You just don't get what's going on. This is not because tRUmp does everything wrong because he's a idiot, well he is a idiot but that's not the reason. There are a group of the GOP and their donors that believe the only way to change the government is to tear it down, destroy it and build it again with all new rules to their liking, the Kochs have been pushing a lot of this for many years. The only question I have is, do they want it to crash before or after the election.
Eric Prince has blackwater security types patrolling the streets of America for Trump and Barr, wealthy greed driven loonies, christian dominionist, fundamentalist con men. I'm aware of some of the cast of characters Captain and their true motives, even if some of them have no clue as to what drives their behavior. Murdoch, Prince and others in the "cabal" are currently the most dangerous, it's a pretty lose affiliation, they don't need a conspiracy per se, they all know what they want. Barr doesn't want to go to prison and his only way out is if Trump is elected, he is a dangerous and desperate criminal, we saw that on display at the hearing. When Trump and the GOP go down they will be running for the hills, Price was party to a conspiracy and could do life, FOX news should be fucked under existing law and regulation, bye bye, they are a public health menace and responsible for the deaths and injuries to hundreds of thousands of citizens.
Trump is an idiot, he is their leader and he is running the show not them, they are a long for the ride just like the rest of us. They try to talk sense to him and if a plan is dirty and underhanded he will be drawn to it, especially if it will "get" someone who offended him. He's stupid and cannot think well logically, make it about an enemy of his and whatever you want, you get, Donald is easy to play like that.
