The Sh*t has been on a direct trajectory toward the Fan since at least November

[Tom Rinaldo]

Some of it is hitting in Los Angeles now. Much more is on the way. My own flashbacks are to 1968. Prior generations of Americans, were they somehow here now to experience this, might draw comparisons to 1929, or to1859. It's like being in a plane flying at 30,000 feet that's rapidly approaching a massive front of Thunder Storms, too wide to fly around, to high to rise above. Severe turbulence directly ahead is a given. There is no avoiding it.

We have a good chance of making it through this storm, though there's no guarantee. History periodically comes to a crescendo. This is one of those times. We're unlikely to emerge unscathed, but we will rebuild if we make it.

The thing is, no one comes out smelling like a rose when the sh*t hits the fan, and that includes those who threw it in the first place. I think most of the American people will not forgive the forces that cause the complete destabilization of our economy and society. Those who bring down that pain upon us all will ultimately suffer repudiation because of it. It will get uglier before it gets better, but that's why I think they will lose. Americans still have too much to lose to watch it all going down the drain.
