Trump Legacy - Widespread Corruption, Racism, Bigotry, Misogyny, Media Suppression, Et Al.

You name it and we will see assault against freedom and suppression of targeted gourds like we have never seen before.And the GOP and press will be in total cooperation of the destruction. I am afraid we will see a society just like Gotham City or that of Robocop in the future.

It is very difficult to see anything other than gloom and doom when reviewing the forming cabinet we see so far. And Trump is not even sworn in yet.

I know I have been accused of being too pessimistic. I would really rather be otherwise. However I have been witnessing the slide and following the slide since Reagan all this time. Obama was the one hope, yet that birth flame faded far too fast. We could never really get the upper hand because we did not get a solidly veto proof Senate long enough. It took too long to settle some elections in 2008. And the GOp always had enough power to stall progress.

Look at the steady stream of saboteurs like Gingrich, Bush I, Bush II, Frist, McConnell, and a host of others too numerous too mention. The Reagan Revolution moved steadily forward like a lava flow. We could check their destruction but we could never stop or actually reverse it.

Obama was just a hopeful interlude and thanks to a corrupted and dishonest media and RW radio his initiatives were tainted by false equivalencies, lies and distortions.

So here we are facing an uncertain future with a true mad man at the helm and a willing bunch of GOP collaborators. Still there s some hope in our coming fight.

And most corrupt administration in HISTORY, and you can see that just by the racists, ignoramuses, misogynistic, woman-beating (Bannon),money-grubbing, pro-Russian/Anti-USA ingrates like himself that he's putting into this cabinet of deplorables.

Too bad that 99% of the so-called Liberal Media won't care enough to cover all of the out and out right CRIME and LAW-BREAKING that'll be going on the next 4 years of their president's presidency. Hell, the conflict of interests and law-breaking has started even BEFORE January 2017.

And they'll blame the democrats for everything. Like the good liars and bullies that they are. If we really want to make some change, we need to start by taking back the media and bringing back the Fairness Doctrine.
