The false dichotomy between liking cats and liking dogs is silly. I adore both.
I always wonder what people who only like dogs can’t stomach about cats. Is it their boundaries? Their refusal to be truly subjugated?
Kinda strikes me as a problem in a person.

When WV statehood was on the ballot armed Union soldiers had a visible presence in the southern part of the proposed new state because it was in the middle of the Civil War and Confederate sympathizers would do anything they could to disrupt an election, much like today's confederate sympathizers.

Look everyone, for now no one in the Trump administration will be held accountable, no one will be investigated for their corruption or their treason, no one will stop their stealing and their taking of bribes.
The only way this stops is a massive Democratic victory in 2026. That's it.

If this is our government's position, then why not release ALL THE FILES?
There is an overwhelming amount of evidence being ignored here, including affidavits signed as sworn testimony under oath by the victims and pictures not yet released.
When are we going to start believing the victims?

I'm not really prepared for the media to keep going on about all these crimes without someone actually getting charged for something. Otherwise it's just gratuitous and not helpful at all for the women who were abused.

What strategies have Democrats considered to prevent Donald Trump from stealing ANOTHER election this November?
It’s clear he’s not opposed to use DNI, FBI, ICE and other government agencies to cheat.
If their goal is restoring DEMOCRACY, isn’t protecting our safety as we vote the TOP priority?

Epstein was in and out of Russia every few months according to his travel documents, but Mandelson was partying in nightclubs in St Petersburg and regularly in Moscow.
How did our intelligence services fail to pick this up? Or were their reports and investigations suppressed?
