But some systems/cultures facilitate such people's grasp on power and other systems inhibit that.


Such as?

Facilitate: Military regimes. Totalitarian regimes. Clan based cultures. Feudal societies. Deeply criminal/corrupt societies. Theocracies. Etc.

Inhibit: Societies which have built up a range of institutions such as democratic government with free elections, with courts, with fair and reasonable laws that are policed, etc

Although members of both parties will favor party loyalty over morality and principle, the Republicans are quicker than the Democrats to turn on one of their own who is a cad.
Sorry but I don't think either claim is true.

A computer server crucial to a lawsuit against Georgia election officials was quietly wiped clean by its custodians just after the suit was filed, The Associated Press has learned.

The server’s data was destroyed July 7 by technicians at the Center for Elections Systems at Kennesaw State University, which runs the state’s election system. The data wipe was revealed in an email — sent last week from an assistant state attorney general to plaintiffs in the case — that was obtained by the AP. More emails obtained in a public records request confirmed the wipe.

@blatham,
Well, that's pretty facile.

Like saying monsters are bad people.

Seems pretty clear that you were trying to suggest that there are some modern models of the facilitating group. If so, which ones?

Hillary Clinton has a stalker. Their relationship is over, yet he keeps hounding her, pursuing her, and obsessing over her, dreaming of all the time they're going to spend together, their lives entwined forever, or at least for another few years. Why can't he accept reality? Because she gives his life meaning. Without her, he's nothing.

The "he" I'm referring to here is the Republican Party, of course...

When power is craved to the point where any and all deceits are just jimdandy...

The Glorious Republican Civil War of 2017 isn’t really a battle over policy or ideology. It isn’t even quite the clash of grand agendas we constantly read about — the supposed showdown between populist economic nationalism on one side, and limited government conservatism, free trade and internationalism on the other.

Instead, the GOP civil war is really a battle over whether Republican lawmakers should — or should not — genuflect before President Trump. The battle is over whether they should — or should not — applaud his racism, his authoritarianism and his obvious pleasure in dispensing abuse and sowing racial division. It’s also over whether Republicans should submit to Trump’s ongoing insistence that his lack of major accomplishments is fully the fault of Republicans who failed his greatness.

The Post reports that allies of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) have hit on a new strategy for countering Stephen K. Bannon’s insurgency. Bannon’s challengers are running on the idea that they constitute the true bearers of the Trumpist banner against a GOP establishment that has allegedly betrayed Trumpism. The strategy is to walk a careful line, avoiding attacking Trump while linking Bannon’s version of Trumpism “to white nationalism to discredit him and the candidates he will support.”

@Finn dAbuzz,
Yes, they were told at what time the President would be calling? Your kidding, right?

It has been pointed out again and again that the Congresswoman is a long-time friend of the family.

That doesn't exempt the widow from being a trashy scumbag for using the phone call to make political attacks against the President.

Who cares? First it was funded by opposition on the republicans side then the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign took it over. It is called campaigning.

If it is called campaigning, how come the left calls it "treasonous collusion" when they accuse Trump of doing the very same thing?

Those active on twitter likely know Amy Siskind. After the catastrophe of last November fell upon us, Amy picked a task for herself - she would keep a running record on twitter of all the things that this crowd might get into. Something very similar occurred to me and that is what this thread is about. If you're on twitter, it's @Amy_Siskind

Today she captured a couple of tweets that had been sent her way.

@Real Music,

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House is welcoming a congressional measure killing the ability of millions of Americans to band together to sue bank or credit card companies to resolve financial disputes in a major win for Wall Street.

That's a shame. It's too bad Americans have to choose between freedom and justice.

Imagine how great things would be if we could vote for a party that would let us keep our guns and sue people who harm us.

No, they were. Do you really think any president just picks up the phone and calls anyone hoping they are home?

@blatham,
What do you mean "us" paleface?

Aren't you a Canadian?

Or are you? You seem to know and care a hell of a lot more about what is going on here than in Canada. What's the problem? No sufficiently noble leftwing crusades to lead up there?
