It's coming

The inflection point we have dreaded is coming I feel.

I honestly think he will declare martial law nationally and outlaw the Democratic Party
in his announcement tomorrow at the same time he announces his invasion of Venezuela.

I don't know where we all go from what is coming but there is absolutely nothing I can about it. All I can do is hope for the best and hope I'm wrong.

The billionaires want their personal city-state nations and they don't want to follow any rules or worry about governments in Central or South America telling them "no".
They don't want anymore interference from Congress or courts or protestors. They are betting on people folding and following orders. I believe that was the strategy in all that suing and bullying of businesses, press and universities. They are priming the pump as it were.
I truly hope Im wrong but I won't be surprised if I'm right.

But I believe that he will want a more specific excuse to do the other thing.

People will freak out. Protests will be unchained. It will be absolute chaos in some places.
Venezuela is the catalyst for it all

I really believe that even in his current state of mind that he can read the room well enough to
know that dog will not hunt. I have absolutely detested this asshole since his divorce from Ivana.
I do not consider myself to be an expert in marriage or divorce, but my parents did try to teach me
that it was better to end a marriage the same way they generally start, as friends, especially if kids
are involved. I have known quite a few a__holes in my life, but in my eyes, he is lower than the lowest
of the low.

People say they are tired of listening to this ignorant SOB for the last decade. I have been tired of
listening to him since the 90s. I never watched his BS show and really wished the media had not
covered his Obama birther BS or any other effing thing he ever let loose thru his vapid pie-hole.

Sorry to rant and rave, but I really will be glad when I see this MFer dead, because it will hopefully
save a lot of needless suffering. As far as I am concerned, you can write on his tombstone "THE
WORLD WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF IF HE HAD NOT BEEN BORN .........WHAT AN ASSHOLE!!!!".

And I honestly dont believe anybody honestly believes that.
If he declares anything it will be that his head
is still firmly up his ass and he likes it like that.

We have absolutely no way to predict what shape the inflection will take or how severe it will be, and what form it will take locally. Hoping for the best may be our best hope now. Sorry to sound like a fatalistic doomer, but that's pretty much what I am.

I hope you're wrong too.
But you're not.
Look around. This is the future we were waiting for.

will NOT listen to his bullshit and lies again. I will wait for the aftershock of what this ding dong will say. And even then, I will only read about it. I suspect he will be a total disaster, as he has been in the recent past. Rambling on about nothing. Besides, I cannot listen to his voice any more, especially when you know it's going be be nothing but hate, lies and revenge. I heard it's going to be how well he has been in the past 11 months , and how he is going to change the world in the next 3 years. This should be quite the clusterf**k and a waste of time.
