Oh, but they will. Because they're all about norms. They'll defend the actions of the DoJ. To preseve the institution.

I'm saying that NO ONE from this administration will EVER be held accountable for two reasons:
1. TACO 45 will pardon everyone on his way out.
2. Democrats are "look forward, not backwards" fucking idiots.

They do. They also know that he can be bribed easily. Unfortunately, Ukraine has fewer means, and NATO is basically toothless. They do not want a war with Putin.
Remember when his drones invaded Poland? They were so angry that they invoked Article IV. And... nothing.

Zelenskyy is done. There is likely no military support from US going forward, and one of those airstrikes will eventually get him. I cannot see him lasting three years.

Nothing to dodge with Epstein. Nothing he has done with Epstein can remotely even touch him.
