I worry that Russia enabled by the GOP will shut our power off....literally...our electricity..

I worry that Russia enabled by the GOP will shut our power off....literally...our electricity. What is keeping us going? The print media, some TV media, communication....places like this....A couple short years ago we never would have believed they would steal an American election and folks would be so dumb to elect this Vulgarian.

So Mueller gets it all, and then BAM....we are in the dark. Forgive me if I sound pessimistic, I live in Wisconsin and we have lived in the dark for 8 years now.

I read an article several years ago that said WWlll would be fought in cyber space and instead of bombs being dropped or shots fired, the goal would be to disable communications and disrupt power, making it possible for the winner to simply take over all vital resources and install their armies at all strategic locations.

Sounded a little farfetched at the time, but I'm beginning think differently.

What if they installed back doors and will trigger them all in unison just to cause chaos here?

Putin is still fighting the Cold War and we should still be defending ourselves accordingly.

At that moment it will be Trump who? Who will be hiding in a closet with a flashlight.
