Even the moderate and left-leaning web news sites I read from Europe are plastered with 6 to 8 shots of his mug on every opening page, and that started during the election campaign.

I think the whole world is getting very sick of this shit.......

I see it reflected in memes and contests of one-upsmanship to create the best nick-name for Trump.

At some point we have to move beyond ridicule to action.

We should be preparing for what happens next. What happens if the elections are stolen again? What happens if Trump decided that the election results cannot be ratified because of meddling by China or Iran? I know that many will say that this is paranoid thinking, but I contend that we should be gaming out every possible result from this upcoming election.

If you believe that The Russians spent millions of dollars and thirty years to install Trump in the white house, what makes you think that they are going to hand it over after two years to the Democrats?

These problems will exist and get worse with time so long as we have enormous economic inequality around the globe and I see no relief from that now. If the billionaires suffer one step back, they'll just dump millions more into the battle to win next time and they will get increasingly devious with their tactics.

As an amateur, I've watched the stock market get more greedy and isolated from pain since the 80s, with their insistence that margins and efficiency increase every quarter. Out of control mergers and acquisitions has removed any community responsibility from the corporate world - including with our TV and radio networks. I think it's a sure bet that the boards of directors of our MSM corps are loaded with hard-core Republicans who only care about profits.

My perspective from the bottom is that corporations take profits from our money from purchases of goods and services and stab us in the back with those funds by supporting laissez-faire unregulated free market capitalism via right-wing politics.

Frankly speaking as an exhausted old man, I fear it may be an appropriate time to be a bit paranoid......
