Since I was young, Russia was always, if not our enemy, at least the antithesis to the American beliefs of freedom of speech, religion and political affiliation.
It seems that years ago the GOP, in their greed, invited Russian oligarchs to subversively take over America.

Ladies. Please spread the word!
1) DO NOT USE any period tracking software or gadgets. They are being used for surveillance so can prosecute abortions (Thiel).
2) HB 7 in Texas: If you’re raped, get an abortion and your rapist finds out. He can now sue you for cash ⬇️

Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.
They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.
They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.
There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

Ahem. It's the job of the President to appoint DAs - with advice and consent from the Senate.
The President can ignore that rule - but only once (per district) and only for 120 days.
Do you know who appoints DAs after the 120 day mark has passed?
Pam Bondi doesn't. Because it's the judiciary.

There is more to this than the obvious corruption. I suspect it is the latest attempt to withhold the incriminating Epstein files. If DOJ has an open, ongoing investigation into Epstein again, it can use that fact as a pretext for withholding any documents, lest it undermine the case. So shady.

On Oct 30, the Justice Dept was ordered to explain why it "sealed" (pulled down) its orginial sentencing memo in the case of Taylor Taranto. The original memo cited January 6 & the mob attack on Capitol
Justice Dept didn't do as ordered by the deadline. Judge now say he wants explanation by Nov 19

Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
