      Bingo. Each branch is supposed to act as a check on the power of the other two, but the current Congress would rather use its impeachment power to go after Hunter Biden - excuse me, Joe Biden - for being a Democrat.

      By all rights, Thomas should have earned immediate impeachment and removal the moment his frequent acceptance of bribes came to light. But bribery is no scandal for Republicans anymore. For most of their supporters, literally the only crime a Republican can commit is agreeing with a Democrat on anything.

      Not as long as Democrats’ voters stay home because “both parties are the same” and Republicans ’ voters turn out in droves.

      Stop electing Republicans and you’ll see a lot of problems solved.
