Unfortunately, this is the beginning of the end of our democracy. I beleive not even Clinton or Obama were aware that this was a 100% coup by Putin.

Brexit was his first succesful test. France is next.

Trump was possible thanks to Citizens United ruling that allowed Putin's machine to pump large sums of dark money.

The most frightening thing is that historically those people never give up power once acquired. Elections won't stop them - they'll make 'results' just right with the new CIA, FBI, NSA, AG at their disposal - virtually unlimited power.

And please stop that ridiculous 'release tax return' campain. Do you want trump to release 'clean' tax return ti shut up everyone? Do you not get the power he has now? Those things mattered before election. The world has changed and it will never be the same again.
