And how to stop him
Friends,
People keep asking: How can Trump do this?
It’s not just a legal question about how Congress and the courts can allow his outright corruption, open use of the Justice Department to target perceived enemies, explicit threats to universities and law firms if they don’t cede their independence to the regime, direct attacks on media that criticize him, and defiant trampling on constitutional rights.
It’s also a question about how a president of the United States can be so utterly and uninhibitedly greedy, vindictive, and desirous of monarchic power at the expense of America’s democratic institutions.

Money... money... money...

It is said that wealthy people do enjoy being wealthy, but they spend most of the time, making sure that they don't lose any of what they have collected so far. Not to mention the fact, that most everyone finds out that they are wealthy and harass them to give their money to this cause or to that cause.
Wealthy people have BIG HOMES, multiple homes, Luxury vehicles, many vehicles, and take very expensive, exotic vacation spending lots of money on meals that they simply defecate out in the next day or two.
Wealthy people DO NOT UNDERSTAND or CANNOT UNDERSTAND how poor people live the way they do, nor can they understand why everyone JUST ISN'T LIKE THEM.
Most of the wealthy people are ASSHOLES when it comes to interpersonal relationships, act with arrogance in conversations, and looking down on people who are not like them.
My guess is that regardless of their wealth and all the people who try to kiss their asses, they are basically UNHAPPY because they are never satisfied with what they have - ALWAYS WANTING MORE.
- Once you become a millionaire, you want to become a multimillionaire.
- Once you become a multimillionaire, you want to become a billionaire.
- Once you become a billionaire, you want to become a trillionaire.

Researchers at Bar-Ilan University reveal protein changes linked to longevity throughout mammalian evolution.
Over the past several decades, human lifespan has steadily increased. However, this progress has also led to a growing proportion of the population suffering from age-related diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and diabetes. Extending both lifespan and healthspan, the period of life spent in good health, requires a deeper understanding of the biological mechanisms that promote healthy aging.
