27. With this attorney general and justice department

and SCOTUS, I think we could go pretty far. I think voter suppression could go national and go big. Reporters and the news media will continued to be mocked and bullied, some could be physically assaulted. Oh wait.

Are we Germany, 1933 or 1936? Of course not. But I'll say this: I've seen a president assassinated, one resign and one impeached, towers fall, riots in the streets and wars, wars, wars. But nothing I've seen is more disturbing than what is happening right now in America.
After decades of watching our country's wealth disappear into the hands of the 1%, it's about to get a lot worse, with a vengance, while religion plays an even more onerous role in our government. Who's gonna stop them? The Supreme Court?
