    You posted a journalistic freedom index in reference to race wars (non existent), a raped middle class (whatever that means) and loss of freedoms and liberties (such as?)?

    That's weird.

    Kind of like you trying to talk about Trump, when the AP was talking about Your Special Man.

    So when were you going to try to come up with the excuses for him?

Little things like that.

    It makes more sense to start with 2008's ranking, because that was the last year Bush was President. It still dropped, but not as much as it did from 2009.
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.
