We have a lot of good, decent people representing us in DC and they get so little credit even from the people who voted for them.

the MAGAots have already laid claim to the "Un-Educated" toilet cleaners and taking out the trash crowd........

After the election, he got on the news and said: "I love the un-educated that all voted for me"..........

His incredibly detailed pencil sketches used to show up on DU regularly.

Who IS Mr. Fish, anyway ? And where does he publish his work ?

ANYMORE.

Thanks to you and your greedy leech buddies. Decades of propaganda and law-tweaking and their delusional excesses, and this is the result. And, because things are, most likely, not going to end up being positive for them, they would rather it all crumble and hope that we will worship them till the last.

Or, until their plane arrives to take them to their new home in another country that does not understand what is about to happen because they let those bo weevils in.

Isn't great when they blame us for the destruction that they created?

Who on our side, but maybe a decrepit few, would get swept up in such a purge?

This has nothing to do with partisan politics. There are Democrats and liberals in the files. Noam Chomsky is in the files. Larry Summers is in the files. During the time when Trump was palling around with Epstein he was registered as a Democrat. The files are a who's-who of wealthy, powerful, well-connected men of various political stripes, some of whom used their money and status to abuse women and girls with impunity. Not everybody on "our side" is virtuous, and there are no political "sides" to this mess. The GOP is trying to protect Trump not out of ideology but because he's their source of power.
