Criminal bros stand up for criminal bros.

That's because Republicans are trying to PROTECT you! THAT'S why they Blocked a Bill that would have made it ILLEGAL to accept Bribes by the EXACT Billionaires who have cases in front of you! To Protect YOU!

Yet another "as infuriating as it's predictable" villain move by the fascist GOP 🤬

There needs to be a regulatory body that is voted for that specifically investigates and prosecutes corruption in government. The check on it is the people who can do recalls when they feel they aren’t doing their job.

Unfortunately it would be critically underfunded and expected to make a profit. Also they have to have the entire funds of government pensions available for all workers in advance

But that's the job of law enforcement. A law is created by the legislative branch and then enforced by the FBI or such. If they find evidence of a crime it is then prosecuted by separate people.

The Republican party has been compromised.

I wanna say that both parties are compromised, but the Democrats just are maybe compromised less and also are less blatant about it. Republicans are basically all about skipping the BS now and trying to get to their end goal of modern slavery faster.

What would be an example of Russian interference suspicion on the Democrat side?

I should specify that I didn't specifically mean compromised by Russia. I meant compromised in general most likely by big business then by anything else.
