All you need to know is his wife Katie didn't vote, because she was afraid if she registered her address would be made public and... As it is, she and Stephen are already living on a military base, to ensure their safety. And if that doesn't tell you all you need to know... Isn't this how it always plays out? The rich/elite separate themselves from the hoi polloi to ensure their theoretical invulnerability. From Versailles to Beverly Park... They fly private, they vacation at resorts you've never heard of and... They're doing it all on your money. It's the everyday consumer who keeps the wheels of commerce humming. So how much power does the public have? Right now people are fired up. I've been living a long time and I've never seen anything like this. And all those ancient debates about the red and blue not being able to have a conversation, sit at the same table...those days are through. Of course there are dyed-in-the-wool bonkers believers on the fringes of both parties. But what we learned on Tuesday is we're more alike than different. It's finally safe to invite everybody for Thanksgiving. Because one thing we can all agree on is... We're PISSED! You're supposed to keep the public quiet, their attention diverted, the last thing you want is focus. But Trump demanded it with his antics. Whether it be shooting people in the street or building his ballroom and even more just getting rich. 90% of voters listed corruption as one of their main complaints, why they voted blue. We haven't all been on the same page since... I don't know when. And now Trump is sticking it in our eye, by appointing the architect of the policies hated by the public. An outsider from his days in high school. We don't need the class president, or the captain of the football team, but we do need someone who knows how to get along. As for Trump himself... He seems to be taking a page from Putin's playbook. Act like dissent doesn't matter, and go behind the scenes to enforce your vision. Now historically in America, at least in modern times, you could get away with your bad behavior, by saying everybody else was doing it. Even worse is drinking from the trough because the rich/elite give you access. What America did on Tuesday, and needs to do more, is say NO! That's the essence of morality, the essence of character. And that's the only thing that will save us. Netanyahu would not be saying the election was stolen if Trump didn't lay the groundwork in 2020. Ditto Bolsonaro. I'm not saying I'm approving of a mob mentality, but this is something different, the people are mad as hell and they're not going to take it anymore. Funny how they made that movie back in the seventies and now it's the public on the bleeding edge as opposed to the film business, which notoriously plays it safe. But people are hungry for edgy. This is how music lost its power. It became about the brand, grosses and... The most revered acts of all time were not necessarily the ones who hoovered up the most money. So you've got to say no to those checks being offered. For your own benefit. You can't be above the public, but right down in the pit with people. This is what the Millers are trying to escape. But that ship sailed over a decade ago. In today's world everybody has a voice and everybody is equal. You're grist for the mill. If you're too big for your britches, if you're a lyin', stinkin', scumbag, the minions are going to go wild on you online. Everything we were told was true has been flipped. That the oligarchs dictated and... Funny how all those companies left California for Texas, what now? Did you see the mayor of Houston just decoupled from ICE? If the police stop undocumented people, they're not going to alert ICE. Give the guy credit for adjusting. Unlike Agent Orange. This is why you play the game, because you never know how it will turn out. No one expected a victory this big, no one expected the country to be this pissed. So now... We all want to return to business as usual, stop focusing on Washington, D.C., but before that happens... We've got work to do.
