With all the administration SHOULD be doing, they're spending time on ELECTION matters.

[Honeycombe8]

Syria, the looming budget, health care, relations with allies, trade, energy, the environment, the investigations...all that SHOULD be keeping the administration 100% busy. And now we know they are focused on funding events and elections, instead of focusing on the country.

And Trump is also focused on attacking the press, including his recent trailer trash tweets against Joe and Mika.

This is absolutely shameful and shocking. I'm getting scared. This is beginning to look to me like the beginning of a wacko dictatorship. Is this how a dictatorship happens? Someone who is off in the head starts behaving bizarrely, obsessing over bizarre things, breaking with reality, saying hateful mean things, ragging on an environment of violence and hate...and those others in power do nothing about it?

I admit I'm getting a little scared.

1. Dictatorships often begin with media attacks and election manipulation

Not saying Trump is necessarily a would be autocrat, but a lot of the things he does are out of the Chavez/Putin autocrat playbook.

2. Don't blame Donald, The Virgin President, he's new at this. nt
