The True Enemy of The People

The past few years of chaos perpetuated by demagogue Donald Trump will feel like child's play compared to the viciousness just on the horizon.

As America nears its mid-term elections in November, and myriad troubling and controversial issues intersect, be prepared for a firestorm of incivility, vitriol that will shake our democratic foundations.

The writing on the wall got larger and bolder yesterday during a scathing attack by Republican congressmen on FBI Director Christopher Wray and Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstien, in questioning designed to discredit special council Robert Mueller's Russia-Trump probe.

The message was clear. Trump's plutocratic loyalists are amping up their game to comprise Mueller who is expected to wrap up his collusion and obstruction of justice investigation sometime this fall, before the mid-terms.

In the meantime, a separate heated battle is brewing between Democrats and Republicans on when to vote on replacing retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy -- before or after the elections.

That in itself is a distracting mess, as we learn that Kennedy's son, Justin, a Wall Street mover and shaker lent Trump $1 billion while employed with Deutsche Bank of New York.

Duestche was fined multi-millions of dollars by the federal government on a money laundering conviction just before Trump was sworn in as President.

On top of that, Vanity Fair recently reported how Russia's high-tech threats to manipulate our social media platforms and electoral systems are only escalating, with the mid-terms and 2020 elections as targets.

Connect the dots.

As the most divisive president in United States history attacks the press (as Adolph Hitler did) "as the enemy of the people" -- just days before a gunman kills five colleagues at the Capitol Gazette Newspaper in Annapolis, MD, the true "enemy of the people" has never been more plain.
