I have a lot to say but I am too tired at the moment.. suffice it to say that the media and others are kissing the ring of the fascist and as distressing as it is for those of us who understand what is happening it is to be expected when fascism takes over. The media, for the most part, is largely responsible for him ever getting power in the first place.
