    What is more upsetting is that even if he “changed his mind” his current ideals is not what the voters thought they were voting for. It is still unethical for him to completely change his stance after getting the job.

        It’s not unheard of. Barely even a rarity; it’s just that the terrible ones never quit and seem to have a natural lifespan about 30% longer.

        Not a conspiracy theory either, it’s just that stress-free lifestyle of not giving a shit about anyone.

          Strom Thurmond is a great example. That raisin ball of shit was a US senator for 47 years. He lived to be nearly 101. Pissing on his grave is on my bucket list.
