Hey, there's a brand new tune by a new band called Buffalo Springfield that's relevant for the situation this country is in. 😉
It's called For What It's Worth.
Check out the lyrics.

Richard Nixon resigned August 9, 1974... An era when there were consequences for presidents being corrupt criminals.

When Putin comes to Alaska, he will be the second world leader to visit Trump with an outstanding International Criminal Court warrant for his arrest for war crimes. The other is Netanyahu. Wonder why Trump hasn't turned them over, as international law requires...

Putin and Trump agreed to meet in Alaska because Trump doesn't know it's part of the United States and Putin is going to try to buy it back.

The destruction and politicization of US science continues to accelerate as another critical database is destroyed by Trump and his cult. #climate

Trump also announced plans to re-edit the Bible, the Constitution, and the Gettysburg Address to correct their wokenesses and mistakes.

The Trump administration has not only deleted all previous National #Climate Assessment reports from government websites and fired the scientists working on the next iteration, but now say they're going to go back and rewrite the previous reports, all of which were written by real scientists and independently reviewed.
This is scientific sabotage and a rewriting of accepted history and science.

JD Vance had the #water level of a lake manipulated to accommodate his vacation plans.
It's not always the big corruption stories that rankle.

"Le rapport du département de l’énergie est utilisé pour renverser la régulation des gaz délétères pour le climat, mais ce n’est pas un rapport scientifique, prévient l’hydrologue et climatologue américain Peter Gleick, membre de l’Académie des sciences américaine. C’est un document politique et pseudo-scientifique farci de fausses références, de données judicieusement sélectionnées, de présentations trompeuses des faits et d’affirmations erronées."
