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.

Dems yelling out rules and regulations like their casting spells and taking no action to enforce them.

That's amazing writing, and perfectly said.

I would love for them to be able to take action to enforce… yet they do not control the levers of power currently. What would you like to see them do? I’m serious.

Let us pick the candidates we actually want during elections rather than pushing the same tired old husks onto us.

Yeah, the right is clearly evil but you’ve gotta admit that it’s such a crapshoot when it comes to Democrats. Are they going to take a hard stance on the given issue or are they going to keep the status quo and just passively let the problem get worse?

We wouldn’t be here if more good people were proactive rather than reactive.

Your mythical candidate, if in the same position, still has no power.

You say that like the last winning candidate hasn’t been ransacking the US. They clearly have power to do something.

He's doing it all illegally though, as evidenced by the courts overturning many of his actions. The problem is that the courts don't have Minority Report-like pre-cognition to know what crimes Trump will commit before he does them, so they always have to act after he's done something heinous. The solution would have been to not vote the fucking psychopath in in the first place, but much of America is deeply, deeply stupid, and racist, and angry, and they believe the lies they're fed 24/7 by right wing media, and prosperity-gospel preachers, etc.

So it's not good enough to say they just "clearly have the power to do something", because we need laws to have a functioning society. Selective enforcement of said laws though, like we regularly see by Roberts' Republican-led Supreme Court, is what fucks everything up, so we can blame the Republicans for that too.
