It pays outward fealty to the facade of electoral politics, the Constitution, freedom of the press etc., but it has seized all of the mechanisms of power rendering the citizen impotent.Nebrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05974591864059776528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-70658382195262387242020-11-28T14:32:08.531-05:002020-11-28T14:32:08.531-05:00Trump or bust.
