blazera, 
All of them are selling policy making for money. Dems have mostly moved over to banks and investment firms.
BigMacHole, Whitehouse and Raskin are the DEEP STATE! That’s the ONLY reason why they would Investigate Donald Trump’s attempts to allow Big Oil and other Corporations to BUY US Policy!
Nurse_Robot, /s? Or troll?
shyguyblue, I thought trump got rid of the “deep state”… Yay another campaign promise he had no ability or desire to achieve…
Got_Bent, Like laws and corruption matter if he gets in. It’ll be nothing more than a country for sale

Got_Bent, At least they lasted more than 250 years
ininewcrow, They would have burned out faster if they had the internet and social media 1750 years ago
BakerBagel, They went through nearly constant civil wars and government changes
finley, I AM SPARTACUS!
ininewcrow, At one point even putting the government up for sale
Ashyr, Well yeah, but we explicitly modeled much of our government after Rome, so it shouldn’t be shocking that we share their problems.
SoupBrick, End goal of Capitalism, tbh.
ramble81, I mean, with lobbying, it’s already a country for sale. In this case it’ll just be more blatant and easily accessible to foreign interests
