We, the People, are caught in a political Ponzi scheme of horrific magnitude and consequences.

The cost to US, the People, will be our liberty, our American ideals, our exceptionalism and our constitutional infrastructure. We are being conned out of our American dream, our heritage, by the Ratpublicans.

They suspect, I hope rightly so, that they may well lose the House and Senate this midterm election cycle. They are so desperate that they are resorting to court packing so that they can legislate from the bench. This opprobrious tactic is designed to keep all unclean people, as defined by them, from engaging in the American dream.

Aided and abetted by the extremist religious right and the odious evangelicals, the Ratpublicans are in a race to subvert American idealism via lies, threats, theft and unabashed shameless violence. Never forget that the malodorous tRump is but one person. He can do almost nothing without the express permission and assistance of the radical right wing, and quite anti American, extremists now trolling our nation into a downward retrenchment of 1850s and 1950s ideological demagoguery.

It wouldn't surprise me if it comes out he was in the middle of the negotiations with Kennedy to resign.
