I think it's very disturbing to think that we were just this election away from having our republic, privacy and freedoms very threatened by the most corrupt and dishonest bunch of political hacks in the country.
I think the "election" year we lost our republic was back in '08
When it started is really hard to say.. as the erosion has been going on since probably before our country formally existed when key elements of the Declaration of Independence were ignored and not codified in our constitution.
This last chapter started on Sept 11th or Nov. 25th 2002. when the circumstances and laws came into effect and the homeland security came into existence. All the infrastructure was already in place, it was just the separation and law that kept them from "talking" to each other and colluding towards a total police state.
Now we have another behemoth running "17" intel agencies, law enforcement, the executive, and about everything else behind closed doors and secrecy.
With the ouster of Flynn we should already realize that election that is just coming up already passed.
As we watch if Trump gets destroyed by the "goverment" and the Media, we will know the true extent and if one man can make a difference against these powerful unaccountable bureaucrats come back in line.
I doubt it now.. When there is such a concerted effort by the "goverment" and media to destroy a campaign exists it is already to late
When there is such a concerted effort by the "goverment" and media to destroy a elected presidents transition to power,
and now When there is such a concerted effort by the "goverment" and media to destroy the presidency itself.. it is to late.
To sum it up,.. that ship sailed,.. that train came and passed.. that next election and next chapter might be already cooked into the cooks.. :cry2:

WE have NO real privacy or freedom any longer.
Comey said that "there is no such thing as absolute privacy in America." He added that everything Americans engage in, including conversations with members of the clergy and their attorneys, live within "judicial reach."

forty five seconds that should be chilling to every freedom loving American.
