Regardless of the outcome in the coming election, a new AP-NORC poll shows voters from both major political parties want the next Congress to focus on making life more affordable and ending the war in Iran, while fewer are looking for an emphasis on Donald Trump — whether it’s investigating him or supporting his agenda.
The results suggest that voters are ready for Congress to tackle core issues, despite Trump’s centrality in the midterm campaign.
About 8 in 10 registered voters, including a large majority of Republicans and Democrats, say lowering the cost of living should be one of the highest priorities for the session coming up, the survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds.
This thread is full of people who actually think laws apply to rich people. No wonder y’all ain’t commies.
You want accountability, the only kind of court that would ever do anything to them would be goddamn revolutionary tribunals. And you can say that unrealistic, and it is, but it’s more realistic than thinking the existing political and judicial system would ever take real, meaningful action against a former president.

There was no justice for Bush’s crimes, and there was no justice for Trump’s first term. You’re kidding yourself if you think it’ll be different this time.
