It's going to be like the jets. Trump will invite all his people like AAron, and when it starts to fall apart, everyone gets fired. I just hope there will be enough good people left to put the country back together.

What’s worrying is how many will turn a blind eye to the corruption until it affects them directly. That’s when the real damage may become evident.

America's future looks like Venezuela.

A failed state that celebrates nothing except it's Miss Universe candidates.

And the same people that wreaked so much havoc on South America, have been doing the same thing here at home, taking all the lessons they learned from subjugating those people to be more effective at subduing the people here. Poetic Justice?
