(41,832 posts)who is going to make him answer for it? The Republicans run the show, they will just say, "he's being creative" and turn their backs. With Republicans owning the House, Senate, and Supreme court, can we expect them to do their job?
That answer would be laughable, if not so damn serious. As for Anonymous, how come they didn't see this coming? How come they did nothing about it when it happened? What do we expect them to do now? Nothing... absolutely nothing.

(54,027 posts)We have to fight to be heard in the press. We have to sway public opinion. They still fear votes. At the end of the day, that's the only real power.
Don't despair. Fight. It's not over until WE decide it is!!

(41,832 posts)We don't know what will happen. You say the power is with the people? How has that power helped get justice for Blacks being gun downed in the Streets by Police? How has that power helped people who became homeless and was told to move on, from their encampments in the parks? How did that power help Japanese Americans when they were rounded up for internment camps? How has that power done anything for those who will just be trying to survive a long winter without much money for heat? How many more will have to die, because the people in charge at the top don't give a rats ass except for their own pockets?

(54,027 posts)We're not alone. We need to stand up, stand strong, stand together, and get ready to fight for what's right.
I've already started deep in the heart of Texas h ere.
We'll win. History is with us. we just have too do what's right.

(41,832 posts)when Hitler came to power, and the people of Japan finding themselves in War with everyone during World War II. Their leaders decided to drop bombs at Pearl Harbor... and many Japanese families were probably horrified that their leaders chose to go to war against America...How helpless a person can feel when their Leaders decide to go to war... I hope that will not be us!

(135,425 posts)And "Anonymous" is--at the end of the day--a rogue and disavowed arm of US/allied intelligence services. They often suck in 'real' troublemakers, and take them down and out. But their utility in doing things we like, like, say, hacking Syrian government webpages/files, I believe is controlled closer to home.
It'll be interesting to see what becomes of them in the out-years.
