I can no longer take solace in the notion that "A majority of Americans are good people and don't want this". If a third of the voting population couldn't be bothered to vote against this, what good are they.

America's shame

What is 5.6 million to a man that was not punished at all for committing 346 million dollars worth of fraud. The threshold for felony theft is as low as 200 dollars in some states. Poor people go to jail for felony theft. Rich people commit fraud (rich theft) and remain free to become president.

My kids have measles, I lost my job, and a parasite that the CDC no longer monitors has given me explosive diarrhea. But at least now there’s no plaques honoring Black scientists at the Smithsonian.

Please show privacy and respect to Trump's ass through this difficult loss.

Trump's ass has one less set of lips on it today. Goodbye and good riddance to Lindsey Graham.

JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE EXPONENTIAL STOOPIDITY OF REPUGLICAN 'CHRISTIANS'

Trump escaping accountability isn't magic. He's not special. He just exploits the mechanisms purposely built into our legal system designed to isolate the wealthy from incarceration. It will do us no good to vote against corrupt people, if we keep allowing the system itself to remain corrupt.

Dead ppl getting snap Dead ppl voting Now we have a dead guy in the senate Only 1 of those things is true

98% of the posts on this site could be replied to with the phrase: "That will happen when you fail to hold anyone accountable for a coup and the perpetrators manage to take power."

I can't even remember what a functioning Department of justice looks like. For over a decade now, we have had an incompetent one sandwiched between two corrupt ones.

It is funny that we all know that our independence from tyranny was secured through a violent revolution but when it comes to the tyranny of the Trump administration and the threat that he is to our democracy.....violence is never the answer.

Charlie Chaplin felt so strongly about fighting nazism against Germany in 1940 that he broke his silence for the first time ever to deliver this monologue. "The Great Dictator", released that year, was the first time he had spoken in a talking role. Original post

Puzzle time!

Don’t let the story fade. Don’t let the survivors be forgotten. Release the complete Epstein files.

I get a kick out of everyone falling for the SCOTUS Mary Poppins decisions. This is the spoonful of sugar that they hope will help the medicine of their next egregious ruling go down.

98% of the posts about SCOTUS on this site could be replied to with: "That will happen when you do nothing about Justices taking bribes." We have a corrupt SCOTUS because our legal system allows it to exist. The Garland DOJ could have investigated under 18 U.S.C. § 201 but didn't even bother.

Once again, this retired Journalism professor fixes an erroneous Washington Post headline:

I'm tired of being angry all the time.

If you are complaining about the Supreme Court now but didn't care at all when Propublica exposed justices taking bribes, then you don't understand what the real problem is.

I will never understand this phenomenon of expecting dishonorable people to do honorable things. Propublica exposed SCOTUS justices taking bribes and the Garland DOJ didn't even think it worthy of an investigation. If we allow this corruption, then expect these decisions.

The common thread connecting attacks on abortion, divorce, MeToo, and feminism? They all give women agency.

Tell younger generations that the Billy Joel song "My Life" was used as the theme for Bosom Buddies, a sitcom starring Tom Hanks, whose character disguises himself as a woman to score a cheap apartment in a women-only complex, and they will not believe a word of it.

THEY SPITTIN' FACTS

I feel so bad for ProPublica. They are doing Woodward & Bernstein level reporting and nothing is coming of it. In previous times, these stories would have resulted in investigations and accountability but thanks to Biden's inept DOJ and Trump's corrupt one, nothing will ever happen.

Other countries making us look incompetent again. I have always said that I had hoped Trump would commit a crime in a country with a functioning legal system. He sure as shit will never see justice in America.

You don’t have to accept her framing wholesale to see the point: the language we use isn’t neutral, it reflects who has power to define it.

It's one thing to be given permission by your government to be hateful, cruel, bigoted, and selfish. It's quite another to accept that permission.

It's funny how Republicans revere Donald Trump and Elon Musk for being excellent businessmen who fight against government waste when neither of them were successful businessmen and only made money thanks to government waste.

My friend took his family to see the Michael Jackson movie and his son claimed it was the greatest movie he’d ever seen but I’m a real MJ fan so I don’t believe the accounts of little boys

In reality, y’all loathed Obama because you’re r*cist. We loathe Trump because he’s r*cist. Qasim Rashid

May you find someone that loves you the way the American legal system loves letting wealthy men rape children.

Elon- proof dog shit still turns white in the sun

Say it again, DL: "The one thing MAGA hates more than Black people is proof”

“We can disagree and still be friends.” Yeah. About whether a hot dog is a sandwich. Not whether some people deserve rights.

Epstein Survivors' Statement

“I can't believe what you say, because I see what you do.” ~ James Baldwin

Our Pulitzer-winning "Friends of the Court" series began with this story that revealed how SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas had, for 20+ years, been treated to undisclosed luxury vacations by real estate titan and GOP megadonor Harlan Crow. (Published April 2023)

The biggest threat the world currently faces is OLIGARCHY ⚠️ The concentration of power, wealth, and influence in the hands of a small elite will undermine democracy, deepen inequality, & distort systems meant to serve the many, not the few! Don't say you weren't warned!

NEW Today Bill Gates will be interviewed by House Oversight Committee behind closed doors with no video. The Epstein network is interviewing the Epstein network behind closed doors. I hope that helps clarify things.

This is a good time to remind people that Jeff Flake voted to confirm alleged attempted rapist Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court so I invite him to drink a tall glass of shut the fuck up.

It would be more fitting if you found out after the movie started that it was filled with baby carrots
