So let me get this straight

The coup is complete … Trump and company are now working openly to help Russia rig our elections again.


Trump fired the head of the DNI, Joseph Maguire, because he did his job and allowed
Shelby Pierson to do her job and report to the House Intel Committee that our intelligence
showed that Russia was working to rig our 2020 election for Trump?

And now Trump has replaced the DNI personal with a person, Kash Patel, who gets his intel
from Devin Nunes and Devin gets his information Vlad Putin (allegedly).

To paraphrase George Carlin; 'The world is a freak show and if you live in America you've got a front row seat'.

I'm beginning to wonder if this is how people felt back in Nazi Germany. Where the madness was just drip...drip...drip at first and then the total insanity just came over them like a final tidal wave where they were powerless to do anything to stop it.

If you ask me this gives us a big hammer to mash Chump over the head with and set the Democratic Party as the true party of patriots
