There is absolutely no evidence to suggest the US Government serves it's people.
A government that does not serve it's people is not trustworthy.
It's just that simple.

You’d think it’s that easy. Had something fairly good. Corrupted and infiltrated by groups of scum bags.
Almost all three letter agencies have serious issues regarding constitutional boundaries, and shady dealings.

Freedom isn't free, and American society has become lazy, disassociated with holding it's leadership accountable for their actions, and dirt-poor.
Freedom has a price we've decided to stop making payments on. The end result is inevitable.

With all the shenanigans being played by the FBI, NSA, ect , you'd be a moron to trust anything coming out of those traitors mouths.

I would say most people on Voat have known about the corruption for years. Now we have solid, in-your-face proof and the sheeples still won’t listen.

They are trying to listen, but both parties, the agencies themselves and the MSM keep drowning it out with their fits of screaming. Every politician who is complaining about Trump in Helsinki is being blackmail by the Intelligence Community. They got nothing on Trump so they are tryng to manufacture it with this Russia BS.

Because the universe is too absurd for them to truly know the things they think they know in a way they could actually act in a way that would make a meaningful difference in the grand scheme of things.
You can always trust an idiot to have prolonged bouts of genius and bureaucracies to have prolonged bouts of effectiveness, but you can never trust an idiot to be effective for long or a bureaucracy to be genius for long.

No. Never. They lie. It is what they do, lie.
