"After I became president, I asked my escort to go to a restaurant for lunch. We sat down and each of us asked what we wanted.
On the front table, there was a man waiting to be served. When he was served, I said to one of my soldiers: go and ask that gentleman to join us. The soldier went and conveyed my invitation to him. The man got up, took his plate and sat down right next to me.
While he ate his hands trembled constantly and he did not lift his head from his food. When we finished, he said goodbye without looking at me, I shook his hand and he left.
The soldier told me:
Madiba that man must have been very ill, seeing as his hands didn't stop shaking while he ate.-
Absolutely no! the reason for his trembling is another.
Then I told him:
That man was the warden of the prison where I stayed. After he tortured me, I screamed and cried asking for some water and he came humiliated me, laughed at me and instead of giving me water, he urinated in my head.
He is not sick, he was afraid that I, now president of South Africa, would send him to prison and do to him what he did to me. But I'm not like that, this conduct is not part of my character, nor of my ethics.

Given that their stated goal is the destruction of the functional state, I see anything which could hinderyou are talking about those that would lick the mud from his jackboots, rather than actually being qualified for their proposed jobs? if he keeps nominating folks from the House of Representatives, he might lose control of it for a while...
it as a blessing and to be encouraged.
I have to maintain that in not dealing effectively with those who financed the coup attempt of 1932, the fate of this country was sealed, assuring that the treacherous bastards would at some point finish that which they started.
Many of the same families that backed the coup attempt were principal investors in the Trump
campaign and were the source of much of the dark money which used in the closing months on the
media blitz.
