Folks; I can't predict the future, but either this government is absolutely going for it or they aren't. If they're going to keep pretending everything they're doing is legal, it matters that their Warmonger group chat is illegal. If they're going to shout "I AM THE LAW" and go full Ancient Regime? Then it matters that people understand that so they stop waiting on the courts to stop them.
Resignations and replacements take time. Senate hearings expose the regime. Media flak forces responses.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I don't think he would be held to account for a dead sex worker. Things are that far past dumb now

(In fact, not to be too fucking cynical about it, but the reality is that fucking with the national security state is actually one of the FEW things the US political apparatus has show any appetite to hold truly powerful politicians to account for. Like, it's that and turning up in a hotel room with an underage person or a dead sex worker.
Nobody is saying the way our society works is MORALLY right. Just that because of how our society works, this is something Trump can't just blow off.)

So I get you, you're disillusioned and you already know what time it is. But the society around you is very much pretending that it doesn't; and that gets harder and harder to do the more blatantly obviously illegal shit these guys do and use their power to avoid accountability for
Again, just, not replying is always an option - you don't care; cool. Yesterday I didn't care. But now that I understand the scope of the scandal, I think it's clearly dangerous for the regime. And so does the regime

I get what you're saying; they've ALREADY broken the law. But they're doing it to harm people a whole lot Americans do not care about and have been taught to hate for years, decades, even generations. That's fucking awful, but we all know what Amerikkka is, and what it's people are like.
This? Is shit the bipartisan consensus cares about, and isn't just going to let go of because "defending protestors/alleged gang members/trans people is unpopular."
This is a "real" scandal, to the machine.

If you can't hold them accountable in government because they control it all, and you can't hold them accountable in court because they control the top court in the land, then you're pretty much left with holding them accountable in the court of public opinion. And while you might think that's irrelevant, that's precisely what is happening if millions of people are taking to the street demanding the ouster of a political leader which is afaict the only way we get out of this.

I can assure you, the Trump regime cares VERY MUCH about making this go away.
Gabbard is already lying on the Senate floor, saying "there was no classified information on the group chat." Trump is pretending he only heard about this scandal today. Hegseth is giving interviews calling Goldberg a hoaxer and avoiding questions. Fox is trying to frame this as like when you and your buddies do a group chat.
The Pork Reich is scared of this. Way more than the deportation flights even.

I didn't tell you 'this is the scandal that takes the Trump regime down" - but if that's what you're waiting for let me assure you it's not coming and you need a better plan.
In the meantime it's absolutely a good thing that the fascist regime just got caught openly breaking the laws and now have to answer questions about it in public; questions they are ABSOLUTELY FAILING to credibly answer and making themselves look worse every time they try.
If you don't care? Cool. But this is real.
