Before the election, after the election, and throughout this entire nightmare Ive been telling people that North Korea was going to be the flashpoint. It really didnt take a genius to see that to tell you the truth.
Im very frightened at this point. The Republicans are so focused on getting their tax cut through that to them nothing else matters. They dont seem to be able to pull their heads out long enough to realize that if we cross the line with North Korea probably nothing else is really going to matter.
Republicans and all of their mindless adherents have become some sort of a apocalyptic death cult.
I wish I could say there was some sort of leadership here but there really isnt.
There is this amorphous ideology that is part libertarianism, part objectivism, part Dominionism, and part Im a spoiled little brat and I hate everyone and everything and I want to tear it all down.
Current Republican Party is nativistic, xenophobic, racist, anti-elitist, anti-intellectual, anti-knowledge, anti-science
But boy are they for tax cuts! Because thats what the people that fund the entire operation want and thats what theyre going to deliver.
That we are on the brink of a nuclear war that is probably going to be started by us doesnt really seem to be on their radar right now.
They will not do anything.
The question is is will Mueller move fast enough to stop this train in its tracks? Or, really, can he?
Corker is at least trying at this point. But hes getting no support from this party.
I am deeply, deeply afraid.
