Our system of government is being put through a stress test..

The results so far are not pretty.

We have atleast 2 branches of Government that are compromised with the third on the brink.

Public Institutions are being eviscerated.

We have to wait until 2018 to fight the next battle. And we will be up against gerrymandered district and dumbfucks from freeperland.

And Oh .. Jeff Bastard Sessions will do everything to turn the clock back on civil rights.

I just hope we do not see journalists/civil servants getting murdered but things in general are going to get much worse before they get better.

So buckle up.
