Trump seems to planning to tear the United States apart. One institution at a time.......

The GOP politicians seem to be helping him. Why?

And they are trying to take over the US and run it like the mob also.

Because they have excellent hackers working for the Russian government, it is safe to assume that they are blackmailing our entire government, including and especially the GOP, based on things they have found while digging around.

We are being taken over by a crime syndicate, and there is no one to stop it.

Has been watching too much of the movie "Goodfellas". Putin has him attacking those he wants to restructure with only people that'll answer to only him, not the people, or the Constitution. His false claims precedes his plans to oust all those who oppose him, and will do as HE wants them to do, or else. Just like his shaking down other countries, companies, and people for not attacking them too, or offers of protection, just like the mob has done.

The Trumpster and his enablers would like nothing better than to model the country on Putin's mafia-state organizational chart, a world-wide network of greed, money-ladndering, drugs, arms, human trafficking, all sorts of bottom-feeding stuff. Trump's enablers, GOP leadership supporters, certain media plants, members of our own government--sadly, this is likely both sides of the aisle--were and are in on the scheme, took gobs of money, allowed themselves to be compromised, sold their souls while they sold the rest of us out.

Color me an optimist, but I think these will be the stories of 2018-2019 and beyond. It's why the messaging out of the Trumpster and his entourage have become increasingly shrill. The walls are closing in. Of course, there's a danger in cornering a deranged animal and that's what Trump is at the moment.

As a country we've been damaged by these traitors. But we aren't dead yet.

2018 or bust!
