Trump and the magats are so easy for Russia to infiltrate and manipulate. Now add in the cyptobros and Elon, and we are facing a full takeover of the US government.
I am hoping and praying that a resistance movement is forming inside the critical agencies that can hold things together until midterms.
It will be crucially important for us to hound our Republican elected representatives every time some terrible policy is proposed. They will have to face reelection with a lame duck president just about the time that the ill-effects of Trump's rule are starting to be felt. By that time, Putin should also be much more weakened.
JMO, of course. Could always be wrong.
