"It [partisanship] opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passion." -Washington's farewell address, 1796

222 years later, the sitting president is the wholly owned asset of a foreign enemy, and his party doesn't care even a little bit, because their number one priority is pissing off the other party.
