    Such a transparent attempt to clean [REDACTED]'s hands over the botched COVID response. “It was never the president’s fault. Fauci acted on his own and against the president’s wishes. That’s why it all went to shit.”

    Give me a break.

    I can’t believe that the federal government of the United States of America has sunk to THIS. It’s fucking TRAJIC. Yeah, there has been high level evil from the get-go, but it was mostly hidden and balanced out with actual efforts to run a decent society. There was some restraint and enough dignity to back off when public opinion dictated that they crossed a line. This sick fucking clown show is an insult to what this country stood for.

      I’ve seen teenagers writing “eat the rich” on signs, trains, and toilet stalls all around the city. The kids will be alright

      They’re literally doing it because it’s a great look to their base.

      If they came out and announced he would be executed by electric chair for crimes against humanity, MAGA would cream themselves. It would be paraded as the biggest win ever, and they’d be tripping over themselves to watch.

      We’re being held captive by the dumbest of us all being manipulated by the rich. It has to end.

        Precedent is utterly meaningless. Remember when placing a supreme court nominee the year before an a election would be Obama bias, and then the same exact people rammed through a placement literally while voting was happening?

        Precident doesn’t mean shit. Whoever is in power will just do what they want.
