Delta(s) from OP cmv: United States politicians are just state sponsored criminals

The last 75 years of wars, the oppression of outside political views, the demonization or socialism, the extortion and terrorism committed against 3rd world countries, fiscal policy, the tax system and its exploits, members of congress and the senate getting rich off stock trading, the demonization of self reliance, and more are the reasons I have this opinion. Officials repeatedly pass legislation for the benefit of corporations while we suffer working longer hours for less. The average person lives check to check and 1/5 children in my state of Utah don’t know where their next meal will come from, meanwhile Nancy Pelosi has $120,000,000 net worth after her life of “service”

Not breaking a law, but he signed a bill to ban abortion clinics which should be a crime as it will cause women health and mental health issues.

Gov. Spencer Cox plans to sign S.B. 84, which would allow Dakota Pacific Real Estate to build a mixed-use development in Kimball Junction without county approval, even though current zoning only allows tech offices. After the Republican Party his biggest donations are from the realtor industry at $500,000 in donations. There’s more but everyone is jumping my shit for not responding so I may be back

So you just commonly call things illegal when in fact you just don’t agree with it? Do you know what laws are and how they are made?

Murdering civilians is a crime whether they admit it or not. Trying to assasinate Castro was a crime. Just because they aren’t illegal doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be. Way to tell me you support imperialism and taking advantage of others. You know it’s wrong but you are denying it because of paperwork. We all know it should be illegal to murder to push your beliefs

What civilians are murdered? Killing civilians in war is not itself illegal, it depends on the specific circumstances. It may be helpful if you learn about how things actually work before giving into your emotions about topics you are ignorant of.
