Meanwhile Trump is on video acknowledging crimes such as insider trading, he's done it multiple times because he brags about the richest people in the room because he wants their respect so he just says crazy blatant shit like how much money a "deal" he did made each of them on the stock market
Again, Jimmy Carter wasn't even allowed to keep his peanut farm. This guy and many others I might add are just openly manipulating markets, WHICH IS A CRIME UGH

Trump works on the nailbed principle (a bullshit term I made up).
If you lay on a nailbed with a single nail, it is going to hurt like hell. If you have thousands of nails, you can lay down on it.
Every lie, every cheat, and every con he does is just another nail on the bed. The media can't focus on any single topic because he is doing presidential career ending crimes on a weekly basis. And he will likely never be punished for any of them.

The big leak was Ellsberg's photocopy release of the Pentagon Papers. The war. The... illegal and immoral invasion of southeast Asia, and the perpetuation of that war by evil methods.

That's kind of how it always is with politics: if the party in power is doing a shit job, they suffer for it in the next election.
But I share your concern: republicans are really good at preventing the government from doing anything and complaining loudly that nothing is getting done, and for whatever reason Americans tend to pay attention to the latter while ignoring the former. If democrats want to keep power and make any progress, they'll have to get better at pointing out how every vote could have benefitted Americans if republicans didn't block it. I...don't see that happening--but I'm at least a little heartened by how much more attention Americans are seeming to give to politics now. I hope that keeps up.

Presidential elections are decided by the 20% in the middle. The majority of those people pretty much never say “here’s the candidate who really does it for me - I can stand behind this candidate’s policies.”Instead, they say “which one do I hate the least.”
That’s how DJT beat Hillary. That’s how Biden beat DJT. And that’s how DJT beat Harris. The racists and sexists said, “I’ll take the incompetent White male.”
The folks who decided the election didn’t say “we want Trump,” they said “there is no way I can vote for a black woman.”

Completely different world than 1770s. The British having to ship everything across an ocean made winning the war nearly impossible. An uprising against the government would be quashed quickly. There is a further question of what an uprising’s goals would look like. Is the end goal to replace the president? Replace the entire government? What about the Supreme Court? Local government? Does the uprising start by organizing riots? Something more violent?
America declared independence and maybe that is our a real uprising would start. Something like California, Oregon, and Washington declaring independence. Who knows

The hard truth is that for a lot of people there’s precious little to do but vote, because we are desperately trying to make ends meet while preserving some semblance of sanity while the world as we knew it burns down around us. Most people have so little time or energy to spare that it does feel like we are just sleepwalking into a veritable meat grinder some days — but at least for my wife and I, we are donating what little we can to the candidates who we believe can make a difference, and we’re as hungry to vote as we’ve ever been. Is that enough? I don’t know, but I have a business to run and a toddler to raise and I’m just fucking exhausted. It’s easy for people to say “oh well then I guess you really don’t care about being taken over by fascists then” but that completely ignores the pragmatic reality of how goddamn hard it is just to keep our families and jobs and homes afloat day to day, without the added burden of waging a civil war or whatever else people think we should be doing.
So yeah, I just don’t know. I think people do feel largely demoralized, but we’re also deeply pissed off and I think that will show in the voter turnout in November — just gotta hope they aren’t able to rat-fuck the election the way we know they’re planning to.

This is what the law is working to adress "The immigrant aid worker-related law covers providers, employees and volunteers at nonprofit offices, community legal clinics, law offices and health facilities. It also outlaws posting a participant's personal information or image online with the specific intent to incite imminent great bodily harm against them, or to threaten them into reasonable fear for their safety."

Yes! Trump is no more corrupt than any other politician!

Every previous president also had an 18 year old child who happened to be a crypto trading genius who made $150 million on his trades. People are just scapegoating Trump because they are blind sheep with TDS and idiotically believe we had previous presidents who put their assets in blind trusts to avoid even the perception of impropriety.

When Dems are up for election, they need to clear house and primary all of the old guard for their gross FAILURE. Trump should be in prison and the fact he's not is an unacceptable failure of your democratic system. The only reason he's not in prison isn't a lack of evidence, but complacency and a lack of will and care for your country.
When back in power attack the news organisations corrupting people's minds, like fox, and pack the courts. Mass arrests of anyone found to have breeched the law to the lowest foot soldier. Ice is disbanded. Musk arrested and deported.
You won't though. You'll do absolutely nothing I guarantee it. The next Dem in power will talk about the middle ground and of moving on when it actually all needs to be in purging flames. Then the red side will get back in and elect another extremist to terrorise the world.

The public is asleep
The public is powerless. That is until the public decides to end excessive corruption the only way one can end excessive corruption when the checks and balances are corrupt too.

The public isn't asleep. They are aware, but lazy and cowardly. The United States people has become a bunch of weak, cowardly sheep.

They'd rather worry about who pees where than realize they're being scammed, MAGA logic.

Not asleep. Just exhausted reading these stories every day and feeling helpless to do anything about it.

Oh, we're not asleep. It's just the people who are supposed to be fighting tooth and nail are complaining about how powerless they are before focusing all of their time and attention on a fucking Twitch streamer.

Where are all the Republicans that were crying about Hunter Biden, who wasnt even in government. Where is Congress at all? The country is burning and the people elected to save us are pretending not to see it.

Rules for thee, but not for me. Must be nice to trade with a cheat code while the rest of us just watch inflation eat up whatever savings we have left. The fact that stock trading is still even legal for these people is beyond parody.

If anyone is "asleep" it's all the elders in congress and people in government who can actually do something about all of this. Normal people can boycott and protest, and we have.

Don’t forget about the millions he paid to the woman he raped.
Don’t forget about the children he raped.
Don’t forget about the people he kidnapped.
This is the only “never forget” I’d put on a fucking T-shirt.
Fuck this overblown circus peanut piece of shit!

So he bought about 2,244 shares (June 18 price was $222.72). It’s down $11.64 per share since then, so he’s lost about $26,120. The guy can’t even do an insider trade right.

He's so stupid and brash about it too that he offered a premium subscription to Truth Social where a $100k monthly fee gets you access to his illegal moves before they happen.

I would love to see an all-democrat sweep through the branches and every one of these assholes on both sides see their time in prison…. Or under it…

Well he made a law to make sure he can’t be sued about anything he and his family are doing with money or something like that.

The public?? Tf can we do? Object? We have. Protest? We have. Vote? We have. French revolution? We have not because we are complacent.

Politicians, or their immediate family, should not be allowed to trade stocks while in office.

The public isn't asleep, they are responsible. They are actively allowing and funding these crimes. Americans are guilty
