Pearl Harbor has been bombed. The enemy thinks they have crippled us by plunging the nation into debt and poverty. Take away our health, our savings, our houses and our jobs, and we will be too weak to fight backthats how the story is supposed to go.
Trumps Russian handlers have always had a tin ear when it comes to the heart and mind of this country. This demonstration of Republican Authoritarian Power looks more like unbridled greed and bullying to your average American. With an added twist. Billions of our tax dollars will be flowing into the hands of foreign eliteslike Putin.

The battle lines have been drawn. Time to saddle up. The next ten months will be rough, but we, the people will win. This in 1776 all over again, but this time Putin is playing the role of King George. Show him what a real Boston Tea Party looks like. Taxation without representation is tyranny. Taxing a people to fill the pockets of foreign leaders is treason!

Third party splitters should not be tolerated unless they can show us that they a chance of actually winning. We have allowed overselves to be divided and conquered in the name of inclusiveness.

Since the 1970s, planetary wealth has quadrupled, much of it concentrated right here in the U.S., a tsunami-type sea change in socioeconomic realities.

We need a single word to evokes Putin/Trump.

(58,785 posts)We didn't grow up watching it grow up quietly and uncommented on, and most media are not exactly screaming and yelling at us to run.
I gave you a clue. Do you think if Trump AND Putin dropped dead democracy would be safe? (Answer, no real change.)
