Trump May Try to Block Release of Mueller Report

https://politicalwire.com/2018/09/03/trump-may-try-to-block-release-of-mueller-report/


Something about believing he has absolute POWER..........(which he has already corrupted........and plans to do more of same.)

Isn't that his M.O>??? Has been all his adult life. This is how he deals with any kind of TREAT to him or his ego ..Particularly if the FACTS are evident for all to see. But then FACTS are "fake news " to this bloke. He makes everything personal and about HIM........whether it is or not.

We’ve seen it time and time again: politicians will promise voters the positive change that they desire, only to conform to the current power structure in the end. Obama promised hope and change; Bernie promised much of the same, and then endorsed Crooked Hillary; and Trump will likely cave to the establishment as well, if he hasn’t already. And let’s not forget that all the people I just mentioned are strongly implicated in one instance of corruption or another. So, why does almost every politician turn out to be unethical?
To answer this question, let’s consider the teachings of one of the most influential thinkers of all time, Machiavelli. Almost 500 years ago, Machiavelli wrote “The Prince”, which is essentially a manual that teaches leaders how to acquire and hold on to power. This book was greatly admired by famous leaders such as John Adams, Napoleon and many other powerful leaders throughout history.

What makes no sense........ is to Promise things like "hope, "change" and other abstract , subjective things like that. If they are going to promise something.......... make it tangible and objectively measurable. Most promises are meaningless anyhow........ and simply meant t seduce folks into voting for them. Tangibles matter more.

The rate at which lottery tickets sell suggests that there is a substantial market for hope out there.

Elizabeth Warren said its time for the 25th.

Recent events especially the NY Times story would indicate she's right.
