Seriously.

The attacks on the media.

"Fake news."

The Faux Noise propaganda network.

The modern-day Goebbels with Huckabee-Sanders.

A Republican majority that is essentially voting by their actions to hand the country and its institutions over to Putin-controlled Russia.

And the majority of us sit back in silent horror, while the dictator-in-actions prepares to meet with more of his dictator pals and throws himself a parade.

The sick thing is... the 60+ million idiots that voted for this country don't even see that they are supporting their own demise. No one wins except the oligarchs in this game.

The only thing standing between this bleak future and the rest of us is Bob Mueller and his team. We can't even count on the electoral process, because it, too, is probably compromised and this corrupt administration wants to keep it that way.
