My big fear is this distracting chaos will leave the door open to another big terror attack

[Siwsan]

Everyone is watching the nightmare enfolding in the administration. Embassy positions remain vacant. So many governmental positions are still unfilled. The agencies designed to protect us are being distracted, defending themselves from attacks by the so-called CinC and are also focused on Russia.

And now toss Bolton into the mix. I put nothing past him. He'd do most anything to trigger his catastrophic fantasies of war, war and more war.

I used to hope that trump* would be gone by December. Now I fear it might be us.

1. Terrorists would be stupid to act right now

Our country is weakening by the day, with massive divisiveness and chaos.

A terrorist attack, much like 9/11, could result in the country unifying...even temporarily. The last thing the terrorists want.

When your enemy is busy destroying itself, you get out of the way.

3. Good point. I'll put down the bourbon bottle

I admit I am spiraling really bad, right now. I'm heading out into the sunshine for some much needed brightness.

2. The attack I worry most about is the Russian attack on our elections this fall.

We know it's coming, but I don't see that much is being done to stop it.

4. That is a constant worry, and has been for over a year, now

I'm so tired of feeling like I'm suffocating.

7. That or "Lights out"

Russia has it's thumb on the kill switch for our power grid. This is the most terrifying threat to the nation.
I highly recommend you read Ted Koppel's book Lights Out.
This is very real and very scary stuff. In his book, Koppel and the many of experts he interviews warn that it is not a matter of if but when our power grid goes down.

5. Sad to say, but I am a bit surprised something hasn't happened alreeady, but glad it hasn't.

Maybe those evil, deep state intelligence agencies have been doing more than just being mean to President Whineypants.

6. That's our only hope, IMHO

I am so in need of some good news about SOMETHING!

8. I'm beginning to think our world isn't as dangerous

as the war profiteers make it out to be.

9. It scares me too

That they'll allow putin to cyber attack us to then blame others for it , like Iran. Notice he says nothing about it, ever. Now the charges against Iran for cyber crimes?
