Intelligence sources believe Epstein was running ‘the world’s largest honeytrap operation’ on behalf of the KGB when he procured women for his network of associates.

      At this point, what can happen? Congress is under the same sticky thumb as Trump, and there aren’t enough voters who are engaged enough to even know about it. The firehose of bullshit did exactly what it was supposed to do, and now there’s no public will left to keep fighting for freedom and democracy.

        There is actually a huge amount of public interest and engagement around these issues right now. The ground is very, very ripe for organizing, especially around class lines. The ICE OUT protests and general strikes have demonstrated that there are thousands of people ready to put their bodies on the line for what is right. Those people need to be organized, trained and armed. Then history will take its course.

        Military coup. A well respected general that still gives a shit about their country and their pride decides to say ‘not on my watch’, sends in the troops hot and hard, when least expected. Capture who you can. Eliminate those who can’t be. There would be no negative consequences for that person if they succeed.

          Pretty sure they sniffed out anyone capable of that and sacked them in the purges. Hell, that was the reason for the purges.

        Hey man whatever floats your boat. I’m not even from the US and the world is watching this unfold aghast how much you would take until other things happen. But they did a good job on you to still take it.

          I mean, it’s just a nothing comment. Like, what does it add to the discussion? It’s some defeatist bullshit that we really don’t need right now.

            This is the internet. It’s not only the US. I can’t do anything for you. It’s an observation.

            What did you do against the illegal activities of your criminal government recently?

            Apologies, if you did and felt included. But we’re not seeing much. We’ve just recently defended greenland. For now.
