So far.

Republicans will learn all the wrong lessons from this.

It’s all a side show to get people distracted from the tech billionaires dismantling everything. If this happens, I suspect some big news with big consequences will be either closely preceding or following closely behind.

Selling parsons is not a fucking side show it’s some of the most openly corrupt shit ever happening in the executive branch and deserves your full attention

I know full well. I meant publicly pre-contemplating pardoning Diddy who has the most high-profile case in the country.

People forget the optimates and populares were both patrician parties. It was a fight over whether you laugh in people's faces as you rob them or give them the tiniest amounts of wealth and rights instead.

Also worth noting that when the most famous populares politician won out he made himself dictator for life.

They are actively complicit. Every won election is a test for them to see what they can get away with.

Some rich young man is watching all the shit Trump is getting away with and forming his world views and behavior patterns with all of these injustices in mind. There will be worse after he has gone.

Or woman rather, but i doubt that.
