Wrap that up in the self-indulgence that is our society and here we are.

I see no outrage where there should be outrage. I see no concern where there should be concern.

And the media will do all in its power to see that the public remain factually uninformed, which is pretty much what they have been doing for years.

My only hope is that their shit will actually result in a massive pushback that results in Dems taking over one house of congress in 2018 which will at least allow somewhat of a leash. But even that may be wishing for too much.
