Lies rot the soul. It is inevitable.

They may think that there are no personal consequences to the massive fuck off lies they tell every single day… BUT they are wrong. They become distorted in their thinking, irrational in their actions because lies beget lies and that infects every part of who you are…



Of course, they think that the lies they tell are just dandy because power and privilege tell them that the con has been ever thus, however…



Their lying rotten ethic and morality free existences permeate every part of society and are a real and present danger to our democracies.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr said: “Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.”

For all intents and purposes, we are watching and experiencing, an ongoing experiment concerning these very topics, orchestrated by the
President and his supporters in his administration and congress and beyond

Every day, since he was sworn in. At first it was treason. It is tyranny at this point,I believe. He's declared war on the rule of law, in our country, because he thinks he's above any law.
