It's not as if he doesn't have a history of awarding contracts on a friendly level.

The game is to empty out the cities (which are full of poor folk needing massive infusions of services, infrastructure and income) so that developers can build Yuppie playlands on the best locations in the state.

Solves two birds with one stone.

Everybody gets rich, and the poor can fuck off and die, preferably in another state, or another county, or back where they came from...

It's evil. It's Republican. It's 1%.

If only it were just one personality disorder....

worse yet, he thinks he's going to walk away free.

My greatest fear is that he's right about that.

While the Democratic Party fumbled around this clown, and Walker and Brown-whatever his name is-took over State Houses all over the US. Of course we couldn't foment a 50 state movement to work against that. Everyone knew that's just the way things were.

Thousands of Flint kids are going to pay for the political elite's negligence.

Not-yet-President Sanders called for his resignation but even that is too late for those kids.

He should be arrested and jailed for gross incompetence. Unfortunately, in a nation where war criminals are given a pass by the PTB, he'll probably get a plaque from the EPA.
