is a symbol of the spiritual and cultural divide between the people running this place and the rest of us. The hive minded have now created a physical manifestation of their world view. From now on, people inside will be made to show they are loyal to inside, not outside.

 

And we all should know where not feeling as though we had representation got us.  We all don't, but we all should.

 

The rigged election and the response to it broke this system. Despite the Republicans pulling all the usual tricks in an effort to scare their voters in Georgia during the special election, many of those voters stayed home. The old gags did not work, because the election put the lie to those old gags. Impeachment promises to hammer home this point to tens of millions of white people. One party hates them, and the other party really hates them. They do not have a voice in this system.

 

Yes, they are all taking bribes in one way or another.  The total failure of the tea party and it's candidates told us that, most just were not listening.

Then there are those who are taking bribes. The level of corruption in Washington is such that we have to assume all of them are on the pad.
