Time Is Running Out.......

We are in trouble, and if we don't act soon, our free 

way of life will disappear..

All the negative things that so many have foretold with the ascension of the Trump machine are happening and it portends an ugly result.

The full panoply of Russian activity and subversion is becoming clear, and what were at first tenuous threads to the Trump people are being revealed as much more substantive.   In fact the relationships that are being revealed are so antithetical to what we have always believed were American values, that it is breathtaking.

The level of lying, misrepresentation, obfuscation and distraction is constant and at a high level.  As soon as reporters or critics point to questionable and downright illegal activities by the Trump Administration, the immediate response is to distract, change the subject or revive old tropes about the Clintons or Democrats.

The House Intelligence Committee farce; the double standard and crass shell game the administration is playing is not fooling anyone, but the continually muted flaccid response from Republicans is remarkable.  When will all these people remember that they are Americans first before Republicans.  Our democracy is truly in danger.

The Russians are slowly, successfully dismantling our democratic institutions with the complicity of the Trump Administration.  The Administration itself is slowly but surely dismantling all the safeguards set in place by the previous administrations to protect us, the citizens.  Instead the ‘preferred citizens’ are now corporate interests and greedy billionaires.  Eventually the populist promises will wind up biting the believers in the ass, and then, maybe we can recapture our democracy from the clutches of those whose goal is to dismantle the ‘administrative state’.

There are so many potentially egregious, impeachable actions taking place at every turn, that we are all being numbed by it.  Guess what folks, lying is not OK!  Stonewalling investigations and raising of red herrings is not OK!  Changing our democracy into a strongman authoritarian ruling modality is not OK!  Not releasing tax returns, continuing to maintain economic controls and management of personal interests which is in violation of the emoluments clause of the Constitution is not OK!

And now, look at the ‘Presidents’ advisors:  Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump—nepotism, please!  All the unqualified people running parts of the government now who subscribe to the President and Bannon’s plan to deconstruct the government seem to have a free hand to do their damage.

I am certain that the founding fathers are spinning in their graves at the metamorphosis taking place in our beloved republic.
