Cheapest labor to build the pyramids.<br /><br />Today their images of the good old days are within the pages of the Ayn Rand novels. Brought into the conservative ideological belif system by todays egocentric billionaires. Who believe they are the superior race. Chosen by God.<br />Kochs, Adelson, Mercers to name a few. <br />They buy slaves to do their bidding. From Brooks, Bannon to owning the Freedon caucus of the republicans in the Houe of Reps.. They inserted SCOTUS justice Gorsuch with their wealth making conservatives obey their will by wealth.The want to rewrite the Constitution. The people are so damn pesky for such superior wealthy individuals.<br />Brooks is a low cost resource. Owned and operated to amuse the wealthy by filling in spaces in the media which praises them and always writes word pictures of the feeble and unworthy, (us)..<br /><br />I notice Brooks is never quite uplifting the spirit or providing heart warmth. He always leaves his readers asking, What the Fuck? What an idiot? Who is he talking to? What is he talking about?<br />---This, Brooks is good at. Brooks is your blessed gift in written media from the very wealthy who in their superior jest. Provide the welfare he requires to provide us with this (agh) worsd smithing.<br />Robthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15736678459663803707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-90860874558329530562018-06-19T17:18:19.748-05:002018-06-19T17:18:19.748-05:00Tom Cotton twitted a particularly ugly twit today ...Tom Cotton twitted a particularly ugly twit today referring to asylum seeking parents as child traffickers & kids as MS-13 wannabes.

But, Sadly, this will not end.<br />They will go on, even if we defeat them in the fall...they have the ability to rehabilitate themselves with their lies. My anxiety grows.
