You'd think the attempts to steal from Social Security would get a few more people off the couch and into the streets protesting... But only in a perfect world.

But, Mark... the ultra-wealthy don't need Social Security or free Healthcare and their kids don't need free school lunches or publically funded education (although they do prefer to have an Undocumented Mexican Nanny to raise their babies at least until they are old enough to be shipped off to an English boarding school or a Swiss Finishing School.

The rich don't worry about having a social safety net because those welfare leeches just keep slipping through. Why provide nutricious food, safe drinking water and safe, affordable housing or a dignified life when it might cost the elite class another mansion in the Hamptons or a private jet and chauffeur driven limousine so they can get to and from meetings with their portfolio manager on Wall Street while the trophy wife visits her personal stylist on 5th Avenue.

Trump, with Idiot Elon's help, is delivering exactly what we expected of him. If he can annex a few insignificant countries, rob them of their natural resources and enslave the indigenous population to service American greed, why wouldn't he?

Sorry, l guess l've watched too many American "reality" TV shows and Hollywood block busters - The Wolf of Wall Street and A Few Good Men are classics, and perhaps I've read too many history books, seen too many documentaries, lived and I've witnessed too many US "democratic" elections and far too many US funded that l am no longer capable of entertaining a more optimistic view of America.

In the meantime, tell Trumpty Dumpty to Free Palestine and stay the hell out of Canada. Thanks. Good luck.
