Is American democracy going to die? Watch Ruth deep-dive into America’s biggest question: https://youtu.be/XVEMBw2jT9o
Was it ever real?
@mikeallen6110 not an excuse
Where on the most corrupt list would USA be if lobbying was considered as bribery?
may it die!
Ok, so this is very obviously one-sided, makes you question the objectivity. Reeks propaganda.
The picture of Ferdinand Marcos Sr. dead center on the table is sending me. 😂
It’s especially ironic considering the country continues to elect his children and other family members into office. Then there’s the alliance with another of the country’s most controversial political families, the Dutertes. They even called themselves UniTeam, only to end up turning on each other and publicly accusing one another of corruption.
The irony is that many Filipinos believe both political dynasties have long been associated with corruption. Yet their most loyal supporters continue defending them as if politics were a sports rivalry instead of public service. Personally, I think the country would be better off moving beyond both families and the political networks that surround them.
Trump and his family has to be in the #1 spot for corruption of a country by shear dollar amount in the shortest amount of time.
With trump in full on power USA is both first and second most corrput cou try by far
I am actually shocked to see that so many countries are corrupt.
