It's a failed state department and intelligence coup.

There is no nice way to say it. the press was complicit, repeating "leaked" information from FBI sources. Leaked implies an accidental release of info. This was deliberate.

I'm telling you... the political power in this country was too busy stuffing it's faces in the greedy trough to be manning the helm, and while they were asleep at the wheel, dreaming about god-knows-what decadence the human mind can dream of, Trump hijacked their own propaganda arm and played them all.

Now, look at the shit we have to deal with.

Most people are "just OK" with a corrupted political system that they know is bought and paid for, so long as the cart stays upright. The cart is precariously sitting atop a heap of crap though, and the pinnacle is too narrow to support it.

It's coming down eventually.

Yecch.
