USA under presidency of a know-nothing, neo-fascist, racist, sexist, mobbed-up narcissist!!

[Peter Lemkin]

If my reading of what Trump is now 'exploring' [finding a way to fire Mueller and then prevent further investigation of his and his family businesses; as well as giving pardons to himself and his family (not kosher, but being explored!)], then all this was never really about Trump or his family or his campaign trying to hide Trump-Russian political collusion per se, it always was about trying to hide decades of Trump-Russian MONEY floating through his and his family businesses. It seems they were mostly illegal, money-laundering type deals, US-mob and Russian-mob related, violated RICO and other laws, violate tax laws, involved many quid pro quos that were not legal and would disqualify him from being in high political office [and not in prison], etc. I think now, it is not a matter of IF, but only a matter of WHEN this is clear to all and Trump knows and fears this. [Obstruction of justice is minor compared to what he is trying to obstruct being exposed!] My greatest fear is not that he gets impeached or resigns, but that to deflect all this looking around under his covers he will find [or have suggested to him] very soon that there is really only one option he has - and that would be a Major WAR or new '911'...not the small horrible ongoing wars and occasional false-flag ops we have had under all Presidents since they killed JFK. Such a major war or false-flag op would likely 'call for' some kind of invocation of COG and/or martial law. THIS it the nightmare scenario I see coming out of Trump - and could be coming very soon. I hope I'm wrong, but his 'legal' and 'political' options are slim, and can only buy him a little time at this point. If he were to be impeached or resign he knows that the investigations would continue somewhere and he'd either go to jail or be penniless after a plea deal [and some of the unsavory people he has dealt with might try to kill him to not have their names come up]. I don't see something like the Ford pardon of Nixon, with Pence pardoning Trump for decades of money laundering and illegal and unethical business dealings. That leaves only, IMHO, the WAR/major false-flag op option. The Empire is declining faster than I thought. Again, I hope to be wrong, but given the sick state of the polity.......and his intemperate vainglorious personality.........::face.palm::

Ironically, the only good idea this administration had was better relations with Russia [a good idea and one that would make a more stable World], but it seems that was not based on any political, ethical, philosophical or idealistic premises - but to keep friendly with those who had loaned Trump money and used his properties for money-laundering, so as to not bring any of this out into the open and possibly to allow it to continue in the future. Yes, from the Democrats and much of the Intelligence community, Military, etc. one sees a kind of blind and rabid Russophobia. However, it seems clear that Trump had some unsavory business dealings and some of them involved Russians and Russian banks, etc.

It is hard to see something good coming out of this. If he resigns or is impeached we have an even worse President IMO in Pence, and the Democrats are hardly the antidote to this poison - only a slower-acting form of the same poison. Only this causing an awakening of the zombie nation from its zombiehood could possibly break the [slightly faster under the Republicans; slightly slower under the Democrats] relentless push toward a neo-fascist, oligarchic, police, surveillance, permanent-war state, which has been under construction bi-partisan since the end of WWII (and is neigh complete). Trump is not the problem (only a problem); he is resultant of where the nation has fallen to.....that two such horrible candidates were 'on offer', with their real agendas and demons/backers hidden behind the facades of propaganda, mythology, lies, vote-suppression/rigging, and worse. One only has to look at all the other branches of government on the Federal or State levels, generally; not to mention the secret/deep state structures! Most Trump-haters think Trump 'getting his' will solve most of our problems. It will only get rid of a very ugly tumor, but without a MAJOR change/restructuring outside of the current paradigms the cancer will remain and endlessly spread.

Wake up USA!...all along the watchtower, the 'hour' is very late!

Upon reflection, I left out one scenario that is also in Trump's playbook of possible options - a virtual civil war between his supporters/ultra-right-types and the left-of-center/intellectuals/anti-Trump-types/Black & Brown & immigrant people. If you haven't seen this NRA ad setting the stage for this scenario, please do. I fear that in such a scenario, most Police in most [not all] Departments would mostly join on the Trump army side, as would most of the ICE, DHS and such; including much of the oligarchy and MIC companies. Where the Military branches/individual units and Generals, and perhaps even more importantly the Intelligence community would side on this is anyone's guess - but to even go down that road would forever open wounds that would not be healed for generations - if ever. Perhaps the greatest unknown is the Deep State - which to me seems to have a branch that is pro-Trump, and another that is anti-Trump. It would be the end of the USA as we have know it [not a totally bad thing - but not the way IMO to go about doing that (with violence and neighbor killing neighbor, mass arrests and chaos)]. However it played out, at some point there would be a declaration of Martial Law and from that I do not see the USA ever recovering. This is the non-external 'threat' method of arriving at the Police State, likely with COG and suspension of the Constitution and even the semblance of rule of law. We would be re-fighting the old US Civil War in the modern context and with modern weapons and propaganda techniques. All possible scenarios would be disastrous. The least of the bad options of all of the above would be Trump resigning, taking his marbles and going home before the shit hits the fan. [Although he would still be legally liable under State prosecutions or local Federal Prosecutors for crimes committed before becoming President and some while being President - making this an unlikely option he would take].



and I repeat...

Wake up USA!...all along the watchtower, the 'hour' is very late!
