Where is the hope of stopping any of these picks. What the hell are we going to do. How dark will the coming days get?

so what do we do? What do we do? What do we do? Russia has nuclear weapons. Orangehitler wants to use them-if we don't do something right now we will never have fair elections again-or until the civil war.

Since election night. I haven't participated in any post election analysis. No "where did we go wrong". No "if onlys". I was not willing to waste my time discussing things that had comparatively little to do with the outcome we got.

All I can think about is that waiting until after the inauguration of that filthy, cheating, maggot will be too late. Our county will be lost.

This has to be stopped. Now.

Everything our constitution stands for has been violated. The laws we follow. The taxes we pay. The country and communities we have built. The patience we've practiced. All of it will be just a memory if we allow this to go on.

We need to shut it down. We have the means to do it. The internet is still open and ours to use. Even though it feels like half the country is on his side, the truth is most of us aren't. We are the majority. We just need to make it clear that we won't allow this to happen. We need smart legal and political minds to tell us what will work and then we need to take action.

For the first time in my life I can imagine a national strike/protest actually happening. But someone has to lead.

After Trump is sworn in it will be a military lock down to "keep peace and order". The question is who will lead? Bernie could make it happen as could Clinton.

The first one was in 2000, and the press, AND the Democratic Party ALL rolled over for the Repigs.
