Release the Trump/Epstein files
- The trump administration is never going to release anything harmful to the trump administration.
  At this point, not releasing the files is the smoke screen for all the other shitty stuff they're doing.
  
  Yes, but bringing attention to it might help the midterms. Maybe? I hope
- Not that I disagree with you, but I do honestly think this stuff is more important.
Thank you for your service. Now get the fuck out! /s
- Why the /s if it's pretty much true.
  
  Just so you know that those are not my feelings. Just an observation. But I take your point, for sure.
- Common story when you look for it
- Given he's most likely Muslim, I wonder who he supported? Just kidding! We know they are all one issue voters and hate gay people more than being secure in their own homes!
if we can’t make it so paying taxes grants instant citizenship why the fuck can we not at least have it so military service does? oh right. where’s the profit in that.
- Serving in the military does actually have an expedited path to naturalization. https://www.uscis.gov/military/naturalization-through-military-service
  But, this fascist regime doesn't give a fuck about anything except hatred and cruelty.
Every single word that comes out of a military recruiter’s mouth is a flat-out lie. Including “service guarantees citizenship”.
- The only good bug is a dead bug!
  
  Would you like to know more?
- They never once said service guarantees citizenship.
  That's from Starship Troopers, a movie that I did not watch until after I was out of the military. It's one of my favorites.

Reminds me of pre-existing medical conditions back in the day where they would deny a woman cancer treatment because she forgot to tell them about a yeast infection they had a decade ago.
- Remember all the manufactured panic about DEATH PANELS from the ACA? Turns out they were right about the death panels, just that the actual death panels are the insurance companies they forced us to keep in the equation.
  The citizenry need our own death panels, like a 12 Luigi tribunal meting justice on behalf of the afflicted.
  
  For real, how dare a panel of experts decide whether you will get treatment or not.
  Instead let's have a giant health insurance company's AI decide.
There should be a time limit on this sort of thing. There's a time limit on bringing most criminal charges. There's even a time limit on property ownership disputes.
