    Fuck these people. They have a pack mentality and they were told there would be blood. The current administration should not have waited so long to file charges. They gave them a ton of time to turn what should have been a mostly bipartisan issue into a crybaby victim story of political persecution. Our current government did nothing to prevent this and in most cases seemed to just be clearing the path.

      Comeon man, they only had 1,460 days to charge him, take him to court, sentence him, and then stick him somewhere.

      That’s only four years…

      Entirely by design. I can’t see anyone who makes it to president being willing to risk even the potential of the same thing being done to them for the sake of the people they govern.

      Don’t let them confuse you, no matter how they frame it - the government does not serve you, it serves the establishment and its interests.

      That’s because they don’t want to live in a world where politicians can be held accountable. If they actually sentenced trump, then they too might be sentenced some day. But they’re going to be anyways now, and probably quite baselessly. Great job, losers!

      Yeah there’s a whole lot of “what if” scenarios going around as to what Democrats could have, should have done. But the overriding factor is this: millions of you didn’t show the fuck up to vote.

    Good thing is now that we’re in Trump’s America TM, we can all say things like “Fox news anchors deserve the death penalty” and it’s totally cool because fuck their feelings.
