They aren't even hiding the corruption any more, the enforcement arm is mostly MAGA and if we don't do something it will get much worse.

Good people are in disadvantage in this fight :(
good people are at a disadvantage in every fight.
Are good people really good people if they make the world safe for evil people?
Maybe those aren’t good people. Just passive people.
There was a time when openly calling yourself a nazi, for example, would have gotten the shit kicked out of you. And rightfully so. Now good people just don’t respond.
I’m a little bit old, but that came with a genuine lack of shit for my own safety.
I’ve gotten into 3 solid fights in the last year with the kind of people you see in London Tommy Robinson rallies.
I really like the idea that I made this time quite shit for a couple of bald head racist dickheads.
I think they should be scared of being proud racists.
I’m as white as they come, I’m also bald, I’m also old. So it’s really difficult for them to point at me and accuse their imaginary immigrant enemy.
I hope they’re still hurting.
You know if someone wanted to cripple the US militarily and diplomaticially, MAGA is how you would do it.
Why do you think Russia is waging Cold War II and supporting MAGA? Precisely for that reason. As you probably do know, I'm not trying to educate. Just venting frustration.
Hypothetically speaking, of course. Like O. J. Simpson's book "If I Did It".
imagine how fast you'd go to jail if you just accessed information without permission.
Without buying it you mean
Fuck you, The U.S. Army! I will tell China whatever I damn want to! They're MY secrets! I bought them fair and square! Here's my receipt!
State secret x6 $100,000.00
Subtotal $600,000.00
I'll buy all the secret papers in the Epstein files for public release, thanks.
People don't get this but the entire classification system is done under the authority of the president. Legally, the president alone decides what is and isn't classified. Of course one person can't do that so he delegates that authority to thousands of people under him. But it's literally impossible for the president to mishandle classified information because he's the sole authority on it. If he goes on TV and start spilling Top Secret info, that just means he has decided to unclassify that info and that's his right and no one can do anything to stop him.
It's just... never been a issue before.
Wow that’s wrong. Yes he can declassify documents. You can’t sell secrets.
See when you declassify something it no longer has value as a secret because everyone has access.
So what trump did before and plans to do now is take classified files and sell them while they are still classified.
That’s illegal. He can declassify stuff, but you have to actually say it declassified.
You can’t keep it classified and say “well I have the power to declassify things”
I have the power to drive the correct speed in the school zone. That doesn’t mean all speeds I drive are therefore legal.
This means, somewhere, there is already a post by trump selling secrets on ebay i am sure
Welp, this is the end my friends.
If they’re saying this out loud, you know they’ve been selling secrets privately for years – long enough that this doesn’t sound insane to them. It’s the logical next step. This is just an admission that everyone with money has been spanking the US with impunity. I mean, we knew that, but this is them admitting it openly.
We knew when there was the pile of documents at Mar-a-Lago.
Yes, and not just the documents – people miss that one of the rooms had nothing but stacks of boxes containing top secret documents and one office copier. Nothing else.
This one:

All those boxes are classified documents, and the white thing at the right is a copier. Nothing else in there.
Everyone talks about the toilet one or the ballroom one as though the issue was mishandling. No, the worst one was this room, with a copier, and this was the room they had locked and tried to keep the FBI out by saying it was flooded by the pool and the maintenance guy had lost the keys. Do you see any water damage in there? Remember that lie?
e: link, and I just remembered that the reason we have this photo is the FBI didn’t buy his excuses and stationed an agent outside the door so trump goons couldn’t tamper with the evidence until they opened it under court order, which was like a week or something. That whole thing was crazy.
I mean, it's the Trump DOJ. They will break the law and won't say anything about it unless someone else brings it up.
Claiming to be the most transparent president ever...
It's so obviously transparent, it doesn't even have to be mentioned how bad it actually is. Perhaps a recurring reminder that it's yet again worse then we previously thought.
Free market capitalism baby. Why should Putin have a monopoly on state secrets? Open that shit up for bidding on the free market.
Can I sell Trump on eBay?
