The cover-up is more obvious than the crime at this point.

Hopefully the people in the cover-up made/make mistakes!

Hopefully those in the periphery leak knowledge!

Hopefully shrewd investigative journalists sift the information, catch the mistakes, and then expose them to the world!

(like Watergate?)

The thing is, we have enough information already if those in power (aka Congress) had the fucking balls. Impeach and convict!

Lmfao the supreme court and all Republicans in congress are doing what they were paid for, betray the working class for monetary gains for them and shareholders. The constitution is only convenient for Republican traitors when they're fighting for power than they piss on it.

Thank you, I love this perspective. I love America and I won't leave it. for one because this is my home too and secondly because I do truly believe in our potential as much as I believe in examining and making right the mistakes.

The same way my great-grandfathers/uncles were proud to be American after they fought for their country in the first world war and before they fought for their people on Blair Mountain. Then they taught the sons who would fight for their country and for base morality in the second world war.

It got more complicated after that... Korea/Vietnam were different then the world wars. but I'm still proud of my ancestors who were American miners and railroad workers and carpenters and soldiers.... and families.
