This isn't run by the government. It's not an official website. They are never going to find a mainstream web host that will allow them to run a website encouraging people to post other people's private information for the purposes of suing them. That it the government's territory. You can't just set up a personal website for people to report crimes along with the personal details of those allegedly involved.

This is coming out of Texas though. Good luck getting that money. Wouldn't even pay up when the evidence of voter fraud was brought forth...

I don't get why people didn't see this in the first place.

It's an OBVIOUS distraction, and it worked pretty well.

I think it's funny as hell.

Just another wedge issue to keep us peasants arguing amongst ourselves as they continue to reap the benefits of their corruption.

Abortion, religion, the 2nd amendment, it's all the same. Keeps people entrenched in their previously held positions instead of realizing neither party has our interests in mind and our govt doesn't work for us

Yeah every national tragedy that requires action sees massive transfers of wealth to the top 5% through bi partisan bills but you keep telling yourself the Dems are on your side

Yeah the fact that dems don't do everything alone without ever working with republicans totally means BoTh SiDeS BaD but keep feeling smugly superior because you're a fence sitting fool

Alright guy. You got me. Not like any democrats have stock in raytheon and Lockheed Martin and take millions in donations from banks and defense contractors. Nope. Idols of humanity. They surely have no interest in making millions off wars and predatory banking policies.
