Vote like your best mate is indigenous, your daughter is gay, your uncle is on NDIS, your brother is on the poverty line, your neighbour is an immigrant and your kids have to live on this planet for decades after you leave.
One the MiVote positions (written into our constitution) was that 16 years old could vote.

“I heard it absolves me”
Read as: we won’t release 3 million files and the files we did release had hundreds of FBI agents removing incriminating evidence of decades of my child raping.
Only a guillotine will do.

Trump on Epstein Files: I was told by some very important people that not only does it absolve me, it's the opposite of what people were hoping, you know, the radical left.

This is not a right/left issue. This is a social class issue where rich men feel they can do anything with impunity.
Chomsky was pals with Epstein, does not get much further left.

A climate catastrophe where the response is led by the worst offenders
A media industry that editorialises the opposite of the footage they air

Has anyone calculated the number of court hours wasted by the child rapist in chief across his thousands of lifetime legal cases?
And now he wants
$10B from us for leaked tax records.
For tax records he refused to release for public disclosure which is part of the requirements as our president.
Fuck him. He needs to pay us for this failure and frivolous litigation.

It has always been a failed and conflicted agency
It was set up that way
It assassinated Malcolm X & MLK
It knew and cooperated in the assassinations of JFK and RFK
Hoover was a member of secret Texan Big Oil groups (along with his very close friend LBJ)
FBI was never about the 'little people'
