The abuser’s classic playbook is to isolate you from your friends, create a sense of helplessness, make it difficult to connect with others and force you to simply think about your survival from one day to the next. We are seeing that playbook applied to the nation as a whole.

In the 2015 year report the USDA-APHIS website records show a cattle death loss in the state of Idaho of over 41,000, 29,000 of which died of what amounts to neglect, lack of food, water, shelter or fresh air.

What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
