    It’s not like once they find out who is a scumbag by raping children they’re going to do anything. As we can see with all the scumbags who rape children and they haven’t done anything. It’s a joke and it’s disgusting.

    High crimes for sure, yet theres not a peep from congress about their role in oversight. Crickets from Schumer and Jeffries. There hasnt been any presidential oversight under either party. Trumps is obviously a traitor who deserves impeachment at best, but the dems also failed to rise to any reasonable level of justice in pursuing the Mossad/Epstein perpetrators and their enablers and bankers-- and they tolerated Biden sponsoring war crimes too.

    Bringing in the Dems next election will make it less painful to live in the US on a day to day basis, but it’ll still be completely broken, and we’ll remain a government captured by the “elites” like Zuckerberg, Ellison, Musk, and Thiel, Russian oligarchs, and zionists. “Land of the free and home of the brave”, my ass.

      You nailed it. These assholes beg us for their votes and then once they get in ignore us when we beg them for change. This has been the way since the country began. It’s a complete joke.

      I think the solution is for people who aren’t on the Epstein-class payroll to run.

      The efforts they go to to make voting more difficult shows that voting is still effective. The results we’ve seen recently show that the voters want to vote for someone who actually wants to do what they want.

      How do we convince a normal person, a citizen, to give up their existence, disrupt everything, and run for office?

        There’s no chance in heck a normal person can stand up against a war chest of billions of dollars. Fundraising $5 at a time will not stand up against the endless pockets of the machine. Why even bother voting anymore. Your best bet is to just vote for your local mayor and zoning board. You have a better chance of being heard there.

          I don’t think a normal person has a great chance running for president or US senator, but what about State government? What about local government?

          This is the thing that the fascists understand. They want people they control in local government. They target school boards and county election officials. Leftists seem to only think of the federal government.

      I got tired of explaining this and other things. This was a joke in Scary Movie 2, the missing ballots. That came out in 2001.

      Why? The more these things are documented in print and distributed to the public, the better.

        I’m tired in the sense of I’m frustrated not that I’m mad about it.

        Something should have happened like 1000 news stories ago, when will accountability happen??

        I swear if democrats take congress back and we don’t start to see heads roll it’s going to have to be riots.

        Imagine if one day there was a competent government keen to prosecute the myriad of bullshit this administration has done.

          Don’t ever lose that hope. There’s already more than enough doomerism to go around, and we’ll never get anywhere without at least a little bit of hope that things can get better.

            Sorry.

            I’m not American, I lost all hope that there was a way back for the US early this year.

            I do have hope for the rest of the world, and for the youth of today.

        I think they mean the media should have been stating this shit more often as it happens and not after the dust settles… people lose interest and are distracted way too easily.

          the media should have been stating this shit more often

          So we respond by bashing the parts of the media who do actually publish it, even if they are later than ideal?

      At least they’re finally saying it. The part I don’t like is how they frame it as if it’s some new revelation that’s only now coming to light…

      Whatever they say is good to keep this topic in people’s minds. The pressure must stay on, as little as there is, for it to increase.
