I look for the humor in things no matter how bad they are. Sometimes it is the only thing than can keep you sane. I really do agree with the posts that suggest there will be a Reichstag Fire very soon and I am deeply worried about what that might be.
I can't help but think of the scene from Ghostbusters where Gozer the Gozerian demands that the Ghostbusters "Choose the form of the Destructor" and Ray (Dan Akroyd) thinks of the Stay Pufft Marshmallow Man. I suspect Trump will think of something but doubt it will be anything as benign as Mr Stay Pufft. It scares me.

(3,764 posts)The Reichstag Fire is already in the works. It's in Bannon's playbook already. Close to Election Day, either 2018 or 2020, depending on how the polling looks, this administration will allow a terrorist attack to happen (whether through sheer incompetence or purposeful design), and likely someplace within the United States. And just like after 9/11, we'll all be called upon to unite behind "our President." It will be dinner theater designed to keep the Republicans in power, but actual people are going to die. Count on it. It's already been planned. As a previous poster mentioned, WE need to keep talking about this NOW so when it happens, people will already have it in the backs of their minds that this isn't just some unfortunate event we were powerless to stop (or, as the Drumpf administration will play it, an unfortunate event we COULD HAVE stopped had we only listened and allowed him to put all of his horrible ideas into place). If we don't raise awareness of it now, people will quite predictably rush to back the "strong father figure who keeps us safe." But guess what happens if we tell them it's coming and then it happens.
