Just checked to see if you updated me , you don ' t muck about do you ! <| sep |> Sure you are , buddy . Sure you are . <| sep |> LOL OH DEAR GOD . So under DONALD TRUMP we are no longer the beacon of the free world . So before now our government told us the truth and never tried or succeeded in taking away our civil rights ? Let ' s just keep this reasonably recent and in no particular order . Inturnment of Japanese Americans The Tuskegee Experiment mk ultraOperation PaperclipThe Gulf of Tonkin The Warren Commission The house committee on assassinations blew the lone gunman theory out of the water yet STILL FAILED to name conspirators WatergateIran Contra scandalPatriot Act IPatriot Act IINO bank CEO ' s jailed after ruining the world economyThis is SUCH a SHORT and INCOMPLETE list . We haven ' t been a true beacon of freedom in our lifetime . While Trump wining the election shows just how far off the rails our country is today , it by NO MEANS shows that we are no longer the beacon of the free world . That ship sailed decades ago , and we have ALL been riding . Perhaps this will make us look at ourselves and instead of BITCHING about TRUMP , we TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK .
