Some possible early danger signs for a Trump presidency

Is president Trump going to be (merely) a clueless but obnoxious and racially tone-deaf hard-core conservative?

Or is he gearing up for something far more sinister?

Some possible signs to watch out for, IMO:

-- mysterious deaths of critical comedians and reporters

-- major new sites stop publishing stories critical of the administration

-- websites getting shutdown

-- news stories put out directly by the government

-- white-supremacist and neo-Nazi groups becoming more vocal in the media

-- the military being mobilized domestically, perhaps for rounding up immigrants

-- a major terrorist attack on US soil

-- a major foreign war being pushed on minimal provocation

-- a nuclear bomb going off somewhere in the world


Just a few not so pleasant thoughts...

remember when thats all he had to say, paraphrasing here, 'if we have so many nukes why can't we use them.'

I'm hoping the powers to be are installing or have already installed a firewall between little hands and the button

Alexander Litvinenko (Who actually lived in the UK, but still) - Polonium.
So check your toothpaste, make sure it doesn't glow in the dark

Sergei Magnitsky - 'Abdominal rupture'/'heart attack' which conveniently looked a lot like a beating that conveniently happened days before he HAD to be charged on made up charges or released without charge
If you're going to criticize Trump and the Trumpets of the Apocalypse, make sure you know how to contact the ACLU

Because we have no idea how insane he really is, but we can bet that no good will come from a Trump pResidency.

I think either ...

A. We end up in the next Great Depression after he gives huge tax breaks to his wealthy buddies and slashes all the safety nets to pay for it.

B. Trump goes full blown Nazi on us and sends tanks into streets to quell any protests. Russia and the US will be like Germany & Japan in WWII taking over the world and we'll be in the 4th Reich. Except this time instead of starting with the Jews, he'll start with the Muslims.

C. A nuclear holocaust.

D. All of the above.

Thanks for reminding me. Actually, they will also need an anti-christ to bring on the famine, wars, poverty, the end of the world ... etc., and Trump is a perfect fit for that job.
