The stakes are high. If we are foolish and miss the point, we lose everything. November 8, 2016 will go down in history as the expiration date of our fragile democracy.

It is unbelievably hard sometimes to filter out all the lies and diversions. They are coming from everywhere, even from a few so-called "liberals." Jill Stein, who dined with Putin and Flynn, is one such obfuscator.

In general, if Trump or any of his co-conspirators or Russian-fed organizations (like Wikileaks or RT) attack someone, I assume (until proven otherwise) that that person being attacked is a friend to democracy and is speaking the truth, no matter what party affiliation that person may have.

Dictators hate and fear the truth, and people who speak the truth are their enemies.
