As The Pressure Ratchets Up.....

[Laxman]

we need to be prepared for backlash from Trump supporters who are being fed a constant diet of claims that this is fake news, that its the democrats, the liberal media, its all about not being able to accept the results of the election. If you have Trump loving acquaintances or relatives, you know what I'm talking about. If you've happened by Fox News, you know what I'm talking about. If you've even listened to a few minutes of right wing talk radio, you know what I'm talking about. If you've listened to Trump's apologists in Congress responding to reporters' questions, you know what I'm talking about. And of course there's Trump himself: "The Russia-Trump collusion story is a total hoax, when will this taxpayer funded charade end?" This is going to get ugly (ier) very soon.

The Russians could never have envisioned that they would disrupt our country and our political process to this degree. I'm sure they just banked on a friendlier administration and avoidance of economic sanctions-not dividing our country to this extent. They probably underestimated the blockhead factor in this country. I'm very wary of the power of Fox and the hate media outlets-we're not immune to its effects. Take caution and learn from Rwanda. The hardcore Trumpsters will never accept his removal from power as legitimate...and Fox will feed that sentiment. It's just a dressed up version of Rwanda hate radio.....Trump is going down and it's not going to be as orderly as Nixon.

I have faith in our system of government-despite evidence to the contrary, but this is about as unsettled as I have ever felt about our country.

The station was rowdy and used street language - there were disc jockeys, pop music and phone-ins. Sometimes the announcers were drunk. It was designed to appeal to the unemployed, the delinquents and the gangs of thugs in the militia. “In a largely illiterate population, the radio station soon had a very large audience who found it immensely entertaining.”

1. Just like Bin Laden, the Russians are probably shocked at how well it worked.

And no doubt some small amount of bravado-concealed fear is beginning to creep into their hearts.

They should have killed us.

4. No doubt

This is going to get a whole lot uglier. But screw the haters. There will be some that won't believe there is a problem because they are brainwashed. But our democracy is at stake and we must fight on. I am sure Russia didn't anticipate the degree of chaos that would be created. I don't think there was any way that they could have the epic clusterfuck that is happening right now but I am sure they are loving every minute of it.
