Its weird, but I think I’ve lost faith in this entire system. We’d have been better off under a Christian monarch. Sorry, George, you got a bad rap.

There are no checks and balances today. We are living under a homofascist regime.

The problem is that we’ve replaced one set of royalty with another. Today’s “royalty” are the 0vomits, Clintons, Kennedys, Bushes. Their courtiers are lawyers and big business. And Biden is the court jester.

It was Christian monarchs who set the foundations of our legal and justice systems, making modern life possible. For the monarchs, self-interest and statesmanship coincided giving them obvious reasons to think civilizationally.

Nowadays it would be impossible to establish a workable concept of, say, eminent domain, to flesh out its details, and to put it to practice. Thank goodness it's fortuitously there.
