With what has happened the past 10 days?

One things is for sure! We are seeing an unraveling trend of Trump and mindlessly making worse every day. High anxiety is more prevalent than ever before.

Trump has made clear that he will do whatever he wants. No laws will stop him from his evil ways. The constitution is only a whim of lawlessness to him. The chaos is real and it will only get worse. He will say things to distract from his other crisis that he has caused.

I’m afraid of the consequences of his behavior is highly likely to be more severe than than we have already seen.

His immunity from the courts give him free rein to perpetrate his crimes without recourse of the laws and courts.

We have seen some push back from the courts and Congress, but when it comes down to stop him from doing his crimes? Nothing will be done. We should not be surprised by this? We saw this when he vetoed to somewhat major bills and Congress was afraid to override them. Thus will more bills be passed and he vetoes them, Congress will never override the vetoes because Trump scares them.

All this is just another reason why Trump doesn’t care about anything! He isn’t going to listen, nor will obey the rules of the constitution or any world leaders’ rebuke to stop what he is doing.

We thought Putin is dangerous? Well Trump is pushing the boundaries of scaring the world and even Putin.

The foundation is laid out and we are the ponds in his evil schemes and that my friends, is the cruel reality of his evilness.

One other thing? He has goons in place to take over after he is gone. That too should be noted. His goons lie just as much as he does and are just as evil as he is.

How do we stop this madness? I’m not sure how too? But we have to be prepared for the worst and hopefully the good will prevail.

call, write, educate, get out of your comfort zone and protest (peacefully, but with passion), etc.... whatever you can do... we are not at the warning stage, we are in deep

Meaning inept mango Mussolini breaks all the guard rails, eliminate all the checks, so that when the next puppet of the handful of billionaires running the country will stay laser focused on making the oligarchy stick and ending democracy.

Look at the list of billionaires who paid the bribes for the ballroom. Now imagine that group of more capable people, also completely lacking in empathy or humanity running the show directly

Scary, scary stuff.

What they are doing is that they think they are all powerful and almost immortal. One or two of them should be disabused of those notions. I suspect then the willingness of those that remain to underwrite the fascist regime will decrease. The same can be said about the monsters, Miller and Vought, who actually are the ones running the show. Miller thinks might makes right. His hypothesis should be tested on him.
