country as their territory. I've often said, look at parts of the world that live lives of hostilities, failed governments for all but the wealthy elitists, and that's the future of the US as this continues as the government is dismantled for sheer profit.

Now, we see the damn fools of this country have empowered those that only care about money and their self-enhancement. We're in for a disastrous future and I don't think the democrats or Independents have much leverage to add much controlling balance. The electorate and inane electoral college have given the engine and full throttle to the GOP who plans to drive most of US over the cliff. The GOP does not need the citizenry, really. The citizenry is not needed for the most part in the US and is in the way of the GOP power advance.

The last stop gap is the electoral college vote, but I doubt they have the guts to stop Trump and some probably welcome Trump as the savior from Hillary's horrific email server which many have said was more secure than the government servers. FFS, we are living in some kind of Stephen King novel.
