    First on the list:

    Stop being such pussies and do your fucking job of holding people responsible.

      The only entity that could be trusted to do that and who have shown they are neutral is the military.

      Suspend democracy for five years and task the US military with investigating the Epstein regime, the supreme court, their backers, allies, associates, Heritage. Sieze their assets, return theor wealth if they fully cooperate and are found completely innocent of any wrongdoing.

      Unless the rich see that they will lose absolutely everything, all their wealth, their status, their power they will never stop abusing the political system.

      Have the military propose changes to the constitution to fix the holes that allow it to be used as a platform for totalitarianism. Citizens United, political Supreme Court appointment mechanism and oversight, executive authority, corruption, criminality, all these things are clearly broken and the system enables the one thing the founders wanted to prevent, tyranny

      While both parties eat from the trough of political corruption the likelihood of them ever changing the system is a pipedream.

      And Israel has to be dealt with.

        The same neutral military that happily invaded foreign countries unprovoked and keeps coviering up the random murder of fishermen?

          Who else is there?

          The judges are politically appointed and act as an extension of political parties which is corrupted with political financing often from foreign nations. The system is completely fucking broken.

          The only entity I see that actually remains politically neutral is the military.

          America is fucked beyond belief. It no longer has an effective working model in any branch.

            The same thing has happened with the military leadership. Did you miss the massive wave of purges and resignations of almost every leadership position?

            I think there’s an amendment that was supposed to make the population that entity. Sucks that no one actually wants to shoot fascists anymore.

              Yeah, that’s the dumbest, the most stupid idea in history, the constitution needs to be completely remade in a modern form, the military is always the last line of defence. Allowing people to run round with weapons is the dumbest idea ever. It’s medieval thinking that leads to schoolkids being shot to death by psychopaths and lunatics.
