    No. Not all of it.

    The U.S. Supreme Court is full of mediocrity, and at certain times the Court has done some pretty corrupt things, like Bush v. Gore. The one member of the Court who has served longer than anyone else, Justice William O. Douglas, was a very corrupt, evil man.

    But I'm not going to say everyone in government is, or most of the people in all branches of government are, corrupt.

    Yes, it has its head in a very dark place. Take the establishment response to the STATE OF THE UNION, Nikki's speech went sideways and ended up paddling the GOP in the ***. The Washington elites have a total disconnect with the public.

    Bring on Trump to clean house.

    They have 2(!) political parties and a system of government that is basically a race to see which of the 2(!) political parties gets the most votes. Even in tiny democratic countries with less than 1/10th the population of the US, elections result in winners from half a dozen parties who have to form a government of consensus to work in the best interests of the people who elected them.

    It's a crazy idea called democracy.

    Of course it is. Major corporations bought off almost every politician in the country. There are one or two republican politicians, and maybe a baker's dozen democratic and independent politicians, that aren't bought off. Get money out of politics. Public funding ONLY for political campaigns. WOLFPAC!

    I believe Hillary Clinton is corrupt, and it seems the very liberal YouTube news outlet 'The Young Turks' agrees:
