According to a bombshell report from the Washington Post, the Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi is considering a plan that would let federal prosecutors investigate and indict members of Congress unfettered by traditional oversight designed to stop political persecution.
Traditionally, before such an investigation could proceed, a prosecutor would have their case reviewed by the lawyers in the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section. But that would go away under the new proposal.
The report notes that, should the proposal go into effect, “a long-standing provision in the Justice Department’s manual that outlines how investigations of elected officials should be conducted” would be shunted aside and allow possible prosecutions based purely on politics.
Maybe when they start arresting house reps people might pay attention.
You know they won’t most Americans want this, whether they admit it publicly or not. It can be seen in how they raise their kids and kick them to the streets at 18 while ignoring how their futures are limited and how much they are struggling. “You’re an adult, figure it out on your own” is an endemic attitude. Why do they even have children, who the fuck knows, Republicans aren’t the only ones who don’t actually give a shit about how their kids’ lives turn out. “Fuck you, got mine” is everywhere.
Not even a majority of VOTERS wanted this, let alone Americans…
I do not believe it is actually a majority. Way too many, either way, though.
But two big issues I see is that most of us are literally living paycheck, where any significant time spent unemployed will result in losing your home.
Number two is how well armed the military is. Not to mention how many times our government has already proven they are more than willing to mobilize the forces against civilians.
So, yeah, we’re pretty much fucked.
