    If you can't beat 'em - set the law on 'em ...

    Even though the charge might be totally made up or at most
    on shaky legal grounds, the dumbass voters will probably go
    along and re-think their vote intention.
    That's what is happening to right winger Marine Le Penn in
    the same way it's happening to Elon Musk.
    It's the democrat way of getting the result they want.

    Can you name a single right wing nationalist who isn't on the take?

    Go ahead. Name one. The country doesn't matter. They're all lining their pockets using your resentment as cover.

    Every. Single. One.

    So what are you complaining about? That they do it or that some might get caught at inconvenient times?

            Yes.


            Added:

            Politicians prospering in office to varying degrees has happened. But millions are one thing, billions are another. (Unless a person is bad at math in which case never mind.)

            But the nationalists stoke resentment as a path to power, then privately enrich themselves. Both right wing (Orban) and left wing (Maduro). The private enrichment isn't a bug of their systems, it is a feature.

            There is such a thing as a country acting in its national interest. But give me the name of any politician making a name as a nationalist and I will point you to their con. That's the thing....the nationalists are all con artists. In the USA, right now, they're all right wing con artists. In other times, they were from the left.

              So you believe anybody that loves his country, stands for the anthem, salutes the flag, eats apple pie, and goes to church occasionally is a con man.

              That pretty much explains you.

                  My wife makes great apple pies. Cortland is a great all around apple for baking and eating. And they don't turn brown.

                  Doing the things you describe above doesn't make someone a con man, but those are heart-on-the-sleeve activities, and you yourself express no love of preachers who are nothing more than con artists in a cleric's collar.

                  And didn't someone say that patriotism is "the last refuge of the scoundrel"?

                  I call Tucker Carlson a traitor, and anyone who thinks like him a fool, at best. Got a problem with that? Too bad.

                    Religious leaders are a con, and so is that canned apple pie filling you're saluting.

                      I call Carlson a traitor because he openly roots for Putin, and Putin has openly dreamed of a world where Russia and China prosper at American expense. I have no interest in navel gazing on questions like "is America too much for the world?"

                      Like it or not the world order that exists, however imperfect, mostly works to American advantage. We are able to import the things we need (and we need a lot) relatively cheaply, and those who call us their enemy seldom get a chance to hold a knife to our throat (beyond the mutual knives of nukes).

                      Withdrawing from our place in the world like good little nationalists, hiding behind our little wall, would make leaving Afghanistan look like a tea party in terms of the economic fallout here. Add to that the withdrawal from NATO and other big ideas on the nationalist mind and you would see disruption on a scale, to quote one guy "that nobody has ever seen before."

                      And the con men say this is the formula for "making America great again". Don't believe them.

                        You are the one that wants to destroy this country and withdraw from the world by letting the millions of foreign people that have let their countries go into the sh!t locker, come here so they can and are turn this country into what they just left.

                        A country without borders is not a country. You and your cronies are utopian wishers and Venezuela, Argentina, Cuba, No. Korea, and yes Russia and China are models for you to copy.

                        You are so out of touch with reality you think global warming is our number one threat. Russia, China, and global war is no threat. I believe if you were in charge right now you order us to transfer all our nukes to Iran, No. Korea, China, and Russia because Americans are too Nationalistic to have them. We should disband and destroy our military. We could use the money saved to entice more so called refugees to come here and get rid of this evil, ugly, democratic and capitalistic wasteland.

                        While you are at it, tell us again about how Putin and Russia colluded with the Republican Nationalistic Party to steal the 2016 election.

                          Well you're posting pure garbage, but you managed to do it without insulting me directly. So that's your big accomplishment for the day. Congratulations!!!

                          But your post is so full of sh*t that I'll no more comb through it than I would what a fox leaves behind on one of the trails around here.
