text: Well Gary, you've nailed it perfectly; it's what you and I learned in kindergarten, back when things made some sense. Likely we'll never return to civil sanity. Everybody has their own take on what's moving us closer to stupid, so I'll proffer mine:
  Trump promised everything that populists dreamed of. He was supposed to lose, but didn't. This created a real delimna for the true power brokers, so they had a little chat with the cheeto-in-chief, outlining how things were going to be...showed him a few photos of JFK's soire through Dallas, and an agreement was struck. No surprise, as Obummer made the same hope and change switcharoo once he was educated by the very same powers.
  The results are obvious: MIC runs foreign diplomacy now. You'll still need yer programs, cuzz ya tell yer demorat from yer republicant.
