DO SOMETHING!
SOMETHING MUST BE DONE SOON
Cheating, lying, colluding, hiding, is by no means unique to the young administration of President Donald Trump. If anything , Trump's lies are less suave, less sophisticated, than those of the really smooth scofflaws who have held elective office in the history of United States of America. Of course, only recently has cable, cellphones, or internet, empowered citizens with alternative means of information gathering, collection, comparisons.
Furthermore, hackers have also been of some help, as have leaks, and Wikileaks's, Eric Snowden, and many more. Information is power, hence power restricts information.
Even with the flood of information, it is having little noticeable affect, presently, with respect to solving the problems. This may be due to the layers upon layers of encrusted interlocking-institutional rewards, incentives, penalties, privileges, promotions, of systemic untruths, that have sucked taxpayers' dollars into private pockets for corporate plunder to support the legal system that is unjust, even though it may seem to have morphed, grudgingly, into leniency under prevailing conditions, its historical modus.
Having necessary ingredients are insufficient alone to make a cake . Some bakers with accessories are needed, as well, and hot ovens.
This is the hardest part; the part involving remediation for Donald Trump and others who traverse the public's trust, under cover of law.
It is "hard" since having the will and necessary means of putting it all together with "bakers" in charge of making the "cake," contemplates an institutional aptitude, some mode of organization, plans, allies, finances, personnel, luck, all of which preparations are well above sole conceptional competence, or knowledge. A new political party or its government equivalent may do.
Something must be done soon!
