Okay, my patience is wearing thin, here. . .

82. All true and more!

The question which must be asked here is "Cui bono" - literally "for whose benefit?" It's is a Latin phrase, commonly used to suggest that the person or people guilty of committing a crime may be found among those who have something to gain, chiefly with an eye toward financial gain. The party that benefits may not always be obvious or may have successfully diverted attention to a scapegoat, for example.

Trump is a buffoon who has clearly gained in wealth and power from all this, but the real winners are those who have affiliated with the Republican side in their on-going crusade to destroy our democracy and to make our government ineffectual. Do Rex Tillotson or the Koch brothers or any other billionaire CEO's who make up the Traitor's inner circle shed any tears over the very true things in your rant? Not hardly. They're all out celebrating the re-birth of coal, the death of even the most toothless of government regulations when it comes to the financial industry and industries depending on the extraction of C-based fuels, etc.

My major hope lies in the backlash against the Traitor and his absurd policies. Nothing makes me happier than seeing/hearing one of those Republican Town Halls turned into a near riot. Keep up the good work, everyone!
