Speech censor

All businesses, Big Tech, Big Retail, Big Pharma, Big Insurance, etc., need to stop all donations to all elected officials, regardless of party. It is the root of most of the problems in our nation. Such acts muddies the purpose of our government. All of us should fight for it!

He looks the evil ruler...Cheers!!!...

Wish they ban politics forever.
