Recovery for America is going to take a miracle. Nearly every branch of government

is now compromised: the polls, Department of Justice, the Supreme Court, Congress, in some cases the military, and areas unnamed,, allegedly. Just collecting my thoughts. How can this be corrected:? In 24 hours, the crumbling has started.
