There's actually only a Uniparty, who find it expedient to appear to be two different parties. <br /><br />In fact, however, it's all Kabuki theater; the "two" parties have the same goals, and regardless of who gets elected, the people have no say in governance. All the iron rice bowls stay intact, and the gravy train continues to fill the trough from which all the well-connected get their fill. <br /><br />Then when politicians "retire" from government, they become "lobbyists." Once again doing the same job but with a different title. It's all boob-bait for the suckers, and most of us fall for it.<br /><br />President Donald J. Trump is not beholden to the donors, or the political parties, or the media. We the People elected him, and that's who he is beholden to. No wonder there's panic in the newsrooms, in Washington, on Wall Street, and everywhere the Uniparty once ruled! <br /><br />"I'm loving it."Eskymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947922645001422523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-2823977491218303372017-01-25T16:48:55.503-08:002017-01-25T16:48:55.503-08:00Excellent points both!

I've been reading a lot (of what's available) of what's going on from both sides of the aisle and I'm getting the feeling that Trump's 'party' is whomever elected him. What a concept!! <br />PS, I've been to "one world's fair, a picnic, and a rodeo" and I still find myself gobsmackingly amazed at the sights I see.Barneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13137973043952019224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-80760277176355479982017-01-25T15:57:55.206-08:002017-01-25T15:57:55.206-08:00I think that you are witnessing the beginning of t...I think that you are witnessing the beginning of the MERGING of two political parties, that will be further consolidated and the possible emergence of a number of fringe/grievance parties like the Green Party and the vast number of other socialist/communist/progressive parties, none of whom can agree on much except that they like the pink vagina hats.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.com
