What makes you think they're not already somehow manipulated by foreign interests? How would you know?

Foreign interests? Domestic interests? I struggle to see the difference when it's all said and done. In either case the spirit of the republic is spat on. In either case, We The People get some perverted version of a gov said to be: of the people, by the people, for the people.

Death is still death whether by foreign cancer of domestic cancer.

If you trust (e.g.) Wall Street more than you trust (e.g.) The Russians then I have a bridge you might be interested in. Given their presumed loyalty - but ultimately the lack there of - the former's violations are relatively worse.

Let's not be naive.

I stand corrected. Foreign or domestic, their interests don't align with the US public at large.
