And so there you have it. Everything Donald J. Trump did was alright by the Southern District of New York. No harm. No foul.

Tax fraud is now legal in the Great State of New York.
And why wouldn’t it be? You heard him on the campaign trail… ‘They do it all the time’… ‘That’s just how it works in the World of Real Estate’… and in New York City, Real Estate RULES THE WORLD.

If they held Trump accountable, who would be NEXT… what other shady deals have gone down in Gotham?
…
…
How much property value do these two gentlemen alone hold in NYC? How many more individuals would potential prosecutions rattle if they were to be pursued? Well… now we’re talking some serious CASH.
Tighter rules. Enforcement of current laws… that might piss-off some very wealthy people. Some of whom might decide to take their POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS somewhere else. They might have to find another PARTY. One that more closely aligns with their BOTTOM LINE.
That sounds pretty catastrophic for the incumbent party… definitely something they should keep in mind.
…
In this light, it’s not about the VOTERS. Hell… it’s not even about the LAW. It’s about MONEY and the pursuit thereof. For the Real Estate developers, for the Political Campaigns, and for the Political Party Machines.
Trickledown Economics… all boats are LIFTED with the rising tide.
Wait a second… you wouldn’t wanna go and rock the boat now, would ya’? It certainly would be a SHAME if they had to take their MONEY somewhere else.
…
…
Because they are BEHOLDEN.
Not to disparage or attack their character, it’s just a STONE COLD FACT. Laid bare when it’s boiled down to its essence. They can’t WIN if the donors don’t DONATE… and they won’t DONATE if they’re not happy with the ROI.

It pains me to say it… but Donald Trump was right. The system is rigged.
In favor of people like him… and against everyone else.
The influence of money in our election system, turns our legislative processes into an unnecessary balancing act… balancing between doing what’s right and doing what’s necessary to get re-elected.
Making microscopic legislative gains for The People… session after session, decade after decade. All while those who FUND their election campaigns increase their market share… session after session, decade after decade.

Who do our elected officials work FOR… who SHOULD they be working for?
…
It underlies every decision they make. It colors their perception of what’s RIGHT and what’s WRONG. It limits the number of TOOLS in their legislative toolbox… preemptively. BEFORE they’ve even considered a single piece of legislation.
Legislators legislate based on MONEY and the pursuit thereof. Therefore, legislation favors those with money over those without.

And I can hear it now. Yes, this is a ‘free-market economy’, but I question the validity of the assumption that someone who has accumulated vast amounts of WEALTH, would naturally act in the best interest of everyone ELSE.
There’s simply no financial benefit for them to do so.

It clears the mind when we view our government in this light. Why do they NOT act when it’s CLEAR that they should… even when that action is supported by a bipartisan MAJORITY of this Nation?
The answer to the problem would cost their donors MORE MONEY, risking their own political future.
Again, this is not a character assassination… it’s just simply the WAY IT IS.
… and I believe it must change.
…
Because it’s at the HEART of the problem… which problem? ALL OF THEM. Immigration reform. Voting Rights. The Right to CHOOSE. The education of our children. Our National Debt. Our National Security…
It’s at the heart of the problems that we can SEE… and the problems we cannot.

Rot. Greed. Corruption. Self-interest.
Would the MAJORITY of this nation have supported such a plan? Would this plan embody our opinions on the subject of PEACEFUL nuclear proliferation? Would this endeavor help to secure our Nation’s Strategic Nuclear Defense posture?
What about the nuclear waste these facilities would create? What about the long-term maintenance and inspection of those facilities? What about geopolitical instability… civil unrest… and what about regime change?

We set BILLIONS of dollars on fire studying the potential cost vs. benefit of nuclear energy at HOME and ABROAD. If the United States Government hasn’t already done an in-depth study on the potential long-term consequences of widespread adoption of Nuclear Energy in the Middle East… then they’d better set another BILLION on fire and hop to it.
Because apparently, that idea has been pursued in the recent PAST, and I have no doubt… someone will attempt to pursue it again in the FUTURE. Who do we allow to write our policies on Nuclear Energy… who shouldn’t be allowed to do so.

Fire is a TOOL. Gunpowder is a TOOL. Nuclear weapons are a TOOL…
So too, is KNOWLEDGE.
When we seek knowledge, we reach for the LIGHT.
When our fear consumes us, we seek out the DARK.
…
We will not find the answers we seek cowering alone with our FEARS.
We must face them. We must shine a LIGHT on them and work to fully understand them.
No one should fear a Nuclear War… but everyone should fear the ROT and CORRUPTION that would inevitably lead us to one.
