The powder keg that is American rage is about to explode

We're about to start seeing the same public reaction to the American police state that swept Europe. People are getting fed up. Just the other day in a comment I posted that when people in a store I was shopping in heard someone mention the Manafort sentence, someone said the judge should be killed for that and others agreed, saying it would send a message to these useless judges that just let the rich go unpunished.
Not shot. Not fired. KILLED.

Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system.

It's hotter than Mercury, which is much closer to the Sun than Venus.

I knew in that moment it was totally true, that we are all trapped in a computer simulation run by some 12-year-old boy in a basement somewhere. Because only some sneering, smirking adolescent, stained with Cheeto dust, would think it a good idea to even have the cretin in the world, much less be the president.

I was out of town when AOC did her latest IdPol damage, saying the New Deal was "extremely racist". But, even though its late, I felt compelled to speak to it. Here's the pertinent quote from an interview at SXSW:

'The New Deal was an extremely economically racist policy that drew little red lines around black and brown communities and it invested in white America,' the Democratic socialist said during her interview on Saturday evening. 

Federal court moves to unseal documents in Jeffrey Epstein sex scandal

This action won’t make up for the years of ruined lives some of these poor women. Nothing ever will. But this is a step in the right direction. Now, what should be done with all the people involved in the gross miscarriage of justice? Will anything be done?
