Lacessit Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago This is an excerpt from James Lee Burke's latest novel, "Clete". He predicted a leader like Trump way back in 1989. " In my lifetime, I had seen numerous groups come and go. Their names change, but their membership remains the same - people who feel they have been left out. They blame immigrants and women and gay people and Jews and Blacks and anyone else they can pick on. Needless to say, most of them are not bright, and get chewed up and spat out by the rich people who exploit them". Sound like anyone you know? 1 2 1 3 10 1
