Foreign Relations Committee Passes Measure To Repeal AUMF

The erosion of America began in earnest with the fight to re-establish the federal reserve, the failure of the public to debate the issues thoroughly allowed for the income tax ruling of 1913, then came the anomaly of prohibition which eroded the faith in public servants and service which allowed for the unstoppable galloping runaway market of 1929.  Then onto the fear of public intelligence to apprehend the foreign policy situation of the late 1930s which made Pearl Harbor the easy way out, the necessities of the war gave rise to the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower witnessed and feared/warned us about.  There is a through-line that went from the Kennedy assassinations to Nixon's violations that empowered the rightwing breaches of faith displayed in "The Project for the New American Century", where there was a desire to have an American "Constabulary" sit astride the world without any accountability therefore. 

Because we are not without competition in the world, Russian intelligence learned of the intractability of our White Supremacy problems exposed in the aftermath of the 911.  The "F..I.R.E." went wild with mortgage "obligations" as tradeable securities and we were off to the races with the 2008 market lock-up. Putin got a grasp of our problems and sought to use them to destroy America's freedoms by helping an insecure, ignorant, despotic megalomaniac white supremacist President take office who then took full advantage of our honor system's lack of protections against an unexpected anti-American chief executive.   Now we're in serious trouble with our nation's Constitution hanging by a very slim thread.  It's a toss-up that we survive this if our elected officials cannot cross the aisle to defend our Constitution. (I leave out a lot for the sake of brevity but you're probably aware of what's being left out)
