Maybe I'm wrong

But my suspicion on why Trump's minions and legion won't accept anything about Russia and the last election...is they are afraid to admit they were duped.
Their egos can't handle it.

They can't handle the idea that they couldn't win without foreign help.

I live just to see if they have a breaking point. This healthcare debacle might be a start.

They care about power. They are willing to screw America over hand in glove with the Russians, in order to grasp for more power. This is going to work out badly, as always. The Republicans have Learned nothing from the follies of human history.

In some cases they may have been duped. In other instances, they're probably greedy and wanton for fame.

Our Constitution, to me, is dynamic. With that in mind, it has evolved to capitalism (corporations are people, too) and has diminished the importance of you and me.

Now, we need another evolution to lookout for those of us outside the corporate sphere. Healthcare, and a universal minimum wage or an income supplement.

The evolution I'm talking about is the evolution from predominantly agrarian, to the industrial revolution (capitalism), and finally, corporate domination of us, the citizens.

The Constitution, as written, looked out for us. It has become evident that corporations do not lookout for the citizen, just their profits.
We're in conflict with capitalism philosophy as opposed to most governmental regulations for impact on the citizens. Corporations like to pollute without regard to citizen health. The EPA regulates to minimize pollution of our drinking water. Just one for instance.

I am opposed to pRezident dRumpf and his business model that has included the paruskies. His spelling of capitalizm is the paruskie version. Everything he has done is in deference to the paruskies, therefore TREASON.

There is a lot more, just watch MSNBC. They're much more articulate than me.
