Fascism has kicked into overdrive.

Just read he'll bring lawsuits against those involved with the Mueller investigation and is imposing tariffs on the EU.

Threatened by impeachment, like a cornered animal, he's escalating and in destruction mode. Putin is egging him on.

His target? The Republic of the United States of America. Already battered, she is vulnerable right now.

We're all vulnerable too. So take good care of yourselves, breathe, and do something for your mental health every day.

We have a long, righteous fight ahead of us and need all hands on deck.

what you see, CP.

I also believe he is working hand-in-hand with Putin. Doing his bidding.

Note the way both Putin and drumpf laugh and snicker - are fully sarcastic - when asked about meddling in 2020.

I'm not taking a defeatist stance, we just have to be aware of what's coming and not allow every blow from the usurpers to beat us down psychologically.

The tweets are part of it. I've wondered if they're more than the rantings of a mad man, I think so.

That's why he was willing to stiff smaller contractors so often- he knew that they didn't have the resources for a legal battle.

But he's also made a lot of threats without any action. He's probably just trying to scare people.
