Comment: Herman, your argument is clear and well-put. Unfortunately, these parasites who have grown fat sucking on the teets of the public purse, who (unlike yourself) have never proved themselves outside of the sheltered employment nursery of cadre-deployment, are spawn of the Post-Truth Era. They do not care about whether they speak truth; nor even care about whether they lie. All they care about is using words that serve their ends. They lie to your face and, when exposed, simply follow quite shamelessly with another lie. Their souls are so corrupt; they have never actually worked for their living. They spend their energies seeking self-serving opportunity. They thrive on public attention, and invest a fortune in creating make-believe about who they are in truth, and hide behind those lies. Their "anti-corruption" march was just one more self-serving opportunity to get their snouts into the trough.
