How on earth did he swing it to become the President?

These photos are great. It looks like something really big is going on. The people deserve a decent President, they have paid for that right with their blood, with their tears, and suffering all these long decades.

Outstanding article. People in the U.S. need to know ALL about this. It has been hidden from them all these years. They have absolutely no idea what it would be to live in a country with death squads. I think they aren't even curious, since it doesn't affect them, personally.

Time to wake up.
