It sure looks like it. There won’t be any justice. We know this. The current regime spies on opponents, uses the intelligence community and law enforcement against dissidents and political enemies, and rigs elections—all openly, without ever being held accountable for such egregious abuse of power. The elites play by one set of rules, we peasants by another, and the deep state is comprised of Democratic Party loyalists.

The question is what happens when the Rs are in charge once again. Do they clean up the FBI so that it is nonpartisan? Do they seize the levers of power and use them against the Ds? Or do they just make a big stink and not do anything? I vote for door number three.

They continue being the Washington Generals of the Uniparty.

I'd say both parties are Generals while Big Money is the Globetrotters. Since these are often multinational corporations, they literally trot the globe.

We know both houses are populated with unprincipled, venal small frys, but the alphabets are another matter. They may be bunglers when it comes to Castro's beard and Patriot Front marches, but they have been deadly effective in ending the JFK, Nixon, Carter and Trump presidencies with maximum unhappiness.

Only Trump could clean out the Washington Swamp - the first go-round he had no clue what was working against him - this time he knows.

Let's hope that if he is inaugurated on January, 2025 - that DJT hires some ADULTS to help choose and vet Cabinet. I loved what Trump did as a president - but he sucks as a personnel manager. Take a look at the Clown Car that was DJT's first cabinet: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/us/politics/donald-trump-administration.html It's embarrassing. Except for Mnuchin, Wilbur Ross, Mike Pompeo and Mike Mulvaney - the rest were at best C or D level talent for the job. If you're going to eliminate the Swamp - you need to hire the 'A' Team - not the Mr. T 'A' team.

My God. What was it you loved? The infants in concentration camps? The enormous tax give-away to the ultra-wealthy? The unending racial slurs? The ongoing poisonous deadly sanctions against sovereign nations for choosing their own leaders? The ball-sucking sycophancy in Saudi Arabia and Israel (at least the man pays his debts)? The election of absolutely unqualified right-wing jurists to the Supreme Court?

The man was a fucking horror show. Still, better than Biden, and that's the crying shame of it all.

Yep - I loved all of that. But you forgot to mention RUSSIAN COLLUSION, INSURRECTION and TWO FAILED IMPEACHMENTS. (I didn't love those so much). But you do get extra points for recognizing that Biden is a total Shit Show! Good for you!

There was no Russian collusion (that was idiocy from the beginning), the "insurrection" was a shit show, and I'm pretty agnostic on it, and the fake impeachments were likewise shit-shows because they didn't charge with the myriad impeachable offenses (you know - the stuff-we-all-do) but with bullshit no one cared about. But - you know, Trump might be the 'enemy of your enemy' - but he still ain't your friend. He'd rip you off, screw your wife, rape your underaged daughter (and leave you a 2$ tip to show his goodwill) just as quick as Biden would sniff your grandma's hair.

Well it’s obvious that The Donald can’t count on your vote next year - but I really enjoyed your comeback. All the best!

I am not gonna vote for either of those assholes. It's a sad shame that America doesn't have a 'no-confidence' vote - there is no incentive for either party to choose someone palatable.

I recommend everyone write to their congressmen about overhauling the out of control intelligence apparatuses.

The first thing they should do is prosecute everyone who signed the letter dismissing the Hunter. laptop as it was clearly using federal resources to campaign for a political candidate.

What the RNC will do is take every cent they possibly can from the US citizens (social security, all medical benefits which are little to begin with, retirement savings, anything for children, pensions, unemployment insurance, sick leave, eliminate unions, etc.) . What's worse, that? ...or the Dems murdering millions of innocents in other countries that have no intentions of attacking us? Hmmmm.....

Y'all ought to take a look at inflation under Biden and see what it has done to the savings of Americans. . The hundreds of billions used to bail out Silicone Valley Bank. The press can't seem to mention that the Bank would hold gatherings of their most wealthy clients that were really fundraisers for major Democratic figures. An evening with 50 tech guys who have no problem writing very large checks, especially when their banker it makes the magic possible.

Steve, I agree with you. Both parties are despicable, neither wants regular people to have a cent when it can be taken for the oligarchs/war machine. I say, let's elect Robert Kennedy Jr.

I keep getting phone calls asking me to privatize my Medicare Insurance Plan as if they think we the people are too dumb to know what they are up to. Also I have heard that social security funding has been all spent years ago.
