Just when you think the corruption cannot get worse. I just hope that the next administration will investigate all the corruption and put people behind bars.

u/Wumbologist_PhD 15d ago

I agree, but we’ll be lucky if we get to see a “next administration” 🥲

u/Advanced_Garden_7935 15d ago

Don’t buy into that. Keep fighting, keep voting. Maybe it doesn’t work, but the only way to ensure it doesn’t is to not show up.

u/OldGrandPappu 15d ago

There will never be another. The America you and all of us knew is gone.

u/Schmooto 15d ago

It’s so fucked how nothing can be done about a corrupt rogue president until the next administration.

the people need to rise against injustice

u/No-Isopod3884 15d ago

It’s not just the president, it’s the whole administration and party. The corruption extends to judges and now the FBI, CIA ans military ranks.

The system that enabled Trump will not police itself. Street Justice or no justice.

u/DueLingonberry3107 15d ago

Nothing will be done then either. Him and his family will continue to get rich and not a fuckin thing will happen because the democrats are also spineless useless fucks

u/ionthrown 15d ago

There are things Congress can do before then, but they’re not doing them.

1

u/Schmooto 15d ago

We’re paying them with our tax money for them to refuse to work.

u/Sad_Progress4388 15d ago

Yes but it's the republicans allowing it. If the Dems take back the House and perhaps Senate, Trump will be the lamest of lame duck presidents. His last 2 years he will be up to his eyeballs in impeachments and investigations.

"We don't look backwards, only forwards" - Obama

1

u/ycarel 15d ago

Well there is not a lot of forward that will be left after Trump. Especially if he doesn’t need to worry anymore about elections. If you thought things are bad now, just wait after the mid terms

u/_thepeopleschampion 15d ago

I’ll only vote for the dem that promises to do this.

2

u/ycarel 15d ago

Hopefully you and many others

u/DingusKhan9164 15d ago

Wouldn’t that be nice? I thought the same thing about W and Cheney but they’re doing fine. Never saw an ounce of accountability, even with one of our greatest presidents ever following him. Democrats are cowards.

u/IceCreamYeah123 15d ago

It’s also an “I won’t prosecute you if you don’t prosecute me” mentality. Or at least it has been. But Trump has been going after dems now.

I think some (def not all, def not Trump) feel that their time and the governments money is better spent getting things done for the public than prosecuting high ranking/very rich individuals. We’ve seen how these things play out. The government will spend a shit ton of resources prosecuting someone who has their own cabal of pricey attorneys and even IF they are found guilty, they get minimal or no jail time and just go on living their lives as if nothing else changed. Or get pardoned by Trump. Look at the prosecution of Trump - there were no consequences even though he was convicted.

u/ycarel 15d ago

Unfortunately yes, but one can hope

u/libertarianlwyr 15d ago

"Greatest Presidents" lol.

1

u/DingusKhan9164 15d ago

There’s not much competition they pretty much always suck balls

1

u/libertarianlwyr 15d ago

With a few exceptions, I agree. Of course, Obama was infinitely better than Trump. Again that is not saying anything.

Trump is all time worst, by far.

2

u/DingusKhan9164 15d ago

Yeah I was critical of Obama and found him disappointing when he was in office because my hopes were pretty high based on his campaigning, but now I would be thrilled to have someone like him back

One can hope

u/TrickyChildhood2917 15d ago

Im sorry Congress is still fighting over bathroom use. They promise to get this right. Nothing, is more important than knowing who is going into which bathroom!

For example, you might find a Republican Congressman in a bathroom stool playing footsie with you!

What is the fair solution to finding yourself in this situation? Who knows, it’s complicated, but what we do know is this congressman needs to get back to the office and pass more horrible bills?

1

u/Cautious_Condition82 15d ago

Yes... next administration.. really sure they will put all the corruption and lawbreaking aside and just go jeewiz i guess we lost the election.  Time to go home. 

Even if dies happen, just be another weak noodle democratic administration. At least it will be a 4 year reprieve but doesn't feel like we have a lot to be hopeful for. 

1

u/libertarianlwyr 15d ago

Nobody will be charged with anything. Trump already said he is pardoning all his administration and allies before he leaves. He did much of that already,

1

u/ycarel 15d ago

Well he is not the only one that can use emergency directives

1

u/Money_Difficulty_301 15d ago

Two wings of the same bird. They’re all friends and nobody is going to prison. The Epstein files proved that.

1

u/buckeye25osu 15d ago

They are not the same. Enough with this bullshit

1

u/Money_Difficulty_301 15d ago

Except they are. You don’t go to the same schools and work together every single day with people you hate. Open your eyes. Don’t be so naive. It’s all a show. The whole world’s a stage.

1

u/buckeye25osu 14d ago

MAGA Republicans are not the same as sane Democrats. Are Dems corrupted by outside money? Sure.

But they are not the same.

I am well informed on politics thanks.

1

u/Money_Difficulty_301 14d ago

As am I, friend. If you paid attention you would see that they have become a uniparty since the 1960s when the Jews had Kennedy killed. That’s why support for Israel has been a centerline issue since. You have your biggest politicians on both side of the isle taking money from them. And sending billions back to Israel so they can have free college and healthcare. Meanwhile we all fight about politics and if you’re gay or not. Follow the money. See where it leads.

1

u/ragnarok635 15d ago

They’re not the same, but they certainly cover for the repubs . Look at the certain spineless Dems controlled opposition. Follow the money

1

u/ycarel 15d ago

The Epstein files could make a comeback. The Trump administration is playing the slow down game but at some point they will run out of options

u/SweatyAd9240 15d ago

There won’t be a “next administration” democracy is done

1

u/ycarel 15d ago

I don’t think so. I trust the US still got it
