The easy availability of information over the internet should make things more interesting than usual when a Democrat is eventually again president. Everyone paying attention should learn a clear lesson on the nature of power, control, and politics. The more I learn, the more I lack trust in and despise our “leaders”, regardless of which club they belong to.
