Yeah, in every way - looking at my retirement savings in the US stockmarket over the last 3 years - compared to other stockmarkets (many the have risen by 30 or 40 % in that time), the US stockmarket is flatlining. Cause -deliberate chaos and uncertainty of Trump's incessant on/off trade tariffs.

ya I don't think the world will trust the US government for a very long time ... i dont think you quite get it... your fucking government is full of CHILD FUCKERS ....we are done with your lawless fkn idiots

The government is truly not your friend. Those of us who don’t belong to dominant group have known this for as long as there’s been gov’t. Unless you have a few billion tucked away somewhere. If so, you can get comfortable knowing your interests are taken care of.

It sure would be nice to know our DOJ and our FBI mean something again as of right now there's no trust in these law enforcement agencies because of the people trump has appointed. I hope the next President bring back trust and give these agencies a good going over and replace the mess trump did 😡

Amen!!! Also, I think we need to bring back drawing and quartering in the public square for EVERY ONE of Epstein’s monsters. And all the FBI agents and police officers who ignored the victims need to spend time in prison. Bring back real accountability.

When will it actually happen? At the snail's pace we're moving, it feels more than impossible to trust a government that is hostile and actively working against its own citizens interest. I'll only begin the process of trusting the system when I see the Republican fav behind bars. Until then F it!

I'll trust the government when they draft a new constitution. As it stands, the one we have amendments can be repealed and people of color are 2/3 of a person again. That is exactly how they are able to undo progress, by not progressing nor redrafting. Also, state governments need fixed.

So there is a theory in Sociology that goes by the name Dunbar's Number. It postulates that the mind can only meaningfully connect to about 150 people. Beyond that requires the institutions that we have created since we expanded due to agriculture.

In order to grow past the tribal size of 150 requires creating institutions that we come to understand and equate identity with. Thus people that share in or connect through such institutions can be considered part of the society due to familiarity with said institutions.

The problem is that over the past several decades the right by way of propaganda outlets and think tanks has been undermining the institutions because they believed that they were captured by liberal elements. They tried to reverse the course of society.

Trouble is that societies have a natural tendency to progress. It comes with being learning social species. Stasis brings decay and reversing course collapses trust in the institutions. And this breaks the ties that hold us together. Out of fear that progress would break society they broke society.

This has always been true. There have always been trustworthy and not trustworthy members of government. It shifts majorities from time to time, and the smart figure out how to maximize the impact of the good, while minimizing the impact of the bad. Yes, we have work to do.

I don't know that I will ever trust our government again. I don't think I have enough years left in my tho trust SCOTUS, FBI, the Military, or law enforcement. Definitely know I'll never give any room in my life for the trumpers I'm related to or know.

Please don’t give up. We need ppl engaged. Get involved in local politics. Dem clubs, activist/resistance groups, mutual aid groups. There are so many ways to make change happen and make lives better for ppl in your community. 2026 elections are crucial. Vote Dems in and Republicans out everywhere

I don't know about you, but I struggle with feelings toward people that I thought I was past: disbelief, frustration, disgust, revulsion.... I've hated 2 people in my lifetime & spent years in counseling learning how to get past those feelings. Not certain I have enough life left to get past these.

I marched in the 60s. I'm well aware of what black people have fought in their lifetimes. I'm also from a mixed family, so see first hand the issues they face. No...it's not NOW it's affecting me..it's been in my life since the 60s. But, thank you for your assumption. I get where you are coming from

💯 Far too many people talking about how to restore trust, as if it's something they're entitled to. Their plans mostly involve using our own money to trick us into trusting them. Meanwhile, no one at the top talking about how to become *trustworthy* - because that's not who they are.

I don’t agree with that, at all. This is actually one of the side effects of our overall political climate: to make us believe that only another power can restore the political power. If that happens, our political environment will remain the same, weak and bungler

Because it’s amorality and corruption across American society, just consider the membership of the Epstein team. That’s America. We have a long way to go to clean our house.

Your hope will be validated. We’re moving toward an era of accountability, albeit at what seems like a snail’s pace. But this is how social reform typically happens. For every action there is an equal yet opposite reaction. Goodness will continue to reassert itself.

“Of the people, by the people” does not include people who possess monarch’s level of wealth, who rape children & exploit immigrants to get rich while blaming them for their own crimes.

It has never been this bad and corrupt. I think it is going to get a lot worse also unless the people start voting corruption out of office. No, it does not have to be like this either. The voters are first to blame for this. Then seen the corruption but still voted for it.

Christian Nationalists and the Heritage Foundation have tightened their hold onto indefinite power to shadow government levels. So, l wouldn't hold my breath.

nsadvocate.org/2021/08/12/l... Robert Devet Passed Away 46 Days after Running this story, He Had Run a Story a Month Prior, About the Manager of this Dump, Wanting to Run Over Cyclists, I saw it and reached out to him with my 1 dump 2 receipt books, he ran my story Aug 12, and passed sept 27 2021

The politicians that we put behind bars get pardons as well. This must stop. Also let's not for get -Rod Blagojevich. This Vegas gal would be remission if I didn't share Michelle Fiore who stole money. Henry Cuellar was also pardoned for taking $600,000. The list goes on...and on...

The state of play now is that, when push comes to shove, even opposite numbers support each other in their corruption. Trump says Clinton wasn't involved. Clinton says Trump wasn't involved. And both agree that everyone should just move along because there's nothing to see here.

Folks, Corruption Starts When Bipartisanship Is Based On Working With Republicans That Don’t Care About democracy Or The Republic. Any Political Party That Has Turned Away From Humanity, Morality And The Constitution Is Not A Party For People. Dems Should Only Negotiate With Independent Former R’s‼️

When corrupt Republicans go to jail, that is the true test. As now they get new positions and raises and fail their way all the way to the top.
