Before the election, I was adamant that the big problem with liberals screwing around with Stein, Johnson or staying at home as a protest vote, was that if Trump and the Republicans controlled everything, we would have no power to stop the abuses. And that is where we are.

If the Democrats controlled even the house or the Senate, then they could subpoena trumps tax records and do investigations that are needed. Right now, there are no powers out there to bring Trump under control and he knows it and is playing to that. He does know how to play hardball and he knows when he is in a winning position.

He is already guilty of myriad crimes e.g. not divesting, colluding with Russia and a zillion other things and no power found to stop him, in fact the Republicans have built a wall around him to protect him.

This was so predictable, including his military adventurism. What tyrant like Trump who is drunk on power and showed his hand with regard to his intent to raise military spending etc. would not want to flex his military muscle. Everything he is doing is in complete concert with what he telegraphed before the election.

What happens, when North Korea starts sending off missile after missile, or does a nuclear test? And that Kim Jong UN is so crazy I could see him doing all of that.
