Trump will 'blackmail' Senate R's even more with a primary challenge if they don't cave in to his every whim. If Senate R's are 'smart' they won't agree to further destroy they own chamber. The filibuster protects them as much as the country from "really bad things." #GrandpaGrabMore #SaveDemocracy

In this world, there is enough for everyone’s need, but not for GREED. It is not helpful to want more. Try to share as much as possible. Both the world around us and knowledge about it. Avoid hatred, greed, and ignorance. The more one has, a bigger circle, a greater possibility exists to share.

I feel really sorry for Trump. No matter how much he already has (way more than he needs) he always wants to grab more. Most traditions recognize this as the wrong path. Don’t support that which is unhelpful or those on this wrong path. It is not winning, despite anyone’s delusion to the contrary.
