We Are Facing Monstrous & Troubled Times.

The future looks ominous at this point in time. Charlottesville looks like only the beginning. As bad as this administration looks I am concerned how much worse it could be. And we must be ready for a long resistance and fight.

We know that the last Trump statement was not sincere and forced. It was made just for political reasons. Noting has changed despite the announcement . The white supremacists are still emboldened.

The question is how much will the police stand down and let these ghouls spread their hate?

Based on the recent violence in Charlottesville and how peaceful protesters have been treated recently I am not confidant about our police forces.

Plus the fact that there is GOP legislation afoot allowing someone to be run over or being charged with a felony if even a window is broken diminishes confidence that democracy is still alive. Any of this legislation is unthinkable.
