    Trump and his cronies need to be removed from the office, not prosecuted. Not because a part of the population strongly disagrees with his policies, but simply because he has been blatantly disregarding the constitution. And if you think “only the supreme court can decide if that’s true” I’m sorry but you’re wrong, you only need a brain. You don’t need a conviction to know that he is a paedophile and has something weird going on with Putin, you just need your eyes and ears. The epstein files have now been released, clearly implicating him, yet people still seem to be waiting for “the official thing” and crying about the redactions. I understand that he “allegedly” is an Epstein associate until he’s convicted, but dear Americans please remember that being found guilty of something is not the same as being guilty of something. You can be one without the other. You can be reasonably certain someone did something based on the evidence you’ve seen. Judges are not superhuman, and especially if they’re complicit, how can you rely on them to stop the injustice?

    This really is not a call for violence. I do not care how you stop Trump from hurting the USA and the rest of the world, but it does need to happen, and You The People are the only ones who can make it happen. It is your duty and your right to resist tyranny, isn’t it? I hope new “political” figures can rise soon and accomplish that with nothing but charisma and a spine, but at the very least, please stop being so defeatist towards the lack of consequences.

      I’m not sure if this is directed at me specifically or the American people but 1) I’m not American and 2) I’m not being defeatist, I’m demanding something be done to change things just like you are. Before the people can do something, they need to recognize that the government isn’t going to do anything to stop this

        No this is not directed to you at all, just seemed like a good space to vent :)

        I just hope Americans can find hope and love for each other again, and really be the “beacon of liberty” they purport to be.
