ReplyDeleteAh.....the "principled. and mature leadership", huh?

THEY have started wars, I'm sorry, "conflicts", that have killed and maimed thousands of American men and women, only to watch the things they bled for go right back into enemy hands. That's called "leadership"???
Across the board, whatever they touch, is turned into middle class misery and results in THEIR pockets ballooning with cash. "Principled" huh???,
They have obliterated the Constitution and made careers out of "representing".
They imperially do things that "we, the people" go to PRISON for....
And we now need some MORE "principled and mature" leadership"???
REALLY?????
Can you just tax us some more? Cut our hours some more? Lay off more workers? Put us under more surveillance? Stoke racial unrest a bit more? Enrich you and your friends beyond belief, just a little bit more??? Please?
Principled and mature leadership, my ace.
You're getting brainwashed and played by a media controlled by "principled and mature" leaders. They are AFRAID.
