That has ever felt hunger is the real tragedy here.
We keep being shocked by the deeds of a man with no conscience. All the while we leave unaddressed, the full embrace that his supporters offer at the expense of their own soul.

This sort of thing happened.

As long as I can remember this has happened and I have never been able to figure out why it's the norm.

Embarrassed?

Shock?

Anger?

Freaked out?

Destabilized?

Humiliated?

Chastened? (Hmm… that would imply a lesson’s been learned.).

I kinda doubt any big-business Americans might actually learn something from this, but seems to me they need to. Or are we just way too important, entitled, and/or haughty to learn anything from this? We’re always supposed to win, in these things? Does anybody bother to think ahead about how to handle a setback? I’m kinda assuming that’s a dynamic in play now.
