Who woulda thought that the lesson they'd take away from the Holocaust would be to Pay It Forward?

And before that, they were the Nazis. The point is, every era, going back to the beginnings of civilization, has this same demographic segment of Sociopathic lunatics who want to take over the world, and force everyone else to do their bidding.

A healthy society recognizes the serious dangers that those people pose, and never allow those people to gain too much power. But now and then, a society let's down their guard, and those people rise up and take power. They've had different names over the years - Confederates, Nazis, MAGA, etc., but they're all the same people. We just made the mistake of letting them off the leash.

We've seen what these people have done in the past, how much blood they're willing to shed to keep power, so we can predict what they'll do in the future. The worst of MAGA is still ahead of us, and it is going to get much uglier before it gets better. For one thing, he has no intention of leaving after 2028.

He's got his eye on the Gaza Riviera that he and Kushner want to build. It would be much easier if he were the Big Boss. He's got to get rid of Netanyahu first, he can't count on outliving him.

Well, yeah, he's MAGA. They're ALL pedophiles, and traitors, and corrupt, and racist...

If he can just invent a new law that says he has total immunity, then the next president can just invent a new law that takes it away.

They still do that all around me.

Yeah, but Hunter Biden asked for a job, and told them his name. That's REAL corruption.

Why allow any money at all? Campaign Finance Reform is the issue from which ALL other issues flow.

Presidential campaigns should be 90 days long, fully funded by the government, with strong regulations as to speech and promises. Violate those laws, and your campaign is disqualified, even if it allows the other side to run unopposed.

No outside money should be allowed, not one penny. Any violations should receive long prison sentences.

By removing money, it makes the only item of value to a candidate is the single vote of each citizen, so that's whose ass they'll have to kiss. A CEO is just another vote.

And every citizen born in America should be automatically registered to vote at birth, with it automatically validating on their 18th birthday, and that right to vote can't be removed for ANY reason. Even incarcerated prisoners can vote, they need representation as much or more than anyone.

The real treasure in the settlement is that it gives forever immunity to Trump and his family from all tax issues, and probably everything else. You know that if they try to charge him for anything, he's going to claim this agreement covers it, even if it has nothing to do with taxes.

There are Democratic districts in those Red states, too, and a whole lot of flips that they aren't expecting. I want those Blue seats in Red , too.

He has no intention of leaving after 2028. That's going to take violence, and we better start preparing for it now.
