What you have said is correct and well phrased.

There have always been corrupt people in America who have thirsted for the enormous power concentrated in the government and fantasized about seizing it for themselves.

Julius Caesar and other Romans had the same desires and fancies. Caesar pulled it off. His opponents assassinated him, but his ambition was fulfilled by Octavius and the rest of the Roman Emperors.

It's worth observing that the second Roman Emperor was the monster Tiberius. The third was Caligula, the fifth Nero.

History has a way of repeating itself.

There are always morons who don't learn from it, and here we go again...

In the past, in America, it was impossible to seize the power concentrated in Washington because of the overwhelming power of the law and the cohesion of American society.

Today, the corrupt see a real opportunity.

Whether or not American law and society are strong enough to resist remains to be seen.

Pray that they will be.

That's what President Trump and the Trump Revolution are all about.

President Trump insists on respect for law.

We live either by the law or the law of the jungle.

Law of the jungle or the law of the judges?

Right on so many points Beast... lucky for us our foundling fathers were aware of the dark side of human nature and worked to safe guard us... but even that is being dismantled by corrupt liberal 'elites'...
