There's a simple word for it.

Corruption.

From Donald Trump down, thru almost the entire Republican Party. Thru Bill Barr, thru Mitch McConnell, thru Kevin McCarthy, thru Mark Meadows, thru Devin Nunes, thru every elected Republican, with the exception of a very few.

We should not be so naive to think there is no corruption in the Democratic Party. I'm sure there is isolated corruption. But it cannot compare to the corruption of the Republicans. They are rotten to the core.

The evidence we have seen proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt. They will do anything to hold on to power. They are not for the people. They are for a clique of elected Republicans in Washington and anyone that can help them maintain power. That is it.

There can be no justice until they are all in jail or all have been voted out of office.

I cannot believe there has ever been corruption in our country to the degree we see today.

3. I disagree with your last two sentences...

But the corruption is extremely bad within the Republican Party and we are struggling to hold people accountable. It’s actually a trip to times past when the local papers ran the show. They determined if one was held to account or not.

At the same time, we have held some to account and it isn’t minor. Starting with impeaching Donald twice. The list of Donald admin officials and operatives who have gone down is significant. I do agree with you, not enough.

8. It's more of an attempt to hold accountable so far

MF45's two impeachments were a fraction of what he should have been impeached for. And thanks to Moscow Mitch, no consequences.

Many of the criminals who were successfully prosecuted and jailed were pardoned by MF45.

What we need is lasting consequences. That is what we're missing.

11. I don't think the impeachments were no consequence situations.

I believe they played a large role in the election.

They also burned up enormous republican resources, mainly from the previous administration. With limited resources they had to pull from other areas which would have been far more detrimental to society.

There are also current investigations going on. Not done yet.

Has been an integral part of politics since politics was invented, it has just become more blatant lately.

7. It's bad.

It was also pretty bad post-Civil War until Teddy Roosevelt started to clean up. There must be accountability.

9. The corruption is worse because they learn from their acts

Just what I've lived through since Nixon, every subsequent republicon administration has learned from the past, congress changed laws, admins changed rules, and now it is worse than ever.

10. Corruption is spot on but

it needs a bigger word, a dirtier word, a traitorous word.

[DENVERPOPS]

12. agreed

This new Republican party is, by far, the most thoroughly corrupt political party in the history of our nation.

Sadly, there are two piss-ant Dem Senators holding up Biden & Dems attempts to make progress......

I expect that both of them are huge DINO's in reality.

14. The difference between Republican and Democratic corruption

The former is institutional. The latter is anecdotal.

15. Corruption on an organized crime scale.

Under Trump, the entire government was run like an organized crime family, and the republicans had no problem falling right in line and stealing everything in sight, and breaking laws on an industrial scale.
