Ask yourself, what does Putin want ?
That's the direction we are going.
We all know Tmp is in Putin's pocket.
Two predictions-
Soon after taking office, we will cut off aid to Ukraine
Within one year it will be clear that we are attempting to sabotage NATO. we will either cut off funding to NATO, or simply drop out.
Putin also wants unrest and instability in the United States, both socially and economically
So while we are all concerned that trump's economic policies will favore the rich, they will also simply cause economic downturn. And that is by design.
And yeah, Putin's real wet dream is a civil war in the US.

Putin always leaves his calling card at his crime scenes.
He loves it when people know how smart and powerful he is.

(6,103 posts)Those under a sworn oath to the Constitution were committed to protecting it. Now it's political games as usual and everyone only cares about their own position, and how to keep it and the money stream flowing.
We have had Supreme Court justices in the past with the will to step up and take things into their own hands if that became necessary. That's what should have happened to the Mueller Report, the Supreme Court should have wrestled it out of the Justice Department's hands and put it in the federal court system. But there's no Thurgood Marshall on the court, and hasn't been any one with that kind of courage since he died.

(102,512 posts)The bigger question should be how Fuckface won. The answer is that so many people have been brainwashed by propaganda and there is no alternative to Fox, Infowars, Joe Rogan, etc. We need to get to work on fixing that. The world may not look the same in 4 years.
