The "news" about the "new" administration has totally engulfed most of my waking moments. And for all I know it has infiltrated my dreams. (I don't remember my dreams but since dreaming is supposed to be a way our mind works through the problems we confront during the day I can only imagine that my dreams are dystopian at the very best!)

~~~Oligarchs running the country. Completely unqualified loyal lackeys in key positions of the cabinet, hence the age old question, 'what could possibly go wrong?'; explosive foreign stories hitting us every day; wow, what a time to be alive! What a time to witness the "Fall of the "American Empire".

~~~I keep watching knowledgeable people that I admire assure us that, "it's not in the constitution, it IS in the constitution, the courts won't allow it". I know these people are well educated, smart & knowledgeable but I can't help but think that they are naive in thinking that these last bastions of democracy will protect us from what is to come. I know that "they know" how dictatorships operate. All of us talk about it all the time but what I don't think they understand is that trump & his loyal lackeys don't care about those last bastions of democracy. Do we really think that he will care about "legality* when it comes to jailing his detractors? Somehow I doubt it.

~~~He has his militias which he will empower after he frees all the J-6 "hostages" & if you don't think that they have retribution lists in mind, well I wish I lived in that fantasy world. Once those criminals are let loose I worry for the police & law enforcement officers that protected the Capital on J-6. I'm sure you'll see the Hostage Retribution Tour in all its glory emerge very quickly.i hope we can hold back the onslaught.

Right there with ya. I have zero hope that we can turn this back. We are in for dystopia on steroids. There will be no elections in 2 years to change anything. The oligarchs have bought everyone and they will reign for at least a generation as the rest of us drift in decline.
