Son of Suffolk,
iPhone snapper, leisurely cyclist, watcher of wildlife & drinker of beer.
Still figuring out what I want to be when I grow up.
Occasionally foreswunk.
Not so much mainstream, more ox-bow lake.
Not entirely serious.
Life huh?

If that is real America is finished.
Shut the F up DJT. You are nothing but a pathetic loser, convicted felon, pathological liar, terrible businessman, con man, human trafficker, etc, but you'll never be a King as much as you want to be. We the People will make sure to stay United against you & your corrupt team.

It’s really simple…
- Cap all political donations
- Ban foreign donations
- Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties
- No titles, honours or peerages for donors
- No govt contracts for donors
- Publish every donation/lobby meeting
…that’ll do it.

Now they’ve distracted the infant with a shiny bauble they can get on with drawing the balls out of the black bag.
Should take 10 minutes tops.
