I would venture to say citizens are blessed if they live in a country that enjoys the rule of law. In the United States at this moment there seems to be little rule of law for those who would lead us.
For example, our president. He has used his organizations over the years to consistently defraud American citizens. To wit, Trump University, the Trump Foundation, and even a recent eat-lunch-with-the-president contest in which winners donated but never got to eat lunch with the president. Defrauding and deceiving others is second nature to this president.
When recently it became known that he used his charity, the Trump Foundation, not as a charity for others, but as his own personal pot of gold, nothing about this latest scam called forth from the mainstream media a front page, large bold font, above-the-fold headline asking the president to resign.
Why not? Isn't this behavior egregious enough to merit that he step down? Apparently not. In fact, the Trump Foundation's exposure as a fraud is just another article among many that fill the newspapers and cable news. Yes, he did this scam, this con, and next. When the president does big dark things, many dark things, and none of them are called out as being enough for him to resign, then the society we live in has no light.
With the help of a mainstream media that is never hair-on-fire appalled, millions of us who have no voice walk around in the dark, feeling for the walls, for the door, anything that might lead to light.
