Weird that other Nation’s leaders can be held accountable for their crimes in American Courts but thanks to SCOTUS and John Roberts, America’s Republicans can’t be held accountable for a GD thing including violating the Constitution.

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again

Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

POTUS is a convicted felon and was indicted for abusing power to overthrow a legal election, and we have Supreme Court justices who openly accept lavish gifts from people with interests before the court and its really weird to me that most people are…at most casually annoyed? And mostly w/ inflation

The UNACCEPTABLE failures to enact gun control measures:

Government officials DON’T pursue common sense gun control due to lobbying efforts, political polarization, differing interpretations of 2nd Amendment & electoral pressures created by a highly engaged MINORITY of voters…

Why do we accept it?

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.

Trump sent Vance there twice. He threatened to cut off all federal spending to the state. He vowed to back primary challengers of any Republican who voted against him here. He posted their names online, prompting his fans to send them death threats.

But all that failed, so now he wasn't involved.
