Let’s face it: running the state is simply the vehicle for the criminal class to enrich themselves and their insider friends. Trump is a morn; he cannot out negotiate anyone who has the upper-hand; so he resorts to what he learned to do in NY property development – lawfare and mafioso intimidation.

We need to stop pretending these people in western political officers are serious folks concerned at all about the welfare of the citizenry. Talks that give them legitimacy are counter-productive to the mass awakening needed to change things once and for all.
