Criminals, and war criminals.

Since we did nothing about 1963 and nothing about Watergate and nothing in 2001-2003, now they penetrate us from top to bottom and utterly control our voting process and every other aspect of our teeny tiny democracy, (small enough to drown in the bathtub!)

What are we going to do about it? Voting for Coke or Pepsi is not going to change anything. Unelected oligarchs have us all invisibly chained.
