      The Dems aren’t going to do shit. They’ll continue their insider trading and send a few really strongly worded tweets. Then they’ll go to his events and invite his family to their personal events. The rich protect the rich.

      lol if dems win they’ll shrug and let it all go so the country can “heal”. Same thing happened after Watergate and Iran Contra. Rich people don’t face consequences here

        You are behind the times. The Dems are making lots of plans to investigate MAGAs when they take over the House and Senate. Jeffries has already set up several committees, assuming he remains Speaker (I hope he gets replaced). The House Dems just released their report on Trump’s involvement in the Epstein Files, signaling that it will be a primary investigation.

        After Jan 6, I argued with MANY who said there would be no justice for the Insurrectionists, and yet, step by step, they eventually imprisoned well over 1000 Traitors. Trump later pardoned them, but the fact remains that those who assumed the Dems would do nothing were entirely wrong.

        And they’re wrong about this as well. I just watched an interview with a Dem member of Congress who said that we absolutely cannot go back to the old ways of doing things, if we expect to regain the trust of the rest of the world. He said we have to make major systemic changes, and rebuilding after MAGA gives us the perfect opportunity to remake the government properly.

        Your wish that MAGA gets away with their crimes will not come true.

          You are not a student of history I see. The rest of us understand the person you are replying to doesn’t “want” the Democrats to punk out. “Investigate”? Do you know how many Democrat investigations we’ve lived through? Fuck-tons! An absurd amount of wasted air. And they never produce anything. They are the perfect distraction. “Investigations” are the balancing flap of the other wing of the one party. Oh boy, I’m sure Don Trump Jr is just terrified of the grilling Elizabeth Warren is going to give him /s

        • Where do we start with remaking the government properly? Remove the electoral college? End the two party system? Rewrite the Constitution? None of this is going to happen, and although I hope I’m wrong, I believe after one cycle of having Democrats in power the people will say they didn’t do shit and go right back to the Republicans.

          “wish” lol, my only wish is democrats actually grow a spine one single time in the last 50 years

          Original comment was specifically about Trump anyway, he will never face consequences because dems are afraid of him and his followers. Otherwise he’d already be in prison for the insurrection. Or at the very least not allowed to run again because him being on the ballot directly violated the 14th amendment. Trump will pardon himself and issue a blanket pardon for all his henchmen and the dems will say “aw shucks well what are you gonna do?” or issue a strongly worded letter

      Saudi Arabia is not very happy with being ignored when they asked for help to fight the Houthis. Twice. Moreso after all the “investment” they did into trump’s close circle

        they gave kushner 2bn in investments, they dint seem to gain much influence since then, in fact thier influence diminished. if they were backing propaganda outlets, then they wouldve had a chance.
