   This country's dead. When the Social Security checks stop flowing, the political scum will face millions of angry seniors with nothing to lose, Republicans, Democrats, and independents. I've met a few over the years. The ones who keep an arsenal in the trunk, but never exceed the speed limit, are powder kegs.

     I would limit Democrats to #EstablishmentDemocrats, but when things get ugly, who's paying attention to nuances.

     This and food inflation in particular, along with #Trump's corruption and #venal offices, is setting up to be a rerun of the #BreadRiots that sparked the #FrenchRevolution.
