    You get my point, 99.
    The ”best and brightest“ are all gone. Lackeys are now the order of the day.

    He has the power to rip your home and all you hold dear right out from under you.  If he focused in your direction.  It is easy to blow this blowhard off.  But stupid people are the most dangerous of all.

    That is not something I am concerned will ever happen. I look at the empty threats the fool makes nearly every day, then backs off.  He’s  a joke, and he is approaching completely irrelevant.

    It is not going to happen. Of course. I see and agree, of course, with your point.  My point was that the fight would never ever ever be fair if you were in his crosshairs because he is insane, has no limits and you would not stand a chance.  Not because he is not a liar and a bully, but because he is one.  It is 4 a.m. and I have no idea why I am still awake.  I am babbling and I bid you a good night and thank you for your patience.

    Sounds like Henry Ford in his early years to me.  But all I know about him is what I've seen on documentaries.

    Every DESPOT in history.  

    Every one.  Fear is no mark of any leader.  Fear is the mark of a DEMON.
