COVID likely would not have become a global pandemic, and president Pence would likely be in the middle of his third presidential term if Republicans in Congress had the moral spine to impeach him in January 2020.
The Trump-Epstein Files™
We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

But that's communism! To hold rich people accountable.
Not sure it works that way. Great man theory is not a great model for how history unfolds. The third reich didn't end because Hitler died, Hitler died because the third reich ended. Saying the US illegally attacked Iran because of Trump has the same depth of analysis as saying the murder of Franz Ferdinand is why WWI happened.
Also, the word is children
Agreed. This war happened because Iran supplies a large quantity of oil to China, and the oligarchs are fucking terrified of the rise of communism and the implications it has for their way of life. This war and the attack on Venezuela are both part of the encirclement strategy that capitalists are employing in an attempt to choke China’s economy before the west is eclipsed.
They’ve left it too late though, China’s green revolution will soon free them and the global south from the capitalist oil hegemony.
CHILDREN, not students.
Students can be adults.
It was 168 little kids.
Fake news conservative media has had a part to play in leading us here. Fucking pieces of shit.
Or if trial of Netanyahu proceeded faster
I agree.
They'd also be alive if our two ruling parties didn't have the same positions on Israel and hiding the Epstein Files.
Yeah, Biden had the files too. It’s not like there’s any shortage of Israel worshipping Iran warhawks on the dem side, either.
Things might have been a little different but I doubt they’d be as different as OP thinks.
Biden did nothing in reaction to a Coup attempt and scapegoated Garland. Nobody bats an eye at that, it's insane. I think the federal court seal on Epstein Files is true to an extent but that wasn't the only thing they could've taken Trump down with. They chose to punish nobody important for Jan 6th, emboldening the new confederates.
It's almost like the two parties work together and hold a monopoly on our political system. A duopoly, if you will.
The world would be a better place with this pedophile in jail but don't assume US wouldn't have start another war without him.

And also Iran would still have had no nuclear bomb
And less desire to own nuclear bombs. Can't blame them if they want nukea that can reach the fatland now
This administration's current goals look like subset of what JCPOA was giving us and it also had inspectors there making sure Iran was complying.
But hey, at least the agreement preventing them from having a nuclear weapon is no longer under Obama's name! Ain't that great?
Honestly I'm not upset gas got expensive, I kinda hope it goes higher still. Short term pain, long term gain. Everything else though, yeah. sigh
This is basically the dumbest way imaginable to move away from oil though.
Oh I agree, 100%. My heart breaks for all the people hurting because of this greedy, gluttonous idiocy. 😔 Nonetheless, sometimes my brain is tired and I don't have the energy to articulate a more nuanced take. More and more often, in fact.
TBF, the only worse option is to not move away from oil at all...
Tried the smart ways for decades, soooo..
People won't accept a gas tax to fund maintenance and post-oil development, but a war and 110% price hike, sure. It's madness.
Don’t worry, it’ll come down miraculously just in time for major midterm elections.
Aaaaaaaand everyone will forget it was dumpy who caused the fuel prices to go up.
No, unfortunately the president of the US tends to go along with the swamp on foreign policy decisions, therefore we would be in the exact same situation regardless of the election.
Here is a link to a Kamala Harris speech on the official Biden white house archives. This was less than a month before the election.
We know Hamas is not the only threat Israel faces. On October 8, Hezbollah began launching rockets at Israel, and the Houthis in Yemen began targeting Israeli cities.
And what is the common thread? Well, we all know: Iran, which has now also directly attacked Israel twice.
I am clear-eyed. Iran is a destabilizing and dangerous force.
When Donald Trump was president, he let Iran off the hook. After Iran and its proxies attacked U.S. bases and American troops, Trump did nothing. And he pulled out of the nuclear deal without any plan, leading to an unconstrained Iranian nuclear program.
On the other hand, our administration struck Iranian proxies in Iraq and Syria when they attacked American troops, and we are the first administration to ever directly defend Israel.
Make no mistake, as president, I will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend American forces and interests from Iran and Iran-backed terrorists, and I will never allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon.
Diplomacy is my preferred path to that end, but all options are on the table.
She literally called Trump a pussy for not bombing Iran more and pledges to start a war with Iran if necessary for the express goal of defending Israel.
Trump deserves to be called a hypocrite for campaigning on the opposite of this, but really we never had a choice.
Tell me again, who's fault is it? Who failed to persecute Trump after he failed to return the confidential files? Or his hush money endeavour?
I feel I should say something profound and witty about this.
But really I find the course this country is on depressing. Democracy is slipping away and at every turn I keep thinking even the republicans have to admit it's gone too far, but no, they are okay with it.
I know that historically we have done some really evil things, but I'd thought we were past that.
I keep thinking of a clip I saw of musk saying how empathy was a sickness.
We are a country full of monsters pretending to be human.
I know that historically we have done some really evil things, but I'd thought we were past that.
The whole point of "Never Forget" was to remind us that we can never be passed that. The Nazis weren't monsters, they were human beings. Human beings are capable of incredible atrocities, and we need to constantly remind ourselves of that. Make it the foundation of our whole society. But unfortunately the average person in unable to see past their own lifetime, and therefore sees no point in doing anything that could affect real change for future generations.
I don't know if "KentuckyBLUE" is engaged in a political party or anything, but now is the time for pushing to take Trump to prison instead of hangwringing the foregone conclusion that no one is taking him there.
It'd be a salient rallying point for an opposition party to be pushing.
