2016 Election Turning Into A Chaotic Brawl. RW Media Stoking The Fire.

The election ands its aftermath will look more like the terrain after the Civil War. The RW media and its allies are stoking fear, hatred and chaos because in their mine the will NEVER accept a Hillary Clinton presidency. All the rigging talk is about throwing gasoline on a fire. The road ahead looks potentially dangerous and bleak. Assuming that Hillary will win and that possibility is not yet guaranteed, the RW, Trump, and his supporters will go batshit crazy and ballistic.

We are facing an election like no other in our lifetimes. And the odds are that we will have a bitterly divided and spiteful nation. I see few signs that civility will reign in the future. The vile and bile of the past will look inconsequential compared to today.

The GOP is setting up memes for the future is they lose. And if the GOP stays in control of Congress they will be even less cooperative than they were with Obama. And we can see endless investigations and schemes to impeach Clinton and neutralize the results of the election.

It just seems like the country is coming apart and that nothing will get done to address or problems. Worse yet despite even evidence of pending climate disaster the GOP will stop all efforts to address the issue. It is like being on a train track with an approaching train and the GOP holding you on the track

All of the same people in America, regardless of political affiliation, are starting to line up against him, with the very, very conservative/rich as god/influential Meg Whitman being the latest.

Any legislation to fund action to combat the Zika virus begins in the House of Representatives. They have been asked multiple times by the President and the CDC to allocate funds.

The inaction of the House is criminal!
