58. It isn't just about him

Sun Mar 24, 2019, 10:48 PM

Mar 2019

it is about the fact that right wingers get away with it 99% of the time! It doesn't fucking matter what they do, they get a slap on the wrist at most, but more often, zero consequences beyond getting richer....and amassing more power.

Meanwhile, our leaders, the ones we elected, "take the high road"...."keep their powder dry"....and kick the can farther up the road, but nothing ever changes.

Yes, we had Obama and that was good, but now we have an even worse criminal than W/Cheney and he will most likely get off scot free as well...

"Hair on fire"? Really? How about just so disgusted with what will probably be another "whoops, we're criminals, nothing to see here though, nothing you can do about it!" situation.

Remember: impeachment is off the table, but oligarchs seeing that our elections go the way they want them to isn't.

Why is my hair on fire? Because I have one fucking vote and that is the extent of any power I have.
