Is this a bipartisan and/or impartial book? With the election coming up and a prominent focus on Democratic candidates, does the Republican President also under scrutiny?

They, by definition, cannot be the same thing. The cover is another clue. Only one actual progressive is on the cover. The rest are what could be considered elites and they are not progressive whatsoever. Lumping progressives and elites together, lumping any groups together, is a tactic for political rhetoric.

Also, a journalist truly interested in corruption wouldn't limit their scope to only one party. To suggest that only one party has corruption is ridiculous. Choosing that constraint of the Democratic party reveals the partisan nature of the book and its author's intent.

The author is Peter Schweizer who has made a career out of investigating only Democrats. He has been forced to admit errors and many of his sources or facts were revealed to be false. I think it is safe to categorize him as a conservative shill.

But hey if that's your thing you're going to loooooove this.(less)

Not just referring to this book but many books in the list "141458.Writing_Published_in_Decade_2020s". Doesn't the list, and many of the books on the list seem strangely political in nature? I believe it's fair to assess the overtly hawkish political ones as alt-right and essentially total bullshit propaganda. But why are so many of those in this list? That's the question burning on readers' minds.

The democrat party was Started by Andrew Jackson in the 1820’s.
Democrats Fought FOR SLAVERY in the South.
Democrats Started the KU KLUX CLAN, after losing the Civil War, as a
paramilitary arm of the democrat party, ( JUST like ANTIFA and BLM
today !! ) to lynch blacks and many republicans who attempted to help
blacks.
Democrats Brought Organized Crime into leadership of workers’ unions in
the 1920-1940 decades
Democrats Voted 100% AGAINST THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT of 1960’s and
ML King
Democrats have caved in to Socialist-Communist ideology the seeks to
undermine and OVERTHROW the United States of Anerica.
Democrats hveturned our National Motto
" E Pluribus Unum " ( Out of Many, ONE.- meaning Unified as
Americans. )
INTO

“ E Unum Pluribus “ ( Out of One MANY !! meaning that while dems
CLAIM to want to UNIFY Americans, their r e a l GOAL IS to DIVIDE
US all into Smaller groups which fight EACH OTHER and which are
much EASIER TO CONTROL !!

Wake up man, you are being USED !!! Do YOU WANT TO BE TOLD HOW TO THINK, HOW TO LIVE, WHAT JOB YOU MUST DO, WHEN YOU CAN TRAVEL AND WHERE ?? ( Look at California, New York, Michigan !

Try looking at a few conservative news sources, Fox News, Breitbart, Daily Caller, the Epoch Times for what the democrats are up to in their quest for political power.

Or maybe you simply prefer being told what to do...your choice.
Best wishes :)
