How many laws do they need to break in order for something to actually be done? They are clearly mentally ill and none of them are based in reality, so we need to get them out of office.

None of this is ok and none of this is normal.

Turns out all the people in positions of power who swore an oath to protect our nation are feckless cowards.

The people are going to have to do this or it isn't happening.

They are not mentally ill, they would gladly twist a toddler's neck for a couple bucks. And that's been rewarded in America for centuries.

That is a mental illness. These people have a serious hoarding disorder, and they can't stop accumulating money. They have enough money that neither they, nor their descendants for the next century could possibly spend it all, and yet they will still walk through fire, or hire someone else to, to get even more.

If those people hoarded cats, or rusty cars, or newspapers, or general junk, we would get mental health care for them, and dismantle their collection. Psychopathic Oligarchs are no different. We should involuntarily commit them to mental hospitals to treat their hoarding issues, confiscate the bulk of their treasure, and keep them from rebuilding their fortunes.
