After Labor Day the Hurricane shit storm will commence. After Congress reconvenes from its PAID 30 day vacation and starts new investigations and continue old investigations on steroids, the nation will be inundated with a dung throwing "mother of all storms".
We will witness a historical election marked by racism, bigotry, lies, misogyny, and hate we have not seen since the Civil War. We in an election about open racism and its acceptability moving forward. Trump is releasing as many demons as he can. And this country will likely be fragmented for years.
If Hillary is able to maintain a lead in the polls, the attacks, vicious vitriol, and vomit will get even more hysterical. It will possibly even become incendiary than it is now on the hate radio network.
We have not seen the level of hate yet. And we have more than 60 days left of this stuff. The goal of the GOP and Trump is to make this election so hateful that voters will be driven away in droves from voting.
I am not looking forward to the near future. And the MSM will do all it can to stoke the fire. They want an election conflagration to boost the ratings.

Hearings will begin in late October, weeks before the actual election and months before her inauguration. Like her husband, this will help her approval numbers.
(We seriously need to take the Senate and House)

(10,602 posts)Trump's & RW speech is way over the shark and will only get worse. Local RW radio is off the charts with hatred. EVERYTHING that Trump is putting out ultimately is racism down to its very core. And ALL his speech relates to the "southern strategy" It is about the allegation that government spending only benefits "N's", "S's", slackers and misfits. It about the government using YOUR MONEY to help "scum".
Look at the "dog whistle" code. Carry what he is saying about cutting programs, privatizing public institutions, public education and infrastructure. et al. It is already starting.
BTW TRUMP SUPPORTS SCREWING VETS WITH PRIVATIZATION OF VETS HEALTH CARE. How will it work giving a quadraplegic or other severely disabled vet a voucher for private insurance. THAT IDEA IS ALREADY IN THE WORKS FROM GOP FOR CHRIST'S SAKE.

So I think you are a fine one to talk about vitriol.
(Search my posts on Trump before you go accusing me, by the way.)
