Putin and his Buddies are waiting for Sanctions to be lifted in order to recapture a Trillion Dollar's trapped in London and New York. Putin's estimated worth north of 200 billion.

This is the real Story,the largest Raid of a National Treasury in History.

and Trump is drummed out of office. Unfortunately, I don't have any faith in the Republican party to impeach him, unless their asses are on the line too.

If this Tax Deal blows up,all bets are off. Even if it does pass,the Holiday Break is going to be simply brutal for every Republican every where and any where. The Populace is primed like a over wound spring.

We live in a very conservative(Tea Bagger) area and these folks have figured out they got screwed big time,especially with the Threats to their Social Security and Medicare cuts hanging out there.

As kleptocracies often embezzle money from their citizens by misusing funds derived from tax payments, or engage heavily in money laundering schemes, they tend to heavily degrade quality of life for citizens.

The money that kleptocrats steal is diverted from funds earmarked for public amenities such as the building of hospitals, schools, roads, parks – having further adverse effects on the quality of life of citizens.

sez Wiki

However, this also seems to fit:
A kakistocracy is a system of government which is run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. The word was coined as early as the 17th century. It was also used by English author Thomas Love Peacock in 1829, but gained significant usage in the 21st century.

sez Google

My preferred term is "greedy, thieving, immoral SOBs."

Everyone, Donald? You think you speak for everyone?


You speak for around 30% of the American people, at best! What a presumptuous turd he is.
