Citizens United, it is certain the US we once knew will be a thing of the past. How SCOTUS allowed Citizen United is nothing short of criminal. It is stupid and corrupt, and does nothing to promote the betterment of the US, than to create a dystopia for millions of Americans.

The best years of the US are definitely gone. Any not seeing that really really have blinders on.

This confirms that the Koch Brothers run WI and they and their ilk will run the NEW USA, Inc. What a sad day for millions of Americans.
