Donald Trump's favorite person?
"Me"

If Trump takes over the US Mail, is it at all likely that his interest is in controlling and monitoring communications, old school? (rhetorical)
If you've never read George Orwell's classic "1984", now is the time to do so. It seems to foreshadow the direction that we may be going.

It's demolition.

Kash Patel?!?
REALY?!!!
How do we, as citizens, get Trump and his cabal of self interested individuals, disguised as members of the Republican party, out of office? The damage is being done now. The next election will be too late to prevent the destruction of US Democracy as we know it.

Indeed.
The older I get the dimmer my hopes for the future of humanity.
Currently, I see the mis/disinformation, name-calling and downright destructive rhetoric leading up to the American election as staging for aggressive action if Trump should lose (AGAIN) despite his total unworthiness for the position.

Trump pledged revenge and retribution should he regain office. He says he will be a dictator on “day one.” He calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out.” He says the blood of our country is being poisoned.

We are far past left vs right.

Our choice is democracy our fascism.

The day AI becomes self-aware may be closer than we think. One anecdotal result does not necessarily suggest how near or far that is.
