Today was a huge day for democracy. A 99.9% complete flip of the house and senate. I'm hoping this is it for Trump. The only issue I can foresee is dealing with the next moron in charge. The problem is he gets 3 years at the helm.
As for Trump, I am hoping for prosecution. Major accountability and prosecution for all the laws he broke. All the things he's done against the constitution. It would really make my day to see this man in jail. The sooner, the better.
You do the crime, you do the time.

This time it feels different. And I will always have hope.

(25,313 posts)It was the result of Virginia Giuffre's posthumous book publication.
It took down royalty, signaling that the sex scandal was worldwide and included monarchs and oligarchs.
Until then, no powerful figure had been exposed as part of the operation, and it signals that (more) independent discoveries and disclosures are going to happen, despite the DOJ deliberately locking up everything they have, to protect our oligarchs.
I am sure that the web includes high-ranking people, some wearing black robes, but that needs to be explored. Just opinion, based on previous decadence and debauchery. You live that lifestyle or you don't and money facilitates the crime and the coverup.
See "Eyes Wide Shut" by Kubrick.

This is all open source intelligence, and the financial trail has not even begun to be explored.
Thank Senator Ron Wyden for pushing that and it can be done outside the DOJ, a.k.a. "Defenders of Jeffrey"
