It is not a simple coincidence that Russians show up in secret meetings with different people within this Administration, and always in a secretive manner.

It reminds me of an old saying, perhaps it was Ben Franklin?, that we must all hang together or we will surely all hang separately.

This is not just Trump though. It's the culmination of years of gerrymandering and far right hate media. It feels as if we're losing democracy and falling into a totalitarian regime.
