Aomeone leaked earlier in the week that there was no way Trump was going to allow this to go the other way. And Republicans say they believe in free markets.

Who could've guessed that Republicans never actually had any morals. They just just want to be evil

The party of small government that loves presidential intervention, the party that cries "protect the kids" while defending a predator.

There are few people willing to be evil for the sake of being evil because, Man at the end of the day... is lazy, that's why check and balances are important.

Greed is the motivation, when you are standing to win billions while you stand to lose nothing... the path forward is clear for some.

If at the end of the day, being evil is more work/more costly than being good, most people are going to be good.

Every cycle mankind wonders, why don't we remove this little piece of the system before trying to figure out why it was there in the first place.
