The United States last year slid down the rankings of a global corruption index as America's system of checks and balances faced growing threats on Donald Trump's watch, Transparency International said Tuesday.

So, it measures "perceptions" of corruption.  Well,  that sounds scientific and objective..

Tim, "perceptions" are hot right now. Hell its all about perceptions and feelings. Don't you remember that committee hearing when our latest lib rock star ask the question......What do you think about the "perception" of our boarder guards being KKK twins?

She is a real piece of work by the way. When young, got tangled in an affair with a married Chicago mob like political 65 year old Willie Brown who got her first 2 appointments. Now suddenly she is this :did it all on my own independent...sure all on her own, just like Hillary

Hi Mojo,

It is more than perceptions. Take Mr Stone for example.

Indicted for lying to Congress, witness tampering and obstruction while his main public message is that he will be loyal to Trump. He is being picked on unfairly and is a victim. Poor Roger. Being a traitor is not supposed to be easy. 

His problem: Apparently he can’t both tell the truth and be loyal to the POTUS at the same time.

Foreign tampering has been proven in our election process past, present and future and Stone was probably instrumental in putting the mechanics of it in place. But here we are hearing it’s better to not disturb their interference if it means uncovering fraud and self dealing from the Trump camp. Thus is the cut throat nature of dog eat dog politics and business. Win by any means. Screw the losers who can’t compete with the big dogs. It is the base problem with the excesses of runaway capitalism in an oligarchy.

We’ve never seen a swamp like the current administration. There is an irony to how it is being drained.

holy crap...no the libs are not the least bit loose with facts. Stone in one post just went from accused of missing  punctuation in testimony he was not allowed to review to Traitor and guilty. What the hell ever happened to the presumption of innocence, jury of your peers, gathering of facts, fair trial. Lar in one has taken us right to pre-WW II Germany....thanks but no thanks on that

Holy crap ? Had no idea that crap could be holy. Oh well, I won't argue with religious beliefs.   

No, mcfarm is not the least bit familiar with facts, and proves it with almost every one of his posts.
