37. These guys are old enough not to give a damn about 40-50 years in the future

They're laying it on the line for all to see: they will feed their greed today, then die of bloated and greed filled old age, and younger folks will be trapped in the hollowed-out mess that the greedy bastards left behind.

But here's the thing: they only have power because we gave it to them and they have used it to rig reality -- yes, rig it all to hell and, as Karl Rove, one of the bloated POS from the GW Bush years said long ago "We will create our own reality and leave you to study it." He might have added: "because we'll all be gone to rich people's heaven and leave you in the hell we created for you"."

That's the Republican MAGA Party. I hope there's a hell deep enough, dark enough, and hot enough for them, and for all the "little people" who drank their koolade and voted them into power, over and over again.
