It's been underway for decades. America had been an Oligarchy masquerading as a Democracy for some time. The only difference now, is that the masquerade is over.

I guess the real question is... is Trump more shameful than the country that elected him? The fact that a majority of Americans would gladly turn a blind eye to every morally reprehensible action Trump commits as long as the economy doesn't tank, tells you all you need to know.

America's guiding principle is greed. A majority of "the people" will tolerate bigotry, sexism, corruption and criminality if there is a chance that it will improve their own finances. This is a garbage country that has the government it deserves.

Biden's supporters elected him to follow the constitution. Trump's supporters elected him to destroy it. I don't understand this notion that Republicans did not want this.

If Star Wars was like America, the empire would have succeeded as long as the economy stayed good.

We need the 25th amendment for the citizens of the United States. The painful reality is, that if the economy was booming, a vast majority of the people would happily ignore the bigotry, misogyny, criminality and cruelty of Trump. Greed is the guiding principle in America and has been for decades.

They are the flies that are attracted to the enormous pile of shit that is Trump.

What is sacrilegious about a sexual abuser pretending to be the leader of an organization that sexually abused children and covered it up for decades. I don't call that sacrilegious, I call it "fitting"

It was never the economy. "The economy" is the Christian code phrase for "I hate brown people too".

Everything is a luxury for the rich and Oligarchy

Yeah Merrick Garland taught us that for four years. In his zeal to remove politics from the Department of Justice, he removed justice from it instead.

How many children have to be sexually abused before we are done with the Catholic Church? I can't wrap my head around the pass that we give religious institutions for their atrocities throughout history.

Sure citizens will be sent to prison camps but isn't everyone enjoying those cheaper concert tickets Merrick Garland fought so hard for us to have?

It is unbelievable how so many people just didn't care. I'm not so sure that they do even now.

People made the mistake of fighting us with weapons. Turns out America was just waiting to be bought like a cheap whore.

They can do that when they know their idiot supporters will believe whatever they say.

That's his human shield. He has 100 other kids and that is the only one you ever see him with.

When you are using a lie to cover another lie, contradictions are bound to occur.

He will never see American soil again. He will be able to beat witness to the atrocities in El Salvador. The administration cannot have that.

The next time some CEO spreads their bullshit about how difficult it was to layoff workers to "make the company more viable", ask how much of a pay cut the C-Suite staff offered to take to save jobs. The answer is always none.

Because the richest of the rich said so. This is how businesses are run under capitalism after all. CEOs’ pay won’t be cut but admin won’t be paid overtime, for example.

They will not bring him home. They are not going to let him come back to America to tell the tales of abuse in CECOT. He will have some sort of "accident" before they let that happen.

Holding Trump and his lackeys accountable for all their crimes jackass.

It's past time we put work requirements on their salaries, instead of them putting work requirements on Medicaid recipients.

💯 The easiest thing a person can do to confirm they are on the right side of history, is check with black women.

I'm a hard no on this. There will be no joy until the Oligarchs feel as unsafe in America as our children do in their schools.

Easy, when Democrats were in control they kept saying that Trump was an existential threat to democracy, yet they treated that threat with all the urgency of a jaywalking offense. Fast forward a little and the Trump administration is disappearing people without due process.

The people getting excited about the possibility of some kind of accountability must have had their minds wiped of the last four years. There was NO accountability when a Democrat was president, there sure as shit won't be any now.

The problem is that all the pigs in Washington get fat at the same trough. They all worship at the feet of God money.
