They emptied our entire record surplus - Trillions of dollars - All of it.  in less than one year.  Pocketed it into their private accounts, through corrupt/crony, and illegal, no-bid contracts, and tax-cuts that, in reality, only benefit the extremely well off, therefore creating the largest deficit in our history, to the tune of 9+ trillion dollars, and growing.  A bill they will not ever have to pay, but all the rest of us - we in the lower 98.5% - will have to pay back.  They got the money - All of it - And will not have to pay a penny back. -- Got away with it.  And are still getting away with it.

They openly began an illegal war of occupation on a nation that had not attacked us, nor was a threat to us in any way. -- Got away with it.  And are still getting away with it.

They openly took over all of the regulatory agencies with their own ex-CEOs and lobbyists from the extractive, pharma, and ag-chem corporations, et al, openly/sneeringly/purposefully not for the public good, but rather for the protection of their corporations' profits, and the need to control of our regulation of them. -- Got away with it.  And are still getting away with it.

They openly and systematically suppressed public dissent of their actions with open arrogance and smirks.  Created free-speech zones. -- Got away with it.  And are still getting away with it.

They openly and arrogantly suppressed the vote nationally, and are successfully spreading the use of corrupted voting machines into the states. -- Got away with it.  And are still getting away with it.

They openly and blatantly changed our laws, that protected us from the abuses of corporations, abusing our rights and protections within our homes, schools, and work places.  Making the laws instead able to protect the corporations from us. -- Got away with it.  And are still getting away with it.

They openly have, and are, purposefully allowing the destruction of the protection of the Separation of Church and State - Solely for their opportunistic political profit and securing of control of national powers. -- Got away with it.  And are still getting away with it.

They openly, and quite successfully so, are purging our governmental structures of any dissenting voices, even within their own party. -- Got away with it.  And are still getting away with it.

They have openly consolidated the media into the hands of just six corporations, (the infotainment state,) and have given them iron-clad corporate protections from any possible dissenting voice, internal or external. -- Got away with it.  And are still getting away with it.

They openly used extreme, criminal, and obvious, methods to steal a presidential election within the United States, clamped down a media lock-down on any discussion, or investigation, by their journalists, demonized any mention of it as conspiracy theory silliness.  And of the obvious fraud actions taken by their party's sycophants before, and during, the election?  Dismissed out of hand. -- Got away with it.  And are still getting away with it.

Bush, who has never used the veto, has abused "signing statements" 110 times (so far) - With these signing statements he has broken over 750 of our nation's laws - And. . . (wait for it...) -- Got away with it.  And is still getting away with it.

Got away with it.

Still getting away with it.

How much revulsion must one experience,
before one finally realizes one is forced to revolt?
How much more will it take to start even a reluctant revolution?

How long before the anger explodes?

Did I mention...?  They are still getting away with all of it?
