I believe we have crossed the Rubicon... [View all]

All this leading up to now has been the assemblage of dry tinder. Mountains and mountains of it are deposited and a match has been struck, applied to the dry linen, and the firestorm is beginning. It shall grow exponentially until the heat is so great that the atmosphere itself, metaphorically, will explode in oxygen-consuming flame. There is going to be a lot of loss. After the conflagration we will descend into a period of darkness from which it is unlikely that we will recover with what is to us, a recognizable America.

It will be a monument to lies, corruption, hypocrisy, and stupidity. The die has been cast.
