Watching Rachel tonight

[oldtime dfl_er]

I have come to the conclusion that we are never going to get these people out of power. This large bunch of Russian oligarchs, international banks, American crooks and others control all the money. They have all the power. They are working to consolidate all that power. Eventually there's going to be a war at the top, among those hideously corrupt, dangerous people. YOu and I will continue to be collateral damage, but not just by keeping us oppressed and impoverished. They're going to kill us all.

It's depressing.

1. Yes. I have it on DVR and will rewatch again because

the most significant shocking story was about the Dutch are gonna do to protect their presidential election on Wednesday. My jaw was on the floor.

[oldtime dfl_er]

4. good for the Dutch

paper ballots, hand counted under great scrutiny, in every district.

And the far right Nazi type STILL might win.

[Jarqui]

2. It would be ironic if their stupid gun laws were the end of them.

Eventually, people are not going to take this.

[LaydeeBug]

6. or...eventually...they are going to get used to it

[triron]

10. What I'm afraid of. The American sheeple are so gullible.

[bdamomma]

8. unless those people with those guns

make an about face and realize they were duped... not saying anymore.

[Jarqui]

9. Agreed. Maybe should not have gone there

but it's pretty distressing that these people with so much money can have so little heart and/or compassion for the less fortunate

[bdamomma]

12. They really feel

that they are entitled to that wealth, that they are the chosen people. They hate those who need that social safety net, they hate science, regulations....etc. They have a inane hate for humanity and the environment.

You know they hated FDR, who got these programs started.

[triron]

14. Yeah you should. Founders would have probably agreed with you.

[LaydeeBug]

3. Yep...and each day we don't get a special prosecutor is another day they get away with it.

where are the tax returns?

[bdamomma]

5. Where are the tax returns

that is the big question, and should be asked over and over.

[LaydeeBug]

7. amen...and the repudiate Russia. nt

[triron]

15. Where's the media on this???

[LaydeeBug]

19. complicit. They'll hype a drip for ratings, but then they'll just 'pivot' to ANYTHING else for cover

This will come from the streets or it won't come at all.

16. If Dana Boente Chooses

the special prosecutor, then I'm not sure we're going to be in good shape. If you'll recall, Obama felt it was urgent to remove Boente from the line of succession just one week before inauguration. As soon as Trump became president, he immediately reversed that with an EO.

[First Speaker]

11. One possibility I've always wondered about--their security turns on them...

...the men--and they are mostly men--with the guns whom they'll increasingly rely upon to protect them from the hoi polloi like us...somehow, they--the .0001 percent--are stupid enough to screw *them* around. It would seem elementary common sense to treat your protectors well enough so that they don't get any ideas of solidarity with the suckers. But the oligarchs just might be stupid enough to consider doing so a violation of the "bottom line", an affront to Randian principles of economic laws. If so, it would only take one case of the hired help taking matters into their own hands, and we just might have our Bastille Moment. This wouldn't necessarily be a good thing--after all, it could easily inaugurate an era in which power, as the saying goes, comes out of the barrel of a gun. But I swear to God, anything--anything at all--would be better than the Paul Ryans and Fox News troglodytes gloating at the rest of us forever. At least this would wipe the smirk off the faces of people who richly deserve to have their smirks wiped off...

[bdamomma]

13. add Mitch McConnell too.

great post.

[First Speaker]

17. Thank you!...

[Maru Kitteh]

18. I get so effen tired of reading defeatist bull-dookie. Woe upon us, nothing we can do, why even try.

Pardon me, but fuck that noise.


I will [font size = 7]RESIST[/font]

We have made a difference. We will continue to fight. We will continue to deliver defeat to this monster as we have, early and often.

[akbacchus_BC]

20. Have faith, this clown and his bunch of clowns may last for four years!

But who knows, those fuckers who voted for him may vote for him again. In four years, thiss asshole will damage the US and make Putin look good.
