Friday

at the beginning of this year when I saw clips of the inauguration of the wannabe king and all of the grossly wealthy fools hanging on for dear life.
And thought if any of those people had any empathy or a heart, they alone could spread some kind of good deeds towards their fellow humankind.
But I was right, they don't.

Now the world sees us, the United States of America, as the laughing stock of the world.

Thank you ultra wealthy tax cheats, you got what you wanted. A dying country.
