are headed by dedicated honest people. Nothing changes. We will not see this until 2021 and only if we are lucky enough to get a Democratic President that is willing to clean house wither it be he or she. We can not allow our Nation to simply walk away like we did with Nixon. We are a nation of laws and we must return to that creed. We allowed three Republican Administrations to create what we have today. Enough!!!

Not only in politics, but in super wealth pumping out propaganda. Their lies fill our radios, TVs, newspapers, and internet.

It will be an incredible uphill battle that I don't expect to see the end of, but we must fight it. Step One is a Truth in Advertising law with teeth. Step One-B is reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine. We must also bring our school system up to a competitive level with the rest of the developed world.

There are a few thousand things after that. But to have a democracy that functions well demands a well educated population that knows shit from Shinola.

We can at least end that part of what's wrong with the U.S. We can work on other things contemporaneously with getting this mountebank out of office.

I'm also unaware of anyone who says that removing Trump will solve all our problems. But it's a nice straw man argument.
