The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it.

Contemptible & pathetic.

See us rock. I mean, if you're in the california bay area. Otherwise, it'll just have to be wishful thinking.

Elon fucking Musk does NOT appropriate federal funds.
That is the job of CONGRESS.
Not some foreign born private citizen jumping bean exploding penis rocket car melting nepo-baby conspiracy theorist womanizer who exchanges horses for handjobs.

Congress needs to stand the fuck up. All of them!!!
