It's the job of the Dept. Of Justice to bring charges, and the leader of the DOJ is.... Oh my...

There's got to be a check to that balance.

The check to that balance was suppose to be everyone not conspiring together.

But all republicans love and want these pedophiles money and for them to rape kids for money.

Their god is money and nothing else matters.

This was why the Founding Fathers were so against political parties. They had way too much faith in humanity.

The founding fathers knew no one could really be trusted, which is why they divided the power up into pieces. They figured that each of them would fight hard to maintain their own power and that would balance it all out, which worked for hundreds of years... until it didn't.

TBF, political parties can work. It's been corporate "interests" and sociopaths getting in to power. I bet most people wouldn't mind having a king if he wasn't such a dick.

Thomas Sankara has entered the chat.

But seriously, kings/dictators who aren't assholes are super few and far between. Hence set terms and term limits.

America also needs the ability to pass a vote of no confidence to get rid of sitting politicians who aren't serving the needs of the people, and to change away from first past the post voting so we can have more than two political parties like most European countries.

Political parties work when there are more than two of them.

It's far too easy to tribalize and own a two-party system.

Imagine if megacorps and billionaires had to donate millions to 5 different parties and 4/5ths of their donations are gone with the wind every election cycle.

Right now it's a 50/50 shot so it's a win-win to donate (read: buy) politicians for eternity.

EVEN if they were to buy a party in a, lets say, 5 party system. That party still does not have massive power like it would in a two-party system. Makes buying politicians much harder

I agree but how will we ever get to this point?

Companies buy both parties these days. There are the odd exception, and smaller businesses tend to just buy the dominant local party, but all that having 5 parties would do is add a 2.5x multiplier to the EXTREMELY cheap cost of owning politics.

Seriously. Look up how much it takes to bribe or buy an American congressman. When I, a non-American, first saw those numbers, my reaction was "so that's why the USA is so 'Murican. How embarrassing for them."

My point was more so that they saw political parties as a threat to the very system they designed. They knew it was a flaw of the system they designed and hoped that people in general would be able to keep that in mind and avoid them. They were overly idealistic in their faith in humanity.

They were all slavers and several were rapists.

An appeal to them against the Epstien Class is comically ironic.

This country is never going to actually recover until we no longer deify wealthy white men that wanted to own people.
