    Mueller report, impeachment trials, Jan 6 hearings, and now this. Nothing ever happens to him. Feels like reality TV at this point. Even after impeachment they were not able to remove him from office.

        Srsly tho, even the ancient greeks knew that voting-based elections are nothing more than popularity contests / reality TV, and that just because someone is good at getting votes doesn’t mean they know anything about running a country. And that the person with the most resources is gonna win elections because they have media control.

        Like imagine how terrifying it’d be if doctors got their job by election instead of going to school and learning medicine. Ancient greeks debunked bourgeois democracy before it even got invented.

    I hate to be that guy but I really think it’s an op to boost him for 2024

    Isn’t the FBl director appointed by Trump?

      The FBI did that last minute investigation on Hillary almost certainly to get Trump elected, this may be the Yin to their previous Yang. Whereas before, they went after his opponent to boost him, now they may actually boost him through their supposed opposition to Trump. Idk, do you think FBI wants a Republican or Democrat? I feel like the foreign policy is the same but FBI is mostly(mostly not all) domestic so the FBI may be hedging their bets on this, what do you think they’d prefer?

        I think we’ve been in a ruling class civil war for a while now. I don’t know how much longer until violence breaks out between the two major factions, but I think it will. Unless they’re able to rally together for a war or something. This is part of why I think the US wants a major war. Just as the north was economically eclipsing the south before the civil war started up, we’re seeing tech capitalists and “green” capitalists(often the same) taking on fossil fuel and classic forms of media. The tech bros aren’t just challenging on energy. They’re also taking over the propaganda outlets, and integrating themselves into Wall St. And the US is more and more treating computer chips as the new oil.

        I dunno. I could be completely wrong, but that’s what I’ve been thinking about lately.

          The ruling class is divided. And when the ruling class is divided, labor grows stronger and is able to find opportunities for challenging the current power structures. The ruling class desperately needs a war.

      In my opinion, most likely not, it seems more like a publicity stunt, like the trial and impeachment.
