The corruption, incompetence, and negligence of the Bush administration led to the avoidable deaths of over 10,000 American citizens, countless foreign nationals, the rise of organized Muslim military extremism, AND the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.

When Obama took over, I never bought into his Hope & Change bullshit, he looked like just another neolib placeholder President, meant to fill in between destructive Republicans presidencies. That was the role of EVERY Democratic president since LBJ, the last warrior Democrat, and that's the role that Obama filled.

I said at the time, that if Obama didn't aggressively punish the crimes of the Bush administration, the Republicans would view it as extreme weakness, and pounce. Republicans are feral, and they operate like wild animals. If their natural tendency for chaos isn't controlled, the next Republican administration would be even worse.

Despite that, even I was surprised at how bad MAGA became.

Remember when Obama continued committing war crimes like he was the 3rd and 4th terms of the bush administration? It was in his best interest not to prosecute, the precedence would have been inconvenient for him.

Because no one cares about Pam Bondi, but the American people care about the Epstein files

Who's going to defend her? She made the administration look bad while also pissing off the public

The only thing the military should be doing is locking up the administration for crimes against humanity

So obviously both sides are the same.

I hope if I'm ever in the papers for defying the law, abandoning my morals and doing some that will be remembered with scorn through all of history, it will be for something like assassinating someone I learn from a time traveler will become the next genocidal scourge to humanity.

Not, you know... helping a kid rapist get away with raping kids.

Trump and his cronies need to be removed from the office, not prosecuted. Not because a part of the population strongly disagrees with his policies, but simply because he has been blatantly disregarding the constitution. And if you think "only the supreme court can decide if that's true" I'm sorry but you're wrong, you only need a brain. You don't need a conviction to know that he is a paedophile and has something weird going on with Putin, you just need your eyes and ears. The epstein files have now been released, clearly implicating him, yet people still seem to be waiting for "the official thing" and crying about the redactions. I understand that he "allegedly" is an Epstein associate until he's convicted, but dear Americans please remember that being found guilty of something is not the same as being guilty of something. You can be one without the other. You can be reasonably certain someone did something based on the evidence you've seen. Judges are not superhuman, and especially if they're complicit, how can you rely on them to stop the injustice?

This really is not a call for violence. I do not care how you stop Trump from hurting the USA and the rest of the world, but it does need to happen, and You The People are the only ones who can make it happen. It is your duty and your right to resist tyranny, isn't it? I hope new "political" figures can rise soon and accomplish that with nothing but charisma and a spine, but at the very least, please stop being so defeatist towards the lack of consequences.

Disbarred and indicted is a very real possibility for a Trump associated lawyer. I lost count how many times that happened

Get involved in your community. Learn who runs your town, your county, your school district, your state.

Find out who represents what, spend a few hours a week reading and sharing info on local/neighborhood social media, volunteer if you really have the time and drive to make changes. Even just hold a yard sale and get to know your neighbors if you live in that kind of environment.

The reason nobody is paying attention to the law is we stopped paying attention to the people who are supposed to uphold it. We only tune in every 4 years when the circus comes to town, meanwhile the entire fetid clownshow is propped up on a foundation of local representatives and judges and boards of people who largely run uncontested or are installed by companies, not groups of people.

They are leveraging our short attention spans to vote in people who will favor corporate interests over law, and those corporations? they will work harder to erode our attention even further. We can fix this, but it has to start at home.

Only until her actions and existence becomes inconvenient, then she will find out that people she so blindly defends don't have her back as much.

The leopards are licking their lips

I'd rather see her be subject to the rule of law, or even vigilanteism, before I wanted to see the government doing still more blatantly illegal shit.

But a President cannot pardon impeachment cases.

If the democratic leadership and MAGA keep things like this, harder voting will become inevitable. The kind that is leaden in nature.
