I am in my mid 60’s and remember Watergate quite well. What our country is now going through now is beginning to feel much worse. Nixon was a fascist pig but I never felt he was a traitor. Trump, whether it is because of sexual indiscretions or for monetary reasons, is.
There was an article in Politicususa today stating that our intelligence agency chiefs feel that a cyber attack on the US is coming in the not to distant future. I have the unfortunate habit of imagining worse case scenarios. There has been much speculation that Mueller is going to try to finish most of his investigation by September. Currently there is a 50 percent or better chance of the Democrats taking over the House. If Mueller’s results are anywhere as damning to Trump as most of us hope and believe, our Blue wave may take on Biblical proportions. Under normal circumstances this would be a great outcome. However, what happens if a massive cyber attack occurs right before or during Election Day forcing all results to be suspect. What would happen if Trump declared an emergency and tried to take dictatorial powers by declaring the election results, if they don’t favor him, null and void? Would the current republican members of Congress do anything especially if it meant a good chunk of them would lose their jobs? Would the Supreme Court, especially given its prospective make up do anything? Would the intelligence agencies or the military step in and temporarily take over?
I know this rant is terribly depressing. I don’t know why I am even bothering to write it. I am in still reasonably good health and remember marching against Vietnam so many years ago. I would gladly march against Trump, as I have already done, again. I also, unfortunately remember Kent State and firmly believe Trump wouldn’t care if his own survival was at stake.
Is their an alternate scenario that is more realistic?
