      don’t they know they’re not allowed

      Don’t most Americans understand how fragile the entire system is and always has been? Did they really believe the reason people argued for rights, regulations, and consumer protections to reinforce the house of sticks the wolf has been attempting to blow down since day 1, was to limit their freedom, not to hinder the ability of the wolf tear it all down?

      Obviously gotta hand it to the wolf for being a hell of a salesman.

      Convincing Americans they had to cut their own social safety nets to be “set free,” while somehow also convincing them their rights and liberties were simply the costs they had to pay for their own “safety,” has got to be one of the greatest tricks since the devil realized he could convince people he didn’t exist. “Your eyes aren’t seeing what they’re seeing. Go back to sleep.”

      I mean this guy and the orange pedo are most likely carrying out the orders of people even more evil than themselves who are smart enough to keep their fingerprints off of this shit. So if you’re hoping to cut the head off the snake, just remember that neither one of them is that head.

      However, in the bigger picture of disgusting shit either of them are involved in, this is a drop in the bucket. Vought is one of those guy’s whose Wikipedia page reads like a cartoon villain (who probably edits his own Wikipedia page so everybody knows what a big bad villain he is 🤏):

      Vought stated that he wanted to put the federal workforce “in trauma” and not go to work “because they are increasingly viewed as the villains”

      They are closer to the top, but still just part of a very long chain of command that relies on “just following orders” like a game of fucking telephone.

    Sure, maybe in a country that follows its own laws. At this point the judges on America’s Got Talent have more say in real life events than a Federal judge.

    America is not a nation of laws. A tenuous descriptor at the best of times, now but a memory. It’s the wild west, only much, much wilder.

      If and when sane politicians get back in control, they need to make the justice department bipartisan and independent.
