I didn’t start out looking like this even in my own mirror. Initially, I actually came because I had a vision of making a difference now it’s only to hold on and control.  For, keeping a house in this town and family expenses keep increasing every year especially when you have to keep up with the Bush’s, Clinton’s and Obama’s.  Deals are made to not only keep you in the office but make sure you have extra cushions for your soul as you bang it away. One starts making deals with those you previously thought were the devil until you no longer feel the heat. It all becomes an addiction of not only the lifestyle but the power one can wield and after seeing what we were allowed to do during Covid, I need more of this drug.  I could try to kick the habit but I think I’ll just run another soulless (political) campaign that Blue Mercedes payments continue to roll in.
