Politics What is happening????

This is not occurring in some backwoods red-state area.
This is now happening in one of the richest counties of the US...in a very blue state.

The surge of hate is significant and profound.
Surge of hate graffiti on bathroom walls, other areas, has Maryland county rattled

 

Seems like the whole world is saying at once, "Screw It!!"
Poland, Australia, US, Britain, France, Germany...
In Poland, a window on what happens when populists come to power

Maybe I should just chill in Ibiza as a DJ for a decade or so...

 

Heard from somewhere else, too good to not share

 

Bill Perry Is Terrified. Why Aren’t You?

Nukes
This is why I'm scared living near a target area.
They will now have a guy in charge who doubles down on stupid.

I'm taking steps to get out of the way...seriously
I potentially see the Cuban Missile Crisis going the WRONG way.

 

I think more likely Pakistan with China, Russia, Iran and India's blessing, IMHO.
Plus they aren't capable of a long-range missile strike back. (to the US...I don't think Trump cares about India or Iran)
North Korea could possibly strike back at Japan, Taiwan and South Korea...all of which I think Trump has investments in...or friends do.

 

C-Span Online Broadcast Interrupted by Russian Network

OK...this is just getting fuckin' weird.

Trump National Security Adviser Called Russian Envoy Day Before Sanctions Were Imposed

And there we are AGAIN!
This is getting ridiculous...

Is this a new world order???

 

The Assault on Health and Safety Begins

I guess some people aren't as "pro-life" as they've said...

Or is it once you're here, you're on your own??

Hey...we just have to "man up" and get ready to die (or at least get sick...OR lose "a bit" of money)

*** y'know I'm all for making tons of money...definitely an ambitious capitalist...but not by hurting people (does this make me a liberal??)

 

THIS is what's happening...
Pictures From Women’s
Marches Around the World

Simply awesome...
An incredible global grassroots march movement.

Wish I could have gone.
Wonderful women, very cool.

 

How Plunging Oil Prices Are Hurting the Global Reflation Rally

I think it's going to go down to $30
They've been propping up a glut for a long time.
Now there's not enough cohesion amongst the players to keep it up.

Venezuela is a non-player now. The Saudis are transitioning to service market...and can't keep the other OPEC players from pumping.
Russia has ended up pissing off everyone, including the US (except Trump)
The US is ready to become even more of an exporter.
And the West is ready and has the tech to push further away from Oil.

It's going to be a brand new world soon (if we don't kill ourselves)
The oil powers aren't going to be pleased
They're just holding off the tide.

 

At this rate, everyone will abandon the Athabasca oil sands.

I think I have a new B-movie script Hollywood would buy...

 

American Fascism, in 1944 and Today

This is stuff I've read about in history.
I never thought I'd see it here in my lifetime...

 

And speaking of which...WTF???
Mayor of Charlottesville calls Pro-Confederate rallies 'horrific'

This is to the south of me near where my family lives... torches...dude.

Chanting "Russia is our friend"???

Are they THAT brainwashed?
Has Trump skewed them that much?

BTW...Richard Spencer who led them is the nazi (ahem alt-righter) that got punched (twice) on video

 

Tyranny is building everywhere
