It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

The Dow reached a closing high of 381.17 on September 3 1929.
It wasn’t until November 23 1954 that the Dow finally closed above that 1929 level again.
A 1929-style crash and recovery starting from a 2025 peak would imply new highs in 2050.
