Infantino knows the Douchenführer's slimy playbook because corruption and grift stick together. 🤢

It's very good. I haven't read Donne in quite a while.

Transparently transactional. They have torn the blindfold off Lady Justice and poured acid into her eyes.

Hell is too good for them.

The same reason I love the Metaphysicists, John Donne in particular.

He grappled with the science of his time.The Flea (whilst not my fave) is a great example.

But this? This is my fave.

Trump: "I believe that in some point in the not-so-distant future, you won't even have income tax to pay…Whether you get rid of it, or just keep it around for fun, or have it really low…you won't be paying income tax."
