    So we all get to PAY this bitch for her committing a felony?

    JFC. I hate conservatives so very much. They are going to destroy this country.

          Yeah, my guess is that’s part of the long term GOP strategy. Implement as many bad policies as possible (that benefit Republicans) and make it almost impossible to fix in any single poltical cycle so that the dumb uneducated people once again get suckered into voting for them (the GOP) again because those “communist” democrats cant fix anything.

            Hi, welcome to the last forever.

            That has been the plan for decades and has already been carried out in every Democrat administration, helped by the token “Fetterman” of the time. It’s why everything has to be done through executive order and then the incoming Republican gets to erase all of it with the snap of a finger.

            Republicans win, immediately rush to cut taxes on the wealthy and cut regulations, start a war, deregulation affects economy, Democrats win. Democrats have an inherent disadvantage with Senate control, every vote is like 50/50 but the “Fetterman” of the time votes with R so nothing major ever happens, voters get mad, Fox News screams and cries about communism for 4 years, Republicans enter power again.

                Like the Sinemas, Manchins, and Liebermans of the past I have to imagine they don’t give one solitary fuck about what the population thinks of them, they care about how their bank account will grow.

        @aproposnix @CharlesDarwin Obama, at John Lewis’ funeral, gives the return to democracy 200 years. He got a call on his cell phone just before he was going up to speak. He found out about how the post office was trashing PO machines (he should’ve known?) and went on the warpath.

        I’ve never been able to find the quote but it was a spur of the moment thing. I watched it and I’ll never forget it.

      Ive never seen the US more destroyed than it already is… international relations are trashed, economy is trashed, the union is trashed. It’s now the Divided States of America and nearly isolated in the world. Bad time to be an American.

    Only a bit over a year into Trump presidency 2.0 and he’s already fleeced over $1.2bil directly out of government coffers and into his own back pocket, and torn down sooo many important institutions.

    I wonder what General Strike has to say about all this.
