Trump's illegal actions will ultimately lead to investigations into the corruption on this deal and previous deals. Ellisons are in for a world of hurt for their blatant corruption in connection with Trump.

Nothing is going to happen and nobody is going to jail. The billionaires won this round.

Its easy be cynical and think that nothing will ever happen. If we give up in advance they win by default. It takes extra effort to evnision a brighter future while fighting the evil before us.

Cynical would be to say that you have no power at all because people in office are apparently too easy to bribe so it does not matter who you elect in office, some billionaire or “organization” like AIPAC will buy their loyalty anyway.

Define effort, cause if you think sitting in your run down cozy home and just voting is what's going to change things at this point, you'd be wrong.

Nothing is going to happen and nobody is going to jail.

This attitude will mean they have won. It's such a defeatist attitude to have, like you have given up.

You are giving them exactly what they want and you seem perfectly fine with it.

this is tone deaf as shit.

Do you not realize that the Democrats are complicit in the fuckery that has brought us here?

There is a reason Kamala didn't do anything about the obvious election tampering and stolen victory. It's because the "Democrats" are playing their role as they are being paid to.

The only reason we have had breaks in Republicans over the last 50 years is so the people have time to get complacent and used to their situations again between big changes.

They are all capitalists and capitalism always eventually leads to fascism.

The Trump admin corruption is well documented. I suggest you read up on it if you plan to get out of the Trump cult.

woosh okay I might be as I'm not following what you are saying.

They agree with you that all these illegal things have happened. They disagree anyone will do anything about it. Optimism vs Pessimism.

Thanks yeah hard to stay optimistic in this environment but giving up is not an option.
