Woke up this morning with image of DU hack in

my mind. On “election” day in Nov 2016 this site was hacked. I have been a long time member here dating way back to W after Selection 2000. The image forced upon me, and upon every user here, is vivid and piercing. After last night’s Tax heist by KGOP this is the image I woke up with. If you experienced it, then you know; you can see it now I would venture a guess. If not, this post won’t mean anything to you...my apologies.

There are many disturbing and atrocious aspects of this tax heist but the most heinous is the blatant disregard for the majority of the American people by the KGOP. The process failed. The institution failed. The rule of law failed (again). The people who are supposed to represent their constituents clearly did not and have not. It’s like a double dog dare to the majority of Americans in a modern day “taxation without representation” to take action. The fact that our government has been involved in a hostile takeover is horrifying. The KGOP forced this Tax heist down our throats. They know the majority of Americans are against it. They don’t care. Their lack of care is terrifying on many levels.
Their actions against their constituents are a dereliction of duty but they act without concern for the future...as if they are immune. Why? That is an important question. Historically “vote em out” was a remedy one they are obviously not worried about.

We have not only looked over the precipice, we have fallen into it. There is no trampoline at the bottom.
Yeah, I'm pretty down today.

we have been thrown off the precipice without our consent because the majority is against all of this. The system has failed and who knows what is at the bottom?

the car...haunting. At the time, I knew it was no ordinary run-of-the-mill hacker. I mean, I had no way to know for certain but intuitively I knew something was wrong, way wrong. And, DU was down for days and days afterward. Bizarre!
