Assuming the GOA isn’t already compromised.

      Worse, I expect them to be given more power and money. Because everything about this country is a bad fucking joke.

      On literally every single post about US government officials doing their duty to exercise the Checks and Balances, we have these defeatist pessimistic comments with many upvotes.

      What value does this contribute? You are shitting on GOOD NEWS for fuck’s sake.

      In contrast, I say “good job” to those who are upholding the law in such efforts to resist the Nazi fascists who are ruining the USA.

        I don’t believe this is us government officials doing their duty to exercise checks and balances, this is a show.

        I am not defeatest, I am of the opinion the entire US government is compromised and needs to be replaced and a new constitution written.

          This. There are too many loopholes and glaring problems written into the very code of the government that allows two parties to hold power and not represent the will of the people in a balanced way. The Constitution needs a heavy overhaul for the needs and challenges of the 21st century and beyond. The founding fathers also didn’t want a single document to stay stagnant in perpetuity.

        It’s not necessarily defeatist mentality. Personally I think that it is folly to expect a broken system to save people from that same broken system. It is my belief that actions like this lull citizenry into a false sense of comfort and assurance that something is being done. Comments like this serve as a reminder to me of how broken the system is and to keep resisting and to not expect others to do the fighting for me.
