2. U.S. elected a discarded traffic pylon - found in a ditch on the road to nowhere - as their leader.

3. Something that I have learned with this nightmare
Sat Dec 22, 2018, 02:09 PM

is that the president has too much power. I don't think the founders ever thought a mad man like the one on the WH would ever come to power. I think they gave too much credit to the voters, and the wide spread treason in the republican party is something else they would have never thought it would happen.

I don't think anyone ever thought that a political party would fall into treason like the republicans have, who would have thought all those "lapel-flagged" people, so called "christians" would succumb to treason the way they have. How can anyone walk around, present themselves in public with a "patriotic" rhetoric knowing they have committed treason? I do understand that the criminal mind works in different ways, but it still hurts my head to think some people can do that, embrace the elderly to later pass laws that will hurt them, talk about the "greatest country in the World" when you know your actions are debilitating it, knowing that you and your president have become the laughing stalk of the World...how can anyone sleep well knowing that? The criminal mind doesn't see any of it, they are just happy to be "ruling", and they want more. The fact that money flows more into their coffers is enough to silence them and give up all that you have said is dear to you.

I hope Muller can get all these traitors, for any of them to get away with their criminal actions will be a tragedy.

8. I'm going to have to think about "dissipated degeneracy" for a bit. Deep with double negatives.

Of course the MBAs and C-suites have their graphs and focus groups to guide them on what's good for their profits. As someone once bullshat, "What's good for GM is good for the country."

13. At the time of the nation's founding, the president was chosen

by the electoral college members who were not necessarily chosen by the voters. Also the VP was the person who came in 2nd place with these votes. Though we did okay with our present method for quite a while.

Especially the part about Mattis.. I hated that I liked us getting out of Syria. I just know if don does it, it's wrong. That it got Mattis to quit, well that's summed up nicely in this article.

10. This would be a great Christmas present...

Hopefully all those wishes come true.

Thanks for posting this give me more ammo to use. Some in my family refuse to believe that Individual #1 won’t make it out of 2019 and believe he will be the nominee in 2020.

I’m thinking he’s toast now and will be burned toast after January when we take the house back.
