United States of Orwell--That's the shithole we now live in.

Even if Democrats brought recording devices into meetings with Drumpt the Reich Wing would just say it was made up.

The Reich Wing of today would have said the Nixon tapes were fake.

Folks understand what a Nazi is and no one will ever normalize Nazism.

Every sign and signal are there...and Muslims are the tip of the new spear as Jews were last time, and of course all non whites regardless of religion.

Ducking obvious, even to Republicans, but they are clearly terrified of a man in control of The Cult, The Bully Twitter and a man controlling 17 intelligence agencies.

Corporate media pulling another "Iraq" is unacceptable.

If we do not turn this around resoundingly in 2018 and 2020 who knows how bad it might get.

If we somehow get total control in 2020.....we must make institutional changes, including getting rid of the Electoral College and Computer Voting....and gerrymandering. Oh and go to public funding of elections.

Nothing will get better until we address those issues.
