Children and misdirection

[John Eppstein]

What kind of even more horrible stuff is the administration up to while our attention is completely occupied by the horrible situation with the children? What EVEN MORE HORRIBLE stuff are they up top while we're not looking?

We aren't the people who aren't looking.

But here's something that people who aren't paying attention don't know about:

It's becoming increasingly clear to me that we're losing our country and there doesn't seem to be anything we can do about it.We can hope for Muller and November but I'm becoming increasingly pessimistic about it. Even setting aside the issue of the hacking of the electoral process and the pervasive disinformation and false-flag campaigns, the Democrats don't appear to be able to achieve enough unity to mount an effectively united campaign and various factions don't appear to be able to control themselves to desist from pushing issues that will alienate what's left of the center. There are too many splinter factions with their own agendas who are failing to keep their eye on the prize.

I really hope I'm wrong about this, but I'm very afraid of the probable future, especially since Rump appears to be hell-bent on seriously tanking the economy - this tariff thing looks very bad and may very well spark a major recession, if not an outright depression. If that happens I'm literally dead because my finances are totally wrapped up in the stock market and I'm powerless to do anything about it.

The recession ended? Since when?
