We'll probably elect someone who'll want to "look forward, not backward," and not do anything in order to "heal." Basically, no accountability like in the Obama years that's led to this.

He was Pres when Epstein was put in prison, he wished Maxwell "well," and didn't release the files in his first term, yet she voted for him?!

Considering Massie, Khanna, and the survivors know who's on the list, that won't end well. Just more evidence of the cover up.

I wouldn't be surprised if he got one. He seems to be very successful in bullying everyone. Everyone saying Harvard was fighting and that the $500 million story was made up, when it actually seems like it was true.

Nope. Remember Obama's "look forward not backward" nonsense. That was the beginning of no accountability that has led us to this.

Trump lies, he has media to lie for him, he has millions of supporters/Twitter idiots lying for him. He controls every aspect of the government and he'll get rid of this reporting and nobody will do anything about it. He's planning on running again and since he has the SC, he'll be allowed to do so.
PunkDude (@punkdude.bsky.social) reply parent
Like this will matter.

PunkDude (@punkdude.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't think any of those things are going to happen. Seems no matter how bad Trump (or Republicans) is or what he does, people still vote for him/them. There is too much RW media and the MSM always covers Dems/Repubs by downplaying Reps and criticizing Dems
PunkDude (@punkdude.bsky.social) reply parent
Great system we have here. SC Justice can commit any crime they want and get convicted but only removed by impeachment. President can't be touched either for some reason.
PunkDude (@punkdude.bsky.social) reply parent
Maybe being on trial and being convicted would put a damper on things.
PunkDude (@punkdude.bsky.social) reply parent
He's fallen off the face of the Earth. Why has no one talked to him? No MSM has had any interest in hearing what he has to say about how he failed America?

Um... They both retired. They weren't booted (yes, Sinema would've lost...) How much damaged did they do without ANY repercussions? I believe Lyndon Johnson "twisted some arms," to get his agenda done, Biden did nothing.
PunkDude (@punkdude.bsky.social) reply parent
But, but Sinema and Manchin! Look at what Repubs do when their people don't fall in line, they make their lives miserable and make them cower and end up voting with the party. Our "team" let them (S&M) criticize our side and they suffer no consequences.

She can join the club of POS spokespeople: Kayleigh McEnany & Sarah Sanders. If there was any justice in the world, these people (including Trump and everyone of the Repubs in Congress) would be facing criminal charges or lose everything they have.

Would be nice if there was a "real" remedy to lying to Congress. How about, if you lied during your confirmation hearing, you're automatically booted out. None of this 2/3 of Congress nonsense.

I think it's cuz, just like the snow forecast this past winter, "you guys" call for "6+ inches of snow or 2 inches of rain" and it ends up being nothing. Kinda the job of a weather person to be somewhat close.
