United States of Scandal with Jake Tapper

This is a retrospective of a few salacious, recent-enough scandals rocking US politics. Sadly, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Personally, I care less about sex scandals and much more about stealing, lying, and cheating, which are symptoms of a much worse character.

If you lived as long as I have, it comes to no surprise how corrupt and hypocritical people everywhere - not just in the US- are, in particular politicians.

And that's because politicians need a particular set of skills to rise in their career: they must be outstanding liars, and most of the time they are morally bankrupt; they have no qualms of being hypocritical, greedy, narcissists.

These powerful, yet despicable people think they are above the law; most of the time doing their bad deeds in plain sight.

They also think they are more clever than anyone else by tweaking the truth. These people never get punished, or only get a slap on the wrsit not because they outsmart anyone around them, but because they bribe their way out of jail.

One cannot fail to notice that all the politicians featured in this documentary have no real remorse, perhaps because their punishment is almost inexistent.

Worth watching, but there are no surprises there.
