30. For those who don't want to watch, his point is, guys like Elmo aren't hiding it anymore.

Elmo figures he bought a presidency. He thinks he can buy a Congress too. Or at least use his money to threaten them with losing their seats if they don't bend to his will. And all this wasn't in hushed conversations in back rooms like the old days. It was blatantly on twitter for all to see. Let that little factoid sink in.

I'll say it once again.....there's a seething rage in our populace against the monied class. A righteous rage after decades of being screwed. Enough rage to turn a murderer into a hero recently. THAT is our weapon against what Elmo is up to, if we'd only pick it up and use it.
