    They won’t.

    Please look at history of last 50 years. They swap every term or two for a reason.

    If only one dominated, they would be responsible for everything, you see. So they share the burden (and the wealth) with their good cop/bad cop routine. They’ve got it down to a science.

    Zero reason to “steal elections” when you just buy them.

    Almost forgot! Obligatory “bOtH pArTiEs”

    Bailing out multinational banks with taxpayer funds is not “improving the economy.”

    Yeah, I know they “paid us back”… i.e. they returned funds made with interest from that bail out, and returned a significantly smaller (through inflation) amount of money. CLEVER THAT SURE TRICKED ME

    Inflation isn’t because of some mysterious unknown cause. This bailout in 2008 is a big part of why.


  • I’m old enough to recall Bush political cartoons, he was constantly a monkey clown for our amusement. I’m fine with any President being portrayed as a monkey, personally.

    But this struck me immediately as deeply racist. I think it’s because of the attack on the former first lady? It’s a visceral reaction.

    What did she ever do to anybody?





  • On one hand, I loathe pedophiles and the awful black market that they use to trade whatever

    On other hand, I wonder how often the “law” just uses this to get rid of people who displease them, they just install the appropriate stash with a thumb drive while “scanning”.

    Decades in prison, asset forfeiture, who would stop them or even be able to prove it? The modern equivalent of planting drugs (which they are caught doing frequently already), and nobody wants to defend pedophiles.

    Worst case scenario for them? The taxpayers pay for a lawsuit settlement and they might get paid leave for six months


  • And this is why we can “officially” be incorrupt, the very act of bribery is endorsed by the State!

    Every time you see the word “donations” or “contributions” just swap it with “bribes”.

    Amazon and friends aren’t “donating” millions of dollars out of charity.

    Citizens United and Super PACs were the final nails in the coffin, today we are seeing the results of 50 years of unbridled bribery by corporations and robber barons.

    And that’s why minimum wage is seven bucks an hour and no universal healthcare and on and on and on and on.

    They do allow us to argue about abortion and gay marriage though, as long as it doesn’t affect the bottom line, so that’s nice.


  • Agreed, I already know Trump was frequently mentioned and Epstein’s buddy for 20 years, and I still want a source for this.

    If it was true, I think the Democrats would have released the files long ago.

    Of course, Clinton was also friends with Trump for years. but for 50 mentions vs. 38K, it seems like it would be worth the reveal to them.

    On other hand, the Royal Family is also working hard to subvert these revelations, and God knows how many billionaire “donators” to bOtH pArTiEs… this is big, biggest political story of any of our lifetimes in my opinion
