I don't think it would be possible for even the most imaginative script writer to come up with what we've all sickeningly observed since election theft night.
Nothing - absolutely nothing - has been successful, productive, helpful, creative - of course, when we have a blob of an ignoramus who does nothing but watch TV, play golf, campaign, lie, embarrass himself and break things - how could it be - have been - any different?
What's more unbelievable, though - the insane amount of utter daily fail from the dumpster himself, the apparent 40% or so (but it is really that many) of brain dead dead enters who lick and suck it all up and worship the orange asshole, or the completely ineffective congressional member of his party and cabinet who change his soiled diapers, clean up his vomit, breath in his flop sweat and bow down to ask for more each day?
Yes, you bet I am indescribably pissed off and at the very end of my rope!

He's ever a source of evil whispering in Trump's ear.

(15,290 posts)The rUSSRian angle is there and active. But it is just another vector for infection of the democracy of the US and many other western nations.
The major impetus behind all of these efforts is the same old group of capitalists that existed well before the First World War, through WW-II, and are still active now. They just want as much control and money as they can get. They have the power to manipulate whole states and news organizations. They don't have to report to anyone.
Plutocrats, oligarchs, kleptomaniacs, capitalists. Infecting the government, the voting systems, and the brains of stupids.

(19,565 posts)There's some truly deep trouble brewing in the Middle East and Eastern Ukraine (and potentially Eastern Europe!) which has been keeping me awake at night, amongst so many other things bubbling in this administration's cauldron of evil works.
I'm trying to stay focused on getting Trump out. I'm educating, donating and trying to decide between volunteering for a state level candidate or our nominee one right now. It keeps me sane to focus on his removal... one way or the other. I just want to do something to end this nightmare and return to something resembling decency.
Indescribably pissed off too,
Cats.
P.S. nice to see you my friend.

(6,278 posts)and we are nowhere near where it is going. Anybody who has ever had the misfortune to be a liberal living in red country who turned an am radio on knows exactly where this is headed at 1000 mph. And why the urban Democrats have done nothing to stop the hateful propaganda of over 30 years is beyond my wildest imagination. I blame it utterly on their love of porn- so stuck on defending the first amendment for fear that their miserable porn would be curtailed- that they threw us all under the bus. No protection from hate speech, doctors murdered by nuts encouraged by these radio commentators, but not taken off the air, fined or imprisoned or anything. Crazed ranchers taking over wildlife refuges destroying research, and then not convicted because the members of the juries all listen to the same hateful anti intellectual, anti government, anti science rhetoric. Nothing was ever done to these actors who incited violence and murder. And now their goal of destroying the union is near fulfillment.
But I guess everyone lives in bubbles. The right wing hate bubble has seized complete power. They will not give it up. They will take the union down with them. It remains foolish to think that reason and law can deal with this.
It is the only sensible thing I heard from that rather odd ( at least to me) Marianne Williamson.
Sorry to be so negative, but I remain unconvinced that the union will survive this. These are mean cruel people who have the support of a vast group of mean cruel people who have only been pretending to be civil and nice all along.

(90,714 posts)...the US federal government, its bureaucracy, and Civil Service -- as well as the republic itself. Whether he came up with some of this by himself or is taking all his instructions from the sweet nothings whispered in his ear by Vladimir Putin is sometimes hard to say.
But they are certainly succeeding in what they set out to do.

(15,290 posts)They're still present. They may actually be using Putin as a shield.
The real benefactors from the collapse of US government regulation and control are those international corporations/owners who need to rape the land yet a bit more.
Not subject to any disclosures. All assets/transfers very well hidden.
