Seems like a BAD YEAR to be a totalitarian dick - tator. When I first heard the name Putin, I had no opinion one way or the other, actually. But later he seemed like he wanted the dear old days of the USSR back, & when Trashy Traitor Trump cozied up to him, when he started attacking the Ukraine, I was 100 % certain that he was a totalitarian. As for Trailer Trash Trump, the aspiring Mad King, I never cared much for him anyway. My aunt & late uncle said that they were supporting him, which hit me like a red - hot poker to the intestines. Then I felt vindicated 4 months later when they expressed regret about supporting him. NOW, NOBODY with more than a couple of brain cells or critical thinking likes him, much less wants him stinking up the Oval Office !

It is orgistated disorder, the high un- equality of wealth in the world is a means to an end. In Russia the poverty is to benefit the government and in America it is to benefit the big money backers for Trump. The share market down ( they buy cheap and big) , regulations gone they make more money. Laws gone they get away with murder and rape. So everything from orange Führer ( the people behind him, because Trump is placed there to beter their agenda) is a plan, an agenda to get richer and get more cloud ( power) for the future. Look behind the throne for the truth

Being of a different generation, I am wondering how "Crunchy Roll and One Piece" and the symbol and flag fits into all of this. What is the context? Is it all a myth, metaphor?

"Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

And don't criticize

What you can't understand

Your sons and your daughters

Are beyond your command

Your old road is rapidly agin'

Please get out of the new one

If you can't lend your hand

For the times they are a-changin'"
