This is a cautionary tale. We tried to tell them. Now we know what has to be changed and what has to be protected, but at the same time, so much damage has been done. We need new laws about all of this.
i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.

Why? Because Trump has lost control of this vote...and of the story. What a pathetic way for this to end. I can think of so many things that he coulda said along the way but instead its denials and lies. They cant kill this story, so he filpped, so we wont see how many were gonna vote to release.

Here's Epstein in 2019, FOUR MONTHS BEFORE HE WAS ARRESTED, telling Bannon that Trump thinks Pence isn't loyal and wants him gone and replaced by Pompeo.

These are NOT military targets. None of them have been.
Russia launched ~430 drones & 18 missiles on Ukraine. At least 5 dead, 20+ injured, including children and a pregnant woman. Everyday we are living like this. This is not acceptable.
