While the intake report memorialized allegations that multiple girls were murdered and buried at a Trump golf course, newly released Epstein records suggest federal investigators ultimately viewed the source skeptically. Other FBI summaries released by the Justice Department indicate complainants making similar allegations were “deemed not credible,” and no publicly released records show that authorities excavated any Trump golf course or uncovered evidence supporting the claims.
Guess the rich only ever saw consequences once: France in 1792
What would America’s Storming the Bastille moment even look like? Storming the child-rape mansion that is Mar-a-Lago? Who’s head would get carried away on a pike? Miller’s? Theil’s? Musk’s?
Our federal government is no longer relevant, get rid of all of them. It’s rotten to the core.
State governments already duplicate much of what the feds do already, we’ll be fine.
Oh yeah, leave it up to the states, so many of them are operating in totally good-faith.
We would NOT be fine. Without someone to force them to behave themselves, some states would go full on Nazi, and start murdering everyone they hate. They’d prey upon anyone traveling through their state, harass their neighbors, etc. We already know that many states can’t be trusted to behave.
Are you going to allow states to issue currency?
But then we’ll get conquered by Russia or China! Just imagine what that would look like. We’d toil our lives away for a handful of oligarchs, get executed in the streets, and be shipped off to death camps. We’d have sham elections with no impact on public policy. Your ability to obtain nice things would depend on an arcane and opaque scoring system run by nefarious unseen overlords. There would be literal slavery.
I used to be big on States’ Rights because I thought it made more sense for people to make rules more specific to them but then I realized the only reason politicians push that is to do whack shit like overturn abortion and now some are even arguing we should go back to when women couldn’t work. If I was the president and I cut back rules so States could decide I guarantee laws like that would be passed within a week.
The more I read about it the more im glad that the federal government is strong enough to stop States from extorting or attacking each other (like how New York would basically bully New Jersey). I just hate that every election seems to be between morally bankrupt nepo-babies and it’s been going on so long that the corruption would literally need a dictator to pull an El Salvador to fix
someone has been reading too many maga tweets. the blue states would financially annihilate red states before the first inbred maga nutjob struggled to waddle his fat ass out of his couch and into his wannabe marine uniform.
Im referring to the early days of the union where the federal government was too weak to stop things like that
CGPGrey’s video on Statue of Liberty talks a bit about it
