The plutocracy invested heavily early on in the Jeb-Hillary presidential race, so that they’d maximize profits regardless of the winner. As a result, they are pulling out all the stops to stem the heavy losses they’ll see when both of their bets go under.

Elect Hillary, for the plutocracy
Or, in her case, perhaps it’s *kleptocracy
One thing is for sure
If the liberals endure
It’s the end of our once-great democracy

*a government or state in which those in power exploit national resources and steal; rule by a thief or thieves.

The Euro ruling elite socialists - and our own university-bred liberals ! - are jealous of ANYTHING potentially “American” in origin or discovery, so the plutocrazy in these classes erased the ninth planet to spite its discovery by an American astronomer.

But it has claimed its own moons, and Mercury and Venus have none.
Its rounded by its own gravity, not irregular like Ceres or other moons.
Even Jupiter has not “swept its own orbit” of all other solid bodies.

In order to promote Hillary’s plutocracy
The media’s fakery is open for mockery
She may wind up in a Hoveround
That is if she can stay above ground

All government is plutocratic. If one is not wealthy when entering government wealth is its singular perk.

If it takes millions to even run for office, a Plutocracy is the usual result.

Thank you so much for the welcome. I love words. My preferred choice of weapon when fighting a battle is a pen or nowadays a keyboard. Ok, here goes.................

You can tell Trump is not owned because the politicians on both sides that are owned by their respective plutocracy, want to destroy him.

Let’s let George Carlin school us on a plutocracy.

Democrats have failed at every
Plutocracy they tried to create
Those cities are out of control
And run on corruption and hate

Mayors and other politicians
Grab insane amounts of cash-
They don’t help others with it
They just add it to their stash

And when the s*** hits the fan
And the cops try do their job
The politicians call them racist
Just to cater to the Roman mob...

I want to see every “community organizer” who is responsible for those rent-a-mobs put under a jail-although I don’t have a problem with them being treated to what we call “frontier justice” here, either, since now their inciting of riots has cost a person their life...

All true. A++++

Looks like Charlotte’s dead thug has a history of shooting at cops in Texas....guy had a long history of violence. Sounds like suicide by cop to me.

Thank you!

I saw that, too-looks like it could be another hands-up-don’t-shoot narrative proven false-and what is the deal with the wife’s video of the shooting? Instead of going hysterical when her husband is shot, she is yelling he better not be f***ing dead at the cops like a pissed off neighbor instead of a loving spouse-and she’s demanding that someone else call an ambulance instead of doing it herself-it is just bizarre...
