    Why do Republican administrations turn to crime so frequently?

    Because they know their base is dumb enough to let them keep getting away with it?

    Violated international law by invading a country that didn't attack us, or have any intention of attacking us.

    There is more than enough data to indicate this isn't a fluke. Crime follows Republican administrations the same way flies swarm pig shit.

    Liberal political philosophy in theory is about using public service and the tools of government to enhance people's lives.

    Conservatives hate government and public employees. I don't understand why they are so keen about serving in government, an institution they hate and despise.

    Since they don't have any elevated view of public service, maybe the temptation is just there to use and abuse government power for strictly self serving interests.

    It's what they're expected to do. Parties mean something and exist for a purpose.
    The Republican leadership exists to support criminal oligarchs.
    The Republican rank and file exists to be exploited for their stupidity.

    There's nothing new to see here.

    Religion....is the opiate of the people. Karl Marx, 1848

    Doesn't matter if Trump pardoned him he was still convicted of a crime.

    Plenty of democrats have been convicted as well as republicans.
