And until there is a handle on that, things will keep rolling right along. I have been saying and I will continue saying, all this up in arms about politicians is an exercise in futility. The REAL problem is the citizenry. a HUGE chunk of the population are moronic nut bags. THAT is where the problem lies. Until that corrects. Nothing will change. Trump didn't take the White House at gun point and none of the insane congress members did either. Yeah yeah yeah they cheat, that's well known, but, they were still elected. The focus is in the wrong place. Getting all up in arms about elected officials, elected being the key word there, is useless for the most part. The bigger problem is WHO put them there.
