  1. J.R. is one more super MORON — brain dead ignorant about the TOTAL EVIL in the rotted to the core *system* —
    UNEQUAL ballot access laws.
    MINORITY RULE gerrymanders
    tyrant Prezs with their robot HACKS in SCOTUS

    Same rot in ALL 50 States.

    Too many media MORONS to count.

    P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.

  2. I just heard him speak on the subject on the PBS News Hour and think it should be requireted reading/listening. His assessment of the current state of things is self-evident, and I hope people will listen to his ‘so therefores’ about how we arrived here.
