We are not playing against a cabal ofdeep thinkers. They may hold the reins of government, but holding a complete thought to its resolution escapes them.
I'm seeing a lot of "The evidence is gone" posts, but remember a few things:
1. The "file" isn't. It's thousands of discreet pieces of evidence.
2. The DOJ has a copy. So do the courts.
3. Other folks have seen the evidence.
This mango admin can't do anything right. I'm sure they missed stuff.
QUIT PLAYING PARTISAN POLITICS WITH THESE VICTIMS. RELEASE THE FILES. BRING THE GUILTY TO JUSTICE REGARDLESS OF PARTY.

It's time.
Get active, Even if you are in a blood-red morass of idiocy.
Talk to your neighbors, even if they are flying Trump flags.
Talk to your elected officials, even if they are MAGA.
Run for something, even if you never have.
Make sure your opposition to this horror show is on record.
True enough, if this were the first abdication of authority on the part of the Democratic Party. But the lack of a ground game โ ANY ground game โ in red states allowed this toxicity to fester and mutate for years.

The opposition party has still not realized that you have to OPPOSE the majority.
Letting them have what they want is collaboration, not resistance.
Well, to be fair it's been one of the coolest songs in the world for 40-something years...

"Which one do you want?" I was asked.
"Talk to me after the ones for my guys are approved," was my reply.
All of my troops received their decorations. That was reward enough.
"Only the best people."
I wish I had known that a Ph.D. in social policy qualified me to head up research for the Navy. That might have changed my whole career track.

Megalomania much? How much longer is the MAGA effete Congress going to put up with this?
Even worse, how much longer will the American people tolerate this kind of lunacy?
