It all starts with Citizens United. Unfettered, obscene amounts of money corrupting American politics and the courts. Huge influence wielded by the ultra-wealthy to enrich themselves further, consolidate their wealth and power, and evade any public accountability (and justice if applicable).
The American Elite for the most part ARE the perpetrators. But then every time in history there's been an elite class, they end up being morally bankrupt and debased.
One thing that all these people in the Epstein files seem to have in common is too much money
It appears that having bass of wealth, make you a pervert, and a sadist
If they were paying their workers a living wage, they wouldnβt have so much money.
Too much of a good thing makes you mentally ill
The billionaire class has also shown itself to be an existential threat to our Republic.
βThe American oligarchy has amassed its wealth through parasitismβ
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
Lying Levitt!

BREAKING: AOC on MTG retiring:
"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."
The US is no longer a reliable ally to Europe.
Trumpβs traitorous policy will also, sadly, cost the US European support on other issues, including China

ICE needs to be permanently closed down, all employees fired and all buildings sold. Today!
When a convicted felon threatens to jail a governor, thatβs not politicsβitβs a warning flare. JB Pritzker didnβt blink. He called Trump unhinged, vowed not to back down, and laid out the stakes: democracy vs. dictatorship.
If they are ever removed!

Stephen Miller is a bitter, spiteful, cold-hearted man β venomous in his words, ruthless in his actions, brimming with seething hatred, malicious intent, and a twisted, sadistic delight in othersβ pain.
Not for nothing, but how, exactly, is it legal to send people for *punishment* in a foreign prison (esp with no due process)? Were the funds being used for it appropriated for this purpose? I feel this has just become a thing no one questions
Give me it. β€οΈ
