No, the fate of the American people rests with the media, on whether they have the guts to fight this dance of snakes that now will be on every tv and in every media outlet for years. 
I have no confidence in Congress. They shut down President Obama's platform for eight years for a reason, to bring in this age of deregulation and wars, above all, wars. They are owned by the oligarchs and such Putinesque creatures, and will simply do the bidding of same. 
Well, I do have confidence in our Senators and in Peter Defazio. But in the long run, they probably will have little sway on so many people who have been running a long con in Congress for Obama's entire term. 
Crony Capitalism is now what it is about, and it is to the media to call that out.
