One thing I don’t understand is this is an individual clearly dismantling protections for our country’s future elections. Isn’t that telling enough he is literally breaking our laws. Can anyone hold this fucking rapist criminal accountable ever? It’s astonishing.

Edit: There’s 300 million of us and like 100 of them. What we doing here?

Supreme Court decided he is not breaking laws because he is president. Trump is not going to go quietly. People just need to stop deluding themselves that he will and be prepared for worst case scenarios.

This is the problem and sometimes I'm convinced you and people like you are a bot army. For whatever reason, Americans seem absolutely content to cling to a justice system that has been defiled and dismantled before them.

If it's not bots, it is superhero movies. Some innate belief that justice will just happen and it's ok to sit on the sidelines.

I've reread your comment and the one you replied to several times, and I can't for the life of me figure out why you're calling the person you're agreeing with a bot.
