    Our entire government is made up of criminals all agreeing to let each other get away with it as long as they can all keep stealing/raping/abusing. Truly wild that this is all just public info and they still are in power.

      Our entire government includes Ilhan Omar, the aggrieved party in this case, Bernie Sanders, AOC… How did you read that and arrive at that conclusion?

        I think because they seem largely powerless within their own party against the likes of Shumer, Pelosi, ect.

        They also don’t have the “take my ball and go home” card Sinnema and Manchin have

          Plus all those Dems are in the way of the fascist agenda. Let’s get rid of all of them.

          Bernie can stay. Just Bernie. That will be his curse.

      Quoting what someone said and trying to inspect an immigrant detention facility are totally the same as sexual assault and revenge porn. /s

      For fuck’s sake, give the “both sides” nonsense a rest.

        I don’t mean to say both sides are the same. Just the whole mechanism of government by which members of government can just IGNORE ACTUAL CRIMES for any reason they deem convenient.

      Yep. #bothSides. No need for nuance or choosing for harm reduction. Stein/Putin 2028!
