#1 Funny how there seems to be a lot of Democrat-controlled institutions on the wrong end of the trust scale.

#2 This bogus Trump-Russian story, Comey, Mueller, Rosentein, Clinton, Benghazi, etc. are surely at the base of the 'loss in confidence.' No one within the beltway breaks wind without 5 other people immediately calculating down-wind drift. There are NO secrets in Washington. Our 'elected officials' have access to mountains of information both classified and unclassified, along with highly skilled analysts, and numerous think tanks.

They (the congress) know exactly what is going on and they appear to be doing very little about it.

#3 They (the congress) for the most part are complicit up to their eyebrows. I think there are very few that are clean and free from the taint of D.C.

#4 General Franco to the courtesy phone.

In the notes of Dr. James McHenry, one of Maryland’s delegates to the Convention, a lady asked Dr. Franklin “Well Doctor what have we got, a republic or a monarchy.” Franklin replied, “A republic . . . if you can keep it.”

#5 "very few" might equal zero in the case of our elected and most definitely our un-elected lords and masters, at least from where I stand.

Is McCain still using up our air?

#6 Some group has been picking controllable senators and congressmen for their uni-party for generations.

Trump put a spanner in that work.

#7 When Comey and Lynch gave Clinton a pass, you had to know the entire apple cart was rotten.

#8 Mr B, that is very astute regarding (#2)--there are no secrets for the insiders. One of the revelations from the Strzok-Page texts is what appears to be a stunning lack of opsec. Apparently opsec isn't required amongst the beltway annointed. They are all in on it and the public isn't.

#9 Skepticism is a good thing - until you are skeptical of leftists. Dissent is the highest form of patriotism - until a Kenyan phony is installed in the White House. And so on...
