A quick executive order making it illegal for a foreign agent to serve would cut out those on list and some of the rats. Even things out.

With an honorable people guidelines and restrictions like that wouldn't be required.
Sad to say that is not America today.

The problem is that most federal politicians are either corrupt from the get-go or are soon corrupted after taking office.
Those that won't play the dirty game are isolated and attacked by the political mafia (aka Deep State)

What president Trump has had to endure the last four years is an example of what happens to the rare honorable office holder
who can't be bought, blackmailed or corrupted in other ways.

Absolutely agree, Vlad. The corruption is quite incredible. And to think most of us were not aware how deep that corruption was until Trump started explaining it all to us during his campaigns in 2015 and 2016.

A couple weeks ago, I tried to sum up the moral stakes of this election fight in an updated version of the Gettysburg address:

 

Gettysburg Address 2020

Twelve score and four years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a cold civil war, testing whether that Nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.  We are engaged on many battle-fields of that war — in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada.

Will these fields of battle become the graveyard and final resting place for the free Republic that millions of American men and women risked or gave their lives for?

In the haste of our everyday lives, we Americans tend to forget how sacred and hallowed the very ground we walk on truly is.  The brave men and women, living and dead, who struggled for Freedom, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract from it with mere words.

The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget the birthright of Freedom these Patriots preserved for us through their Courage and Wisdom.

The task before us then, as living Americans, is to remain steadfast to the cause of Freedom for which so many Patriots gave the last full measure of devotion.

We here highly resolve that our Heroes shall not have died in vain — that this Nation, under God, shall have a new birth of Freedom — and that Government of the People, for the People, and lawfully elected by the People shall not perish from this earth.


American landscape painter Edward Moran created the 8-foot tall painting “Commerce of Nations Rendering Homage to Liberty” in 1875, more than a decade before the statue was constructed in New York Harbor.

He created the painting at the request of artist Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi whose statue was to be a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The painting was used to raise funds to complete the statue dedicated in 1886 that became a welcoming sight for millions of immigrants processed at nearby Ellis Island.
