I believe this latest takeover of our government is not only a Putin power play

but a huge battle we've lost in the class war—the upper class is more aware of the war than the lower classes.
Everyday—especially this week, watching what the congress /senate are doing—it is becoming more obvious that they are destroying what little is left of the middle-class.
If there is something illegal going on within the Trump ranks (and I am 100% certain the whole lot of them are traitors), it needs to be rectified now, before we are brought back to the early industrial age way of life.

we don't move forward until we move backward. A huge part of the country refuses to open their eyes until their lives are ruined. Those of us who are in the know? I'm afraid we're just along for the ride.

Karma to exact its revenge. When the blowback comes, and it almost assuredly will, woe be unto the Rethugs and their minions.

The Western Oligarchy vs. the Eastern Oligarchy - our vs. theirs. So far theirs are winning.

There is a tectonic shift happening in the world's power structures right now. All the world's pressures - economic, social, political, ecological and overpopulation - are colliding on a landscape that is being stripped of both renewable and non-renewable resources. What will happen as a result is impossible to tell, but most of the probable outcomes seem to be negative, both for the USA and much of the world.
