be run by some Treasonous CEO and call the company the USA

And then have a sitting person in the Security Council that has this same mind set, that this country is a business and that if and when she votes on issues of national security she thinks that the sexual predator can just fire and hire and case is closed and solved, she has no allegiance to the Constitution none what so ever , zilch, nada, didn't even utter the words of defending the Constitution in the 43 second tract, not one word, not one one word on the rule of law.

No wonder this country is in a shit hole............................. people like her, no concept, she just babbles

She is f***ing idiot, and dangerous one at that, and she sit on a Security Council at the United nations, is that some business name also to make money off of it)?

She said that she would work for a sexual predator--------------------she has No Principles, none, zilch, nada

To people like her that WORSHIP money and power above all else - the highest form of existence is to be a giant cash extraction machine like a corporation. Everything else follows from that principal of that being the "perfect system"

but we keep getting told that "America should be run like a business" and some people keep electing Congressmen and Senators (and local officials) based on this stupid idea. Not sure where this idea originated but for as long as I can remember, this ideology has pretty much only resulted in private businesses assuming control over more and more previously government-run services that cost more (both to the government and citizens) and are far less transparent and accountable. What we are seeing in front of our very eyes with Trump and his flouting of laws and political norms is IMHO the end result of this ideology- this idea that we need- or should have- a "CEO President" (mis-)managing the Country. Actually, though, I believe that Bush 2.0 was the first "test case" for this mentality and we see how horribly bad THAT turned out by the end- but that, of course, didn't stop some people for voting for Venture Capitalist Mitt Romney in 2012 (though he lost) and then voting for the ultimate big business guy on steroids Donald Trump last October (who nevertheless managed to swindle a few people into voting for him claiming to be "for the little guy&quot .
