America has shown its true colors

I keep thinking back to 2016 and Hilary Clinton now I am sure no matter what happened America was bever going to elect a woman. That should make James Coomey feel better. I just hope in two years we still have a democracy and will be able to fix this, and I hope when this country is burning the democratic party won't be afraid to say well this is what you wanted.

The zig zag bullet theory and the lack of real answers about what had actually happened began the mistrust of the government because people felt they were being lied to. That was then followed up by the anti-democracy Rehnquist 5 stopping the legal Florida vote count in 2000. I think millions of voters were horrified by the anti-democracy Rehnquist 5's behavior and have given up on democracy.. These 2 watershed events will make it really easy for future generations of Americans to understand how American democracy died which was from within.

Let's face it CIA. Bay of Pigs to protect his oil rigs. He was involved with the CIA Cuba and Mafia. Ronald Reagan had alzheimer's so 8 yrs there. He got 1 term 4 yrs. Then then spawn installed 8 yr.
Jeb Bush became gov FL 1999. Katherine Harris (read some where she is related to Bush).
