      they are going to hold trump to account… and by that i mean they are going to have never ending hearings as a giant circus, so they can do mostly the same things the republicans do with everyone distracted. but trump will never see prison time, neither will any of his people. ultimately they answer to the same people.

      and then the next election they will claim it’s not the time for change, because the republican canidate would be the worse person ever, so they need to field more centrist democrats. and all the rightward slide we have suffered through will be solidified under their rule. just like last time

        Remember Operation Paperclip? America imported Nazi scientists post World War II after we made a big show of punishing them in the Nuremberg tribunals, but that’s all it was, a show.

        Actually thinking even more recently, Merrick Garland endlessly delayed trying Trump for his endless crimes during Biden’s time in office, then the Supreme Court ruled that the president essentially has unlimited power, so long as it’s a vaguely defined “official act” (and as long as it’s a Republican president).

          Do you think the issues were because of the government being bad at money? Ignoring the constant sabotage by republicans/corporations then lack of fixes from dems?

          Usps got fucked by Republicans requirements to fully fund pensions at once then an actual person (who Biden did nothing about) from shipping companies appointed to fuck it over.

          Amtrak is both under funded and screwed by this countries refusal to do anything good with rail. On just about every line they are the lowest priority because the country won’t build new lines as they have to run on rails owned by freight companies
