    She resigned literally the same day her pension kicked in. It’s almost like right wingers don’t actually care about protecting children.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I’m getting really tired of news articles coming out stating the obvious shit we all already have known for a really long time.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I know everyone is not surprised but I thought we already actually knew this.

    Very surprising from one of the most, if not THE most transparent and ethical administrations.

    On the bright side, we now have a hotline to call to report things like this and get money.

    That seems odd for an executive branch to do. I wonder why?
