Monday

Every political system is managed with money and its accompanying power in mind.
Clearly, trump is a tool.
The political leaders who stood on an altruistic pedestal rarely attained political power for any length of time.
Power is built by corruption taking advantage of the uncorrupt.
Jesus would not stand a chance today. How he got to be so important is a frank display of how corruption works.
In spite of the warming stories of humanitarian efforts, tough guy movies capture the box office revenues.
Trump is playing the big dog role and loving it. He is feeling his oats. He is merely another tool.
