So... What.. Happens.. Next? We may have already lost our country.

Anything is on the table at this point.

This should be scaring the absolute shit out of all of us. Our president does not reside in the US. Our congress are either complicit, or spineless idiots.

What is the possible end game in this that gets us through this unmitigated disaster?

1. Next its time for the MSM to focus and concentrate on KGOP Leaders and what they could be getting ou

... out of this relationship or what Russia has on them or the KGOP.

Red Don is enabled by Ryan and McConnell, there's no need to focus on Traitor Tot any longer

2. Might I suggest binge watching these shows

The Handmaids Tale
The Man in the High Castle

4. What's next?

They could announce that they've allowed Russian oversight at all US nuclear facilities and the Trump supporters would talk about how strong that makes us.

5. Uncertainty is definitely scary.

Impeachment? Civil war? Coup d'etat? International intervention? Or capitulation to Trump and Putin?

6. next? we return to a steady diet of outrage, garnished by periodic indictments and resignations

we lost our country in 2016. so far i see very little chance of The Old Republic returning.

i think what happens next depends a lot on whether Putin is satisfied with a brief period of international humiliation or if he wants a long-term balkanization of the USA. how much time does Putin want to sink into this project? it's been wildly successful so far, but it's looking like it's about to hit some legal snags; he might be better served by just calling off the attacks and letting our nation thrash itself to pieces trying to get out of the bind we're already in.

if they were serious about consolidating power, Trump + GOP would have been much more careful about appearances, smooth transitions and slick communications. if that was the plan, it has failed miserably. so what we have instead is a severely weakened government incapable of doing anything correctly -- still preferable to a true autocracy, but definitely liable to slip into one. as battles heat up over reproductive and minority rights, divisions will increase naturally. i think it's likely that Putin considers his work done - once you've pushed the boulder over the cliff, you don't need to push it more on the way down, that part should pretty much take care of itself.
