The only question left is how low are they willing to go..

The corruption of the systems of Government in America are happening with intensifying, shocking regularity, for reasons. Trump and the powers behind his throne have pushed America into a state of almost absolute political chaos, egging on the violent bigotry, racism and hate that sit in the hearts of too many, allowing themselves to be distracted from the actual important shit, like freedom. They are being stoked into a frenzy by politicians happy to nourish that brutality if it secures their own power.

These days they do it without embarrassment, right out in the open. At least in the pre-Trump era they understood that even as they wanted to pull this shit off they had to do it undercover because such corruption would not stand with the majority. Not anymore. They are in your face. They have literally no shame as they pull apart the very principles on which America was founded. Trump has given them permission to show us who they really are, and it is nasty. They have made a political choice to stand with the wanker instead of standing with democracy… and are using distraction tactics to dupe the racist wankers that still, despite all evidence, think they are the bees knees. Ridiculous.

The only question left is how low are they willing to go in consolidation of power? Just when we think they can’t go any lower… Surprise!!! We all know it was trite bollocks when they said he had learnt his lesson with impeachment. This week has showed that all bets are off… he will do whatever he wants and fuck everything and everyone else. All the while winding up the MAGAts to very dangerous levels of white supremacist angst. What could possibly go wrong?...

And maybe some key shut downs like when -45 shut the government down. Remember how that ended?

at least I got to move out of my car two years ago. But I'm on a fixed income and have to save up for anything beyond bare necessities.
