Past is prologue.
In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.
And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.
This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

If anyone is unclear on why white nationalist christo-fascist trump loving Republicans don't want Jeffrey Epstein investigated, it's because they are also serial pedophile abusers. A harem of 14 year old wives/sex slaves is what all these sick fucks want.
A youth pastor in Missouri was arrested for sexually abusing a minor since 2023.
Donald Axtell, 37, was charged with statutory rape, statutory sodomy, furnishing pornographic material to a minor, and possession of child pornography.

When did pedophilia become a partisan issue?
The American people deserve to know the full truth about Jeffrey Epstein and every powerful person who enabled him.

The US doesn't have a Health Care System, it has an Insurance Dictatorship. The reason no political party can come up with any alternatives to this morass is they are owned by Big Insurance and Big Pharma.
Insurance companies aren’t just players in the fight with doctors over money; they’re also the referees.
They produce their own guidelines on when to pay claims. If a doctor appeals a denial, insurers make all the initial decisions.

Likely NYT election coverage today- "Reporting from West Texas, we check in with white men age 70+ on how the Democratic Party is failing local oil barons"
Perhaps the NYT should run some articles about how the Republicans need to listen to the concerns of ordinary Democratic voters.
