This list ends at the end of the George W. Bush administration.

Quite frankly I just couldn't take it anymore. There's varying reasons these people left the gov't, but mostly is was corruption for money.

18 years of greed and party before country.

I didn't count the names, didn't want to. The point here is that the repubs have been doing this for DECADES. Most of these people were career repubs, respected until not.

Spread this to your local representative, plaster it on a wall somewhere. RT the SHIT out of it.

There's NO CHOICE but to vote blue anymore, and honestly you should see now that there really hasn't been for twenty years.

@SnarkieCupcake said to me last night the problem is our representatives aren't afraid of us anymore; of being voted out.

She's absolutely correct.

We must show these people THEY WORK FOR US.

Make them fear for their jobs, make them KNOW what inaction will cost them.

Make them know that

WE. ARE. THE. MAJORITY.

WE. ARE. LEGION.

Told a guy a work today about this thread on repub corruption.

He says to me, "That's why you get people like Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi."

AFTER I gave him the numbers he said that.

Just simmer on that for a while.

This is the next thread in the list, from the Clinton administration to the beginning of the Reagan administration.

One thread would have been nice, but there's not enough space in just one.

Which is even more insane when you think about it. https://twitter.com/fenrir_71/status/1023804765237600256?s=19
