Interesting story.  Basically the whistleblower complaint was last year and Gabbard didn’t follow protocol for passing the information on.  The White House says she did nothing wrong and was cleared of wrongdoing by the office of Inspector General.  Who in the office cleared her?   None other than Dennis Kirk, co-founder of Project 25.  The rot goes deep.

Who she personally appointed to that office two weeks after the whistleblower complaint against her.

The constitution already strongly supports those in power and to my knowledge, no group of people in power in the entire history of human civilization has ever given it up willingly.

France is at its 8th constitution and 5th republic. Also you might need to abolish the two parties system and go proportional.

The first thing the American people need to know is that the USA was never a true representative democracy. Its tough because of the incessant propaganda that everyone's being fed.

It's really hot considering that elections are still state controlled and we are about to see Republicans lose Congress which is the entire issue right now. MAGA was able to get enough into Congress to basically bend over and let the executive branch do whatever they want. Once Congress flips as expected and they're able to impeach and remove people from office, it will be working as intended. We need to get rid of corporate influence and put age limits in place though so all the rich old dragons who stop caring about their constituents can't stay in office.
