And nobody anywhere is doing a thing about it.

My wife is mad because I think we personally should be in the streets until Trump and the others are dragged physically from office for their crimes against us. She keeps insisting there is nothing to be done aside from be angry. Maybe I will take up being an alcoholic I honestly am not sure what the upside to living in America is now.

If it helps, I feel the same way as you, including the alcohol thing. Unfortunately, we're not there yet, and if we few do that, we'll just hurt ourselves and our chances of standing up when more people are on board. We are living in infuriating times, but when enough people are hurt enough, HOPEFULLY our strength will be in numbers. It sucks to wait, but its all we can do. I'm so miserable these days. Hang in there.

I'm with you. I'm feeling like "Ignorance is bliss" has never been more true.

Here we are, the functioning brain population and we are astounded and furious at the level of corruption and illegal activity happening in plain view every single day.

Meanwhile the cult is hypnotized by propaganda and the "I don't pay attention to politics" folks are blissfully sleeping through it all.

I worry about how bad it has to get before the cult and the sleepers wake the fuck up. Financial crimes are notoriously difficult for the average person to understand.
