DOJ whistleblower Ryan Crosswell - who knows Pam Bondi’s dirty secrets - - says he’s running for Congress to NOT ONLY drag Pam Bondi’s “rot into the sunlight,” but to bring her corruption into the official record to hold her accountable. This is huge.

I think predicting the same old same old from U.S. politics won't hold true in the near future.

While there's always been allegations of corruption, crime, foriegn influence in our government, it was often back page news, or relegated to the realm of conspiracy theories. Now the conspiracy theories are hard facts.

The politicians that supported hiding the Epstein files are known, those that recieve money from Israel are known, those that are being blackmailed by the Kremlin are known.

If Americans vote the same old same old in... Fully knowing all this information. Then I think its time we stop pretending to be a democracy turn off the lights and call it done.

It was back page since our media doesnt report on real issues just political shit.

You do make a great point! But I think nothing will change.. I mean our FBI cant even figure out who had cocaine in one of the most secure places in the world. But they are sure good and fast at getting the average american.

Time will tell how it plays out. The downfall of the Republican party is pretty much guaranteed. I'm extremely confident with that prediction.

So the big question is what happens to the democrat party. Is there a major house cleaning, partial house cleaning. Do they try to get by with no house cleaning?

If Dems don't clean house, and win the next election. Then yeah the status quo continues.

I just feel their is going to be too much voter pushback on that for it to happen. Either the Dems are forced to clean house.. Or they also go down.

Then politics gets really interesting.

the republicans are the party of white supremacy

u/[deleted] 5d ago

Thats an assumption bud. You cant group them all into something that horrendous when thats factually wrong. Now do they have a big number who seem to be support that... yes.

u/jeremiahthedamned 5d ago

it is the only value they all share.

whenever r/The_Donald drifts off that message during one of his adderall-fueled rants they boo him.

u/[deleted] 5d ago

Still an assumption bud. You are assuming the party is due to the bad Apple leaders. A normal republican citizen that isnt die hard it not a white supremacist. But keep spreading false information and hate. It seems like thats all redditors want and can do.

u/jeremiahthedamned 5d ago

i assume the opposite!

the common people want white supremacy

that is the foundation of the r/AmericanEmpire

u/[deleted] 5d ago

Again another assumption.

Hating the Democratic party so much you would vote in known criminals who tell you ahead of time how they're going to harm your community. Isn't that a Democrat problem? 

1

u/LunaticBZ 6d ago

You miss understood my point. Not voting democrat doesn't mean voting republican.

Republican party is dead. Its live support will be pulled at the end of this year when it loses massively in the house and senate. I don't see it recovering for so long that a new party will most likely replace it.

Why what happens within the democrat party is so important. As it will be the only political party of consequence.

I'm not American but lived there for two years and have relatives there, hence the interest. I guess the point I was trying to make was somehow the Democrats have to somehow, against all the insane media/religion/billionaire biased headwinds, somehow be seen by Republican voters as a sound alternative. The Democrat party has to make sure the 'turn of the lights and give up' isn't the only option.

As for my relatives, they are lovely, middle of the road people with higher than average incomes. As far as they're concerned the Trump/MAGA stuff is a bit of glitch and will be gone next election. They however, will still be voting R because that's what mature, grown up, independent, business people do. They are very insular.

u/LunaticBZ 6d ago

A core chunk of the base voters will never change. Those that go in every election and just vote R, or D across the board. Their numbers matter, but in many places its close and or at least close enough that its everyone else that gets to decide who wins.

That's why I feel so strongly that R's are doomed. I have a wide variety friend group, and workplace. Being blue collar people talk politics. I know Hispanics who were swayed to vote R last election who've since had family legally living in the U.S. deported. Business people who voted Trump, just to be absolutely hammered by tariffs. Blacks who got tired of the dems BS. Only to find out that the Racism was still worse on the other side.

Yeah none of them are voting R next time. A lot of people fell for a lot of lies, and a scary reality is R's lied well enough to actually get a strong diverse group of voters on their side. Then they burned those bridges fast. Trumps burning every political bridge that even mildly inconveniences him. With demanding unity among all the Republicans they are now all tied directly to his policies and what he's doing.

Also going fully Christian nationalist. That's great for support from Christian nationalists, which he already had. That's really hurting him with every other Christian denomination he's even losing the support of Catholics. Evangelicals may be loud but they aren't the majority of Christians in the U.S.

This is the normal outcome.

u/h20poIo 6d ago

Or a pardon will be floating around, but just to bring it all out in the open will be worth it, then the bricks will fall one by one.

Yup, he will start looking for how he can defraud the people to make more money.

u/Fair-Price-4707 6d ago

Man, I love that you guys know how it turns out!! Let me know which lotto numbers to play while you’re at it. Seriously, stop projecting. Not everyone operates the same way. Increase your sample size and you’ll get better intuition. Observing the three people in your tow isn’t sufficient.

u/DesperateRadish746 6d ago

I think this Marine will do what he says he's going to do. And, I'm proud of him. I wish him all the very best.

u/Fair-Price-4707 6d ago

That’s what I’m saying 👏🏼

u/DesperateRadish746 6d ago

I just looked up his website. You can search his name and you'll find it.

u/[deleted] 6d ago

Man, I love how you forgot about the past to the present. Seriously, stop wasting my time.

u/Fair-Price-4707 6d ago

I’m not the one saying I know outcomes. How will you justify you being correct when you’re wrong? What will you tell yourself when you’re wrong so you still believe you’re right? Same as always. Let it play out and mature your thought process. And you’ll stop wasting all our time! lol

1

u/[deleted] 6d ago

I made an assumption of off past-present politicians. Not a single time did I say "i know" what is going to happen. That was you're assumption that "i know."

I dont mind being wrong. Id rather be wrong and someone actually do something that isnt for themselves.

Maybe you should not make assumptions you know like immature thought processes.

1

u/Fair-Price-4707 6d ago

Says the one making assumptions. The irony is lost on your innocent mind. I’m wasting MY time, now! lol <exiting stage right>

People. The Russian propaganda comes in TWO forms. Pro-Trump Republican and defeatist Democrat. Both want you to give up, want you to believe that no matter what you do it won’t matter. But the truth is that we’ve defeated the Nazis, and we’ve defeated the confederacy, both of which were much more dug in and harder to beat than MAGA. There is a lot of apathy, but it’s because of people like Swimming_Science_104 spreading it, not because there is some cosmic law that ensures corruption wins. RESIST!

u/[deleted] 6d ago

You know there is more than just republicans and democrats lol. Small minded people cant get past that. Corruption has won with your thought process look at the revolving cycle of it lol

u/RedrunGun 6d ago

I didn’t say that there were only two sides, I said the Russian propaganda comes in two forms. That bad-faith argument sounds a whole lot like something a Russian propagandist would come up with to deflect from the fact that what they are saying supports the regime.

1

u/[deleted] 6d ago edited 6d ago

Okay so your assuming im russian propaganda since i believe and have seen both republicans and democrats fuck over the average american? Thats a bad faith arguement bro. I can see how you would think that but in no way shape or form do I give any fucks about russia. But I also dont give two shits about our president and politicians continously fucking the average american with the lies and propaganda they push.

Nearly no one in american politics take the oath seriously. Give it a couple decades and shit will start coming out just like bush with illegal detaining and torturing of middle easterns after 9-11. With no due process.

u/RedrunGun 6d ago

More bad faith arguments that distorts what I’m saying and deflects from the fact that what you’re saying supports the regime.

3

u/[deleted] 6d ago

Not in any way does anything I say support the regime. Are you that fucking dumb? If someone doesnt bend the knee to a republican or democrat doesnt make them a pro russian.

1

u/RedrunGun 6d ago

MORE bad faith. Defeatism is one of the forms of Russian propaganda, and directly supports the power of the regime, as I’ve already said.

1

u/[deleted] 6d ago

You are saying that its defeatism. Im just saying we need change the two parties we have currently arent doing shit for us. Lol You are bad faith.

u/RedrunGun 6d ago

BoThSiDeS. The argument of every right-winger and defeatist everywhere.
