All these policies have one thing in common, of course: bully those who can't fight back. Like the majority of federal tax audits directed at the poor people instead of the rich, where most fraud occurs. I wonder if that trend will continue in the new administration? (Yes, that's a rhetorical question.)

THIS is why 74 million people wanted four more years of the most grotesque, disgusting, dishonest & corrupt villain in the history of US politics: because at least he acknowledged the fact that people were getting screwed. He would piss on you and tell you he was pissing on you instead of telling you it's rain. That's why so many people were running around saying, "He tells it like it is!" And that's why so many of us still haven't figured out what's wrong with those 74 million. They're not racists, idiots, or "deplorables," they're just everyday Americans tired of getting screwed by these sneaky little bastards at all levels of government.

All it would take is ONE Democrat to stand up and say something - and follow through with solutions - to win the hearts & minds of those 74 million and then some. Instead we keep reading & hearing about the ancient socialist/centrist dichotomy. You want M4A, GND, trust in government? Then show some leadership in getting rid of these "clever" clowns running around bending poor people over barrels like this. Even the poorest among us know when they're getting screwed - which is every time they turn around.

Turns out a lot of these poor people retain the right to vote.

I never thought it was this bad, but they finally “came for me”.

I was pulled over on a Monday afternoon going for a hike and 2 cops claimed I “looked” intoxicated while driving— despite no moving violations. First, they said my registration was expired (it doesn’t expire until June ‘21) , then they said I was going too slow in a 45 (speed limit is 35), and then finally they said I was blinking too much while driving. They arrested me on spot and held me at the station for 3-4 hours. Fortunately, my tests and breathalyzer came back with nothing and I even went to an ER upon release for immediate tests of my own. All negative.

This will be dismissed and my lawyer (which will put me out $3500 for retainer) is going to go after the cops for a wrongful stop, but I will still have court fees though it will not go to trial.

If I could not afford the lawyer it would’ve been a DUI on my record, license suspended, and thousands in fines. All for driving on a Monday afternoon.
