Nobody should be surprised at the indictments and guilty pleas in this Administration.

Donald Trump has only brought the Republican Party out into the open.

Republicans have worked against "government" for as long as we can remember. Government is something for them to use for their own personal benefit. Trump made it OK for them to indulge.

As others have stated, if you want to know where people's priorities are, look at their budgets. Look at how they like to fly around in first class. Look at how they spend the taxpayers money. Contrary to what right-wingers preach, we have never seen this degree of corruption in our lives.

Now, we are seeing the type of corruption, with Manafort and Gates and Flynn and others, that Trump brought with him to the White House. It's part of their character, part of their DNA.

We are watching the Republican Party being exposed in slow motion.

1. Trump, is the sociopathic face of the GOP, the party of death. Anyone surprised by this has

not been paying attention. It's been going on for decades. Eisenhower was probably one of the last republicans that had an ounce of decency. The GOP of today is the party of sociopaths, sycophants, the me me me's, wackos and racists. It's a disgusting lot of humanity.

2. They got too comfortable

3. Even before the inauguration

Walter Shaub, the former head of Ethics, was looking into all the conflicts of interest and the Emoluments Clause. The GOP never, ever did anything about it from the start. This IS the most corrupt admin this country has had since before FDR I believe.

5. And that's the truth

Off to the greatest page

6. what has surprised me

is the willingness of the republicans to let the country and possibly even the world crash and burn. everything and anything about trump, only surprised at how many people refuse to see him for what he is, nothing that he's done, doing, or will do in the future.

i always hated republicans, but i guess at one point i thought they believed in democracy. my bad i guess. fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, garble garble can't be fooled again.

7. If your into politics for the corruption, the GOP is the only way to roll.

Skimming and scamming is a time honored tradition with the Republican Party.
