Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.

They are seeing that the end is finally coming into focus, and not only is MAGA going to be on the losing side, it's quickly becoming inevitable. And that end is going to be very, very ugly, with a lot of prison sentences, and perhaps even some death sentences.
So the slyest rats are starting to jump ship, while there is still a chance to grab some floating debris to escape on. He's just the first of many to follow.
Lol. Would you like a unicorn with your side of nonsense?
Nothing is going to happen to these people. Not a damn thing. They will continue to be rich off of the money they stole and will grow old before dying in their mansions surrounded by family that think memaw and pop pop are great people.
Whats it take to make you people finally understand?
YOU are the problem. If you keep telling politicians that you expect them to do nothing, that's exactly what they'll do. They just go back to their insider trading, and ignore you, like you told them to do. Don't give them permission to be incompetent.
We are in unprecedented times, and we will require unprecedented solutions. We absolutely cannot fall back on the same morally and legally bankrupt political policies traditions that led us here. If we manage to recover Congress and the White House AGAIN, then they will have the obligation to follow the mandate of the voters, and DO THEIR JOB!
It's not like they'll have a choice. The government is in tatters now, imagine what it will be like in 2 years? The government will need to be completely rebuilt. Thousands of government workers will be invited back to their jobs. Entire agencies will have to be reformed, and MAGA hires and appointees investigated and fired or indicted. Nobody hired by MAGA can remain.
As long as we have to rebuild, we can go in any direction we want. We don't have to rebuild the same broken system that brought us to this point.
And we absolutely can't allow them to let MAGA off the hook, "for the good of the country." America can't recover, and can't redeem itself in the eyes of its Citizens, the World, and History, until MAGA has been decisively crushed, and purged from our government, and society.
Well, you sure are the hopefull sort... me? Not so much. Who do you forsee going to jail? I doubt anyone is getting more than a slap on the wrist, or much more than a Tucker Carlson style "I guess we shouldnt have done that... but we didnt mean it" style apology, if that. Death sentence? Hahaha not happening.
But heres to you mate! Never wished I was on the wrong side of a discussion more than now.

We should be telling them every chance we get that we will absolutely NOT tolerate their political cowardice any longer. We are in the mood for change, and we will gladly swap out any recalcitrant Democrats, right along with the MAGAs.
And they are getting the message. Last Fall, as Americans were going hungry, they stuck with the shutdown, until it hit the airports, and their wealthy campaign donors couldn't maneuver their operatives around the country. So the Dems fully surrendered, with nothing in return, and the Dem voters went NUTS, and it scared them, especially Jeffries. Schumer is too blinded by his greed and allegiance to Israel to umderstand how much he is despised. When this is over, he deserves a noose as much as any MAGA.
So this time when the shutdown hit the airports, the Dems knew to just let it play out, and it was glorious. It only hurt those flying during Spring Break, which is mostly rich people anyway. They were forced to stand in line for hours, contemplating the wisdom of their MAGA vote. This time the shutdown hurt MAGA as intended, and it continues to hurt them.
We need to apply a LOT more pain on both sides, and make them FEAR our massive angry numbers more than they fear the tiny minority of wealthy. Then we can force them to submit to our demands when we take the government back.
The way to cause pain on both sides is to primary the Democrats who aren't helping and vote against all Republicans because none of them are helping. If you vote against Democrats in the general election, you are not causing pain to both sides. You're telling Republicans to continue.
Valid.
The People lose. Always.
The few may go to jail for a bit. But they will live better in jail than millions of people they stole from.
They stole the present and the future, while trying to rewrite the past.
The society and economy left in the aftermath of these cancerous personalities is going to piss me off on the daily.
