So we are the only country where we dont care our leaders are child molesters.

I keep seeing reports that in other countries, these people faced consequences for being mentioned or connected to Epstein at various degrees. In the UK, Prince Andrew, Lord Mandelson, in Slovenia of all places somebody just resigned, etc..

Here in the US these people are part of our government, corporate elite and oligarchy and its all ok.

Our country has sunk so low, I am so disappointed. We used to be the shining beacon of democracy ( supposedly), right now we are anything but that.

It's just that the system has been rigged so the tail is wagging the dog right now.

As soon as trump is gone, we can get to fixing this insanity.
