It may be toxic co-dependency, but one side only wants to debase and debauch the country willy nilly for as long as he lives. The other has a master plan to keep it debased and debauched forever.

The Republican elite are scared of Donald Trump's base.  Mitch and the gang id, however, get Trump to implement their agenda.

Trump cares nothing about policy - he just wants money and adoring "fans".

Disagree on #1, and agree on #2 and #3.

Lauren "Bobo the Sad Clown" Boebert Tweeted recently, "I have two words: let's go Brandon."

The GOP really is going for stupid these days.

In fairness, that's a pretty easy slip-up. She's said much dumber things than that.

Assuming that the argument is true, so what? Most groundbreaking research has come out of the University system, with some exceptions from industry and government agencies, but most discoveries in basic science have been made by university researchers.

Most of the university discoveries are government based too, because it is the government stumping up the funds.

We just look to the DoD for funding, instead of NSF or NIH.
