OUR TAX dollars paying to overthrow and destroy America and Democracy to fund those criminals, and it is illegal to even touch his brave soldiers, total immunity to terrorize. What level of evil villain could come up with such a sweet deal…. For the GQP.
How stupid is this damn country. Ya don’t need a degree and decades of debt to see this is freaking sickening.
And there is no money left, (ours) to pay for health care and feeding, not raping, children.
God Bless America. Not so much.

The difference between Biden and Trump concerning the Epstein files was, Joe Biden didn't tell the DOJ what their job was.

progressive candidates. Why? Because in spite of being labled 'far left' and other crap by the mainstream corporate-owned talking heads, she and her progressive colleagues actually understand these greedheads are trying to pull of the biggest heist in human history. They get that trickle down doesn't work and want to use our tax dollars for programs that actually help us at the kitchen table.

Because right now I'm paying A LOT of federal tax and not getting a goddamned thing for my money.

Say...taxation without representation...that seems to ring a bell...

I could do without ever hearing that word again. The institutions, and the institutionalists, failed.

strongly worded letters.

And Thune is a fascist suck-up.

Both will be remembered as instrumental in ending democracy in America — unless the MAGA GOP falls apart after Trump dies and the Progressives seize the reins of power in the Democratic Party.

If the Progressives are stifled again — think Bernie Sanders in 2016 — then the Oligarchs will seize power in the resultant vacuum.
