Anyone who has held a cabinet level office, and so egregiously fucked it up, as has Betsy "Amway" DeVos, deserves impeachment, excommunication, drawing and quartering, and getting a D, for effort. Sorry, not link, nothing new, just had to vent, seeing the bitch in the audience where Garth Broken ripped off hits of the Hippies, when Country Music was stupid and brain damaged, as in Dueling Banjos, which was actually between a hillbilly banjo (well played, btw), and a liberal guitar. So now, we need to forgive for-profit universities for fucking over their students, their faculty and the United States and the Funching World???? I think not. Let intellectual vengeance roll down like the might waters of justice, and may the DeVoses, and that Mercenary scumbag brother of hers, Erik Prince, both face justice before the proper tribunal. Oh, shit. Will American ever live up to the principles of justice it stood up for in the aftermath of WWII? Can American ever be the Shining City on the hill, that attracts immigrants with values, with liberty, with freedom and equality? Or will it only be a gig job at a Trump resort from here on out? Rome fell with more dignity, and, to be clear, with more outright honest corruption and imoluments. Tax the rich, they already are agreeing to give money to the poors, which pains them greatly, so you know they are afraid. Tax them till it hurts. Tax their estates, tax their wealth, and tax their intellects! Wait, that last one will not bring in much money, but, oh, the satisfaction!! !
I remember when this happened with the court of Polycrates, he raised taxes, and destroyed his own rule, sent Pythagoras to exile in Italia. Trump is even more stupid than Polycrates, and less charismatic.
