This article makes the case that New Mexico has sufficient public evidence, today, to open a criminal investigation into Attorney General Todd Blanche for bribery of a witness, tampering with evidence, and conspiracy, and that opening one requires nothing but a decision by elected officials who answer to the public.

    They keep thumbing their nose at you americans and still you do nothing. 35% of you think they are doing great. Didnt you cry to keep weapons so you could stand against a corrupt government? so here you have even more evidence of corruption. Now where is your NRA?

      Fwiw, I’d imagine of the people that were pushing hard in support of the 2A, most but not all we’re conservative. Of those 35% you referenced, I bet almost all of those contribute to that group of hard fast 2A supporters. There is a large portion of us that didn’t vote for this, don’t support 2A, and hate the current state of affairs.

      The NRA has been in support of Trump. They have had their own corruption issues. One of the state AGs went after them. The unfortunate fact is that lobbyists have loud megaphones on the internet and like the rest of us, anonymous usernames.

      Not sure what you expect us to do? Citizens arrest of Blanche?

      Also, the people that clamored for having an unchecked arsenal are generally the types that would love to be drafted into death squads for Donnie and so they probably really wanted the weapons for such a scenario.

      They don’t give a flying fuuuuck about the rule of law, freedom, or the Constitution.

    Instead he gets to be the one to put us in prison and he’ll even make us pay for it. People are not mad enough.

    Sounds like an automatic pardon to me.

    It’s not like these guys experience consequences.

    So you mean to tell me a blatantly corrupt business person who somehow sleezed his way into the highest government position based on bullshit corruption racism, and has done nothing but blatantly, publicly perform extensive corruption in every aspect facing zero repercussions…appointed his personal lawyer to the highest chair possible just shy of the SCOTUS, and said lawyer has been exposed to have abused and corrupted every aspect of his job as a lawyer?

    If you were to ask me rank this in how shocked I am in this scenario on a scale of one to ten, I’d rank this about a -12

    Elected officials do not in fact answer to the public. It was always a bit of a sham to get the pacivity of a democratically sated populace while maintaining effective aristocracy, but even that is obviously over. Advertising has become too advanced and your social reproductive apparatus (education) too degraded.

    You will need to do real democracy, or admit you’re just slaves.

    And you’re Americans, so I know how much you like your slavery.
