Our Constitutional Republic has lasted nearly 250 years which is a pretty good run, Rome lasted for 500 years but broke down into a complete SHIT SHOW by the end. Are we heading down the same path? Have we been relinquished to Bread and Circus? I hate to admit that with fast food franchises on every corner and countless television and internet viewing options many of us have our head buried so far in the ground that we don’t know which end is up.
Our previous holder of the oval office has shown many of us that it is past the time to start paying attention. We should have started in the 1980s when Reagan said that government is the problem not the solution, thus laying the groundwork for big corporations to start controlling everything in the name of profit. 40+ years later we are reaping the rewards of our collective denial that money and profit can fix everything.
The Mango Maniac wants to retake the White House and if he does the last days of Rome will look like a historical picnic. The fact that he has been a lifelong criminal would have been ignored if he hadn’t flexed his ego and ran and, by hook and crook, won the Presidency. Now that his criminality has bubbled to the surface, he is being called to account for his inflation of assets as well as other crimes. (I find it humorous that the only trial he has any interest in is about is ‘money’)
There is an article in Rolling Stone that sets what his intentions are if he were to regain the White House. He feels that he is being persecuted, just like any child that gets caught, and he will if given the chance turn the DOJ on anyone who spoke bad of him. He thinks that being called out on his lifetime of malfeasance is political and he will kangaroo court any one he believes will stand in his way. He honestly thinks that the 2017-2021 term in office doesn’t count because of the ‘Russia, Russia, Russia’ hoax and currently there are to many people in government that want to burn it down that would not stand up and let wannabe King Donald do whatever he wants.
I want to stay a Democratic Republic, I think the experiment should continue. We can look all over the globe and see democracies fall the authoritarians, Hungry and Turkey are prime examples, Hitler rose out of an elected government and anointed himself Fuhrer don’t thin Trump won’t try the same tactic.
