These are the real people who are running the country. The "deep state" isn't running the country, the "corporate state" is running the country.

Donald Trump is just one big distraction, as TruthDig put it, he is just a useful idiot while the corporate state packs the courts with Federalist judges, while the fossil fuel industry guts the environment, including on federal land, while Monsanto(Baer) poisons our food, while Wall Street and the bankers are once again deregulated, while everything is deregulated in the name of corporate greed.

I will be shocked if anything happens to Wilbur Ross, well, maybe Trump will give him a medal.

hell I have reader burnout. Hope Hicks on AF1. Not supposed to talk to the dumptrump. Sessions quietly dismantling every civil and human right in amerika. While every once in a while ordering the reopening of old civil rights cases, just a day before yesterday, a 60-year-old one from Miss. to distract, divert. This is a total disaster.

There is no political majority large enough to clean it up. The rule of law itself is barely functioning.

'Too big to fail' has become 'too important to clean up'.

They are all so blatant about it, doing it in broad daylight right before our eyes. It's as if they know there will be no penalty to pay. As though they know something is coming that we don't know about.
