  Fallen Angels 1995

  “House of cards: The Catholic Church”

  Imagine if attempts at securing the US presidency had this many automatic disqualifiers. Having a child whom you did not father? Paying for votes in promises of high ranking positions? Being a rugged traditionalist and Islamophobic warmonger? Those traits might be shoe ins for government leadership- two of which easily spun into humanizing character profiles to manufacture relatability and one being the normalized expectation.  Or would that just be all of them? Anyway, poor…
