    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 duty or 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.

          If money was all-important, Hillary would have won easily. It’s not that simple.

          Don’t let them eat your hope.

          However, you are almost right about the solution. Grass roots is the way.

          Do you know why we say grass roots? Because grass grows in its millions under the hooves and pounding feet of things far bigger and more powerful, it gets stepped on every day… Yet it thrives. It survives, because its roots grow together with its neighbours and form a tough, resilient layer.

          Those big things die, and the grass eats their remains, and grows tall and green.

          It means that we people have a different power than the wealthy. We have numbers, and if we make common cause, and weave community between us, we are incredibly strong.

          Local mayor, local council, state rep, etc. Every lower office should be one of ours, and our movement should be present in the community, on the streets, helping people every day, giving them a personal reason to align with us, vote for our people, because they are their people too.

          That’s how you build a movement strong enough to take over a country from the bad guys. It’s how we always have.

          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.

    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.
