So much for "Leading by example"?

No big surprise,

Wonder how much this one has self-indulged herself with illegal kickbacks &/or insider trades?

Just looking at these wrinkled old geezers with lifetime (installations) appointments now multimillionaires, just infuriates me too no end.

Yet the American sheep continue to tolerate it.

Not even a showing of mass civil disobedience because the designer left/right division paradigm has worked to perfection.

If this country cannot awaken from its stupified coma, the end is not far away.
