Plus which there is ostensibly billions of dollars on the table vis a vis buying stuff and selling stuff and why would we the great and glorious US of A give that up just because of something so dumb as honor/integrity/morality? Plus which the US guy who calls all the shots has personal monetary interest as does his kids. Bigly interests. The bad butcher guy is very rich and spends bigly amounts of money on the butcher-loving guy who calls all the shots and has lavished billions of bucks on the butcher-loving guy and his family for years. Why upset the applecart in favor of doing what's right? I mean c'mon business is business and money is the main thing, the sacred thing. the only thing.

The deception is not discovered till its way too late. Some people even die having never realised the lie (eg the Red Barn cult.)
The process of recovery from a mind**** may require professional help, and typically involves intense and disturbing emotion, such as shock, confusion, or fear.Researchers now say that any ordinary person can be conned in this way; one does not have to be especially gullible or naive because the perpetrators are highly skilled at what they do. Have you ever had an experience like this? If so, how did you recover? If you have avoided one or more - how did you recognise the signs? Did you tell the person (or group) what you honestly thought? Did you blow the whistle? less

FIFTEEN ASSASSINS flew in from Saudi Arabia to converge on the Saudi Embassy in Turkey and met with one journalist named Khashoggi who fought them and Khashoggi ESCALATED the fight with FIFTEEN ASSASSINS and it got out of hand and ended in Khashoggi's death. That is what they are telling us happened. They are ever so very sorry of course. Ever so very sorry. SIGH. That's it folks! That's all there is.

All his supporters totally agree with him. He has the power to keep the people fleeing from their countries out of HIS COUNTRY. Why are they walking to a certain HE** that awaits them here? Do they not know about the cages and kennels awaiting their kids and parents being permanently separated from their children? How can they not know that? It is beyond sad.

So we need some smart calm stable unemotionally involved monitors to make sure voters aren't turned away or told they are not on the rolls or intimiated or strongarmed or threatened. Otherwise we're doomed.
