So you're saying you don't think my posts are stupid? Have you got any idea how much effort I put into trying to make my posts among the most stupid on this forum? It makes me wonder why I even bother!

democracy is of the people, for the people, by the people. Its never been that. Its a republic representing the people. The only thing it represents though is big money special interests. If it was a democracy every citizen would have rights of survival and opportunity.
It is imperialistic money driven competition of empires of controlled wealth with a high tolerance of people in general. Which is to their credit.

We should send Jeremy over there. Their need is greater than ours.

They have Bernie, but Hilary cheated him out of the contest.

Unfortunately, the most important position in the world has a salary that might be appropriate for a middle manager of a small corporation. The president should receive a larger salary than any CEO in America. In fact, I offer an even better solution. The president should not be offered a salary at all, but 0.5% of every U.S. tax dollar that is not flushed down the toilet, and a bonus for every drop of American blood that is not shed in vain. I guarantee you that the next president would not be a Donald Trump, a Hillary Clinton or anybody else on an ego trip, but somebody who can actually make things happen!

This is not relevant.
