The farce of 'public service'...

[rightwinger]

Not one honest man has run for reelection...

I don't agree with that. I think are some who actually do believe in the idea of personal freedom and liberty, but they are only a handful and there aren't enough of them to have much of an affect. Of course, at the end of the day, the American people are to blame because we elect them and reelect them despite knowing what they do. People care more about partisanship than results and ethics.

Politicians must work within the political structure

Has been that way for centuries

When every career politician is a multi millionaire you know there’s a problem.

Now the free press is a corrupt and treasonous organization that should be put down.

Spoken like a true dictator

The press is your enemy....trust only in me

once again for the learning impaired: the mainstream press has never been more limited in the scope of its reporting...if you propose to dispute this fact there is plenty of documentation available...nothing reported through the mainstream press is credible!

Ridiculous

America no longer is limited to mainstream press to get its news. With the internet, you have access to almost every newspaper in the world, you can read opinions from all over the political spectrum....you can even get your own opinions published at the click of a mouse

We have never had a freer press

And yes...the mainstream press is credible and conforms to strict journalistic standards

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! you just soundly contradicted yourself winger!! You stated that we 'have a free press' you said nothing about alternative media...to opine that mainstream press observes 'strict journalistic standard' begs for proof which you do not furnish...hence you spout clueless opinion rather than fact...

It is all part of a free press

Alternative media is still a free press

Yes, our major networks conform to strict standards of journalism and correct themselves when they are in error

How many bloggers in the White House Press Corp in the past decade?

 

[Unkotare]

How many Congressmen and women who never had a real job amass net worths of many millions? No one ever seems to question it. The 'public servant' gig pays incredibly well if you play the game and become a career politician.

Ironically most of them have law degree as well...speaks volumes for law school doesn't it?

College Education Is a Fraud and Should Not Be Rewarded

Americans will never admit that the university graduates greedy or power-hungry zombies because all college means is work without pay. Because of that unnatural lifestyle for seven years, lawyers spend the rest of their lives making up for lost time.

So, is this the one and only thing you’re ever going to say?

...and you can prove this how????? Alternative media is NOT the free press of which you spoke...there is a wealth of documentation attesting to the limited range of the news we receive...


The Real 'Fake News' Is The Mainstream Media

Nearly two-thirds of Americans say the mainstream press is full of fake news, a sentiment that is held by a majority of voters across the ideological spectrum.

According to data from the latest Harvard-Harris poll, which was provided exclusively to The Hill, 65 percent of voters believe there is a lot of fake news in the mainstream media.

That number includes 80 percent of Republicans, 60 percent of independents and 53 percent of Democrats. Eighty-four percent of voters said it is hard to know what news to believe online.

“Much of the media is now just another part of the partisan divide in the country with Republicans not trusting the ‘mainstream’ media and Democrats seeing them as reflecting their beliefs,” said Harvard-Harris co-director Mark Penn. “Every major institution from the presidency to the courts is now seen as operating in a partisan fashion in one direction or the other.”

Point out some and lets talk

Classic liberal motif. Ask for something and if provided deny it or spin and lie like always.

What I can't seem to figure out, is... How these politicians can earn millions, upon millions of dollars while serving as senators; and not get investigated?

They report their taxes....unlike our President

They report their taxes....unlike our President

that's your answer?

• Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) ...
• Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) ...
• Rep. Dave Trott (R-MI) ...
• Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO) ...
• Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) Net Worth: $90.85 million. ...
• Rep. John Delaney (D-MD) Net Worth: $91.68 million. ...
• Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) Net Worth: $107.61 million. ...
• Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) Net Worth: $254.65 million.

We labor under a group of lawmakers whose extreme wealth clearly puts them out of touch with the average American voter...how did career congressmen and women amass wealth like this without betraying their public oath?

Now...look at that list and identify which of those wealthy people want to raise their own taxes and which want to cut benefits for the poor and working poor

Hint: Most made their money outside of government

Bullshit. Career politicians who never worked a day in the real world are all worth more than 99% of the citizens they represent.

 

[rightwinger]

When every career politician is a multi millionaire you know there’s a problem.

Means they are older and have been successful in life

Who wants someone who has been a failure in life to set public policy?

yes I guess Congressional corruption and bribe-taking pays quite well, but for the life of me your comment stands as one of the dumbest things I've read on online or off...

Funny thing about bribe taking is that those Congressmen found taking them end up in jail
If you think their wealth is ill-gotten you are free to investigate their taxes
