    How about some comments on the very loud brash Matt Gaetz Republican congressman now revealed to be under a child sex trafficking investigation that got under way during the Trump administration which Attorney General Bill Barr was aware of and was getting regular updates on in order to make damn sure that none of it would stick back on him or his department.

    The hypocrisy in the republican party makes me sick, this guy Gaetz is a major promoter of the notion that nothing really happened on the 6th of January another example of let's rewrite history as if we won, let's airbrush it away as if it never happened and people are believing this crap, if they talk about it long enough they will convince people that stuff didn't happen in spite of the visual evidence.

    We are in the fall of Empire right now, political systems across the entire world are dysfunctional, reason and rationality under attack in every area of life, you are watching the end of the western way of life, it will only take one bad election to end the USA as we know it.

    Probably right Mike, some of it for reasons of security, the job elevates you to a position of vulnerability to some extent.

    But Trump would would not have sullied his life with the presence of the ordinary person before taking office the rest of them for the last 50 years probably were fairly ok about meeting with and talking to ordinary people.

    Here is some history,

    So in the last 50 years the Republicans have for the most part been in charge so whose fault is it that ordinary white working class non college educated American citizens are vastly less well off than they were in the 1950s which is the almost mythical era they hark back to, indeed they are right to hark back to that because they were much better off when tax on the rich was pretty high, note that the rich were still rich when they were highly taxed back then.

    (the two end columns are accumulating years for each party)
