    she really has this idea in her head that there wont be consequences for helping to cover up the biggest child sex abuse ring in history.

    I wouldn’t be shocked if she was right

      from the courts sure but i mean it only takes one motivated person and between the size of the population, how much pessimism most americans have towards the future and all the guns floating around i wouldnt be shocked to see someone with nothing to lose do some drastic shit

      • I wouldn’t be shocked to see it either, but the fact that that sort of act has happened so little, especially when contrasted with the frequency of mass shootings, is very telling. All that pessimism in a large population with so many guns that you mention has so far tended to find an outlet in the murder of easy targets, either random people or the already oppressed. There may be some great paradigm shift where the powerful become common targets of “political violence” and frankly timmy-pray, but as of right now, it’s still the safest bet that these people will die peacefully in their beds as oct/nonagenarians.
