In reply to the discussion: The Crap Doesn't Stop - My Head Is Spinning This Morning...... [View all]Grammy23
(6,135 posts)10. And the people (citizens) are staying in their bungalows, watching it unfold
On their TVs and laptops. Not enough people care to even contact their congressmen to register a complaint. A few will. Most will not. It is like weve almost lost the will to fight. I dont refer to the citizens of DU. Many here are actively involved in fighting back. But the vast majority are just not watching or dont think their speaking up will matter. It is as if theyve already thrown in the towel.
People should be marching in the streets coast to coast. North, south, east and west. In the big cities and tiny towns. But there is mostly silence. It is heartbreaking to see this happen. I believe that tRump will be removed or may even die from the stress of the pressures from Putin and others on him. But by then the damage will be massive and will not be repaired before I go into that gentle night myself. I just wonder when it will occur to the masses that they do have a voice. Will they ever wake up?
If we all descended on DC today would it even matter?
Sorry for the down tone but it just feels like they are not moving fast enough to save us. And all I can ask is why?

At this point you should just assume that anything you can imagine is infact actually going on.

From Cohen testimony and docs alone, it's plain that Trump is guilty of the same financial crimes
