Most of the stuff we ramble on about here - petitions, marches, calling your Congresscritter, what Kellyanne said today - are completely irrelevant, They make us feel good, give us a sense of solidarity, and help get us through the emotional storm somewhat more intact. But affect the outcome? Not a snowball's chance in hell.

If the wrecking crew in the WH can ignore Congress and Federal judges as they are doing, they won't even notice us.

This is a geopolitical game being played at the highest levels, and the stakes are the power structures of the world. Putin wants to completely realign the global balance of power, with Russia at the top, and the USA swept off the board. The whole Trump shitstorm is the visible part of WWIII. If we lose,the nation will go dark. And we have virtually zero influence on the outcome.

It's going to get more intense. We need to hang on tight and pay attention to what is important.
