This system is functioning as DESIGNED. Because one half of the Congress is corrupt & the other half is worried about how it would look to the 'world'. Ironically enough, only the corrupt president some people wanted is in a position to win.
I'm tired of Investigation after investigation without any accountability or hopeful change.
That's what I look for when I come here, but always come up empty 😟
"A. Justice Scalia Established the Practice of Accepting Gifts of Luxury Travel & Failing to Disclose It as Required by Federal Law
Scalia regularly accepted luxury travel & lodging from wealthy benefactors
failed to report the gifts ... in contravention of federal law."
Heart attack, go figure.....
They will all be official acts.

I can't even let myself think of how different things might be today if Gore had been in office - no Iraq war, probably no 9/11 & Afghanistan, a serious focus on global warming 25 years ago
Rules do not apply to Republicans.
A lack of morals & ethics is EXPECTED from Republicans…
Why do you have no standards in public life ?
This lot, tramp, gaetz ..
It's unbelievable what these people are, yet 50% voted for them ..
How , why ?
Are you All just as corrupt ?
Or gullible ?

Then Trump could appoint several new ones that are younger, like Cannon.
I feel like a doomer but it wouldn’t surprise me if Trump appoints 3 new SCOTUS judges in his second term.

No one to ask “What do we do now?”
It’s just another of many truths on USA corruption of ethics. It’s a big grift by elected & appointed.
Makes one feel like a chump for being a law-abiding citizen.

Yeah, I'm sure that Donald Trump is really going to crack down on corruption. Especially when the corrupt people are benefitting his corrupt self.
SC believes they are invincible and above the law (ironic).
Citizen's United.
Biden has acknowledged all of this. He had four years to act. He did nothing.
I’m still STUNNED my party did nothing except turn tail & run. Via Resistbot (I joined The Resistance early & lost count # of times I wrote my legislators) I fired off letters asking for #SwingStateHandCount. Nothing. I’m tired of fighting. So extremely disappointed starting out in 2025.

They’ve never been held accountable which must change
Today’s justices feel it’s normal practice a just perk of the job.
