We won't run any imagery of his or Tangerine's face -- but we will run a memorable quote, from the founding father/General who (despite all of his faults) did liberate the colonists, from the Brits (by force), and in doing so -- did first create this nation.
"That democracy should not perish from this Earth". . . we will all need to keep a vigilant eye, out:
. . .Besides conspiracy, Barrack was charged with obstruction of justice and making multiple false statements during a June 2019 interview with federal agents. Also charged in a seven-count indictment were Matthew Grimes, 27, of Aspen, Colorado, who is a former executive at Barrack’s company, and Rashid al Malik, 43, a businessman from the United Arab Emirates who prosecutors said acted as a conduit to that nation's rulers.
Prosecutors said the crimes struck at “the very heart of our democracy. . . .”
Let us recognize that vast wealth, alone is not any form of qualification for public office. In fact, it may be largely. . . antithetical to it -- at least in a democracy. [This is not a simple paperwork / lobbyist case -- this is a direct foreign agent case -- truly a more sinister set of felonies-prohibited transactions, as directly against the interests of the United States.]
We will also watch the opening of the Olympics, now -- with a wary eye, as it portends to present the real risk -- of a renewed variant spread, across the globe. Strange times, indeed. . . so, much of the usual joys, of the games are sapped from them, because of this -- at least for me.
