"That was then, this is how it is now."

As for the deported elderly war criminals of past inhumanities, they get a new ID and go enjoy life as a pensioner on our dime, been happening for a long time. (some we actually pay Soc.Sec. $ to live outside the US it appears).

Jimmy Carter was right when he declared that the USA is no longer a functioning democracy. It also seems that very few who are holding elected office are aware of what a functioning democracy is or looks like let alone their specifically defined purpose/role within it.
