The consequences for lying us into Iraq were not only “nothing” but outright rehabilitation of Bush as a “compassionate conservative” who was part of a noble dying breed so why should anyone waste the time justifying this one

I want to once again reiterate what I said earlier. The reason the vast majority of Democratic and so-called centrist elites have acquiesced over and over again is that they are COMPLICIT. Because they actually know that direct confrontation is how you defeat fascists and choose not to do it.

“They are a progressive city, and they don’t want the president’s help. That’s on them. It’s horrific that they don’t want President Trump’s help.”

“Chicago should be begging Donald Trump for help to keep Chicago safe,” Bondi added. “Yet, they aren’t so we’re going to go into a city who wants us there.”

capitalists are not republicans or democrats, they are capitalists, & if a policy will hurt their profits they will just bribe both parties to not pursue it
