Trump administration declares brass instruments a national security threat (www.classicfm.com)

The administration argues that relying on imported metals could reduce demand for American-made materials, leaving the US with less domestic production and fewer critical supplies in the event of a national emergency.

And because brass instruments are made mostly from copper and zinc, they have been swept into the same net as fire extinguishers, floor safes, electrical cables, welding-machine parts, and tanker trailers.

A national security threat created by Republicans decades ago by ~~allowing~~ encouraging the export of American jobs to foreign countries in order for corporations to take the lazy path towards improving profits via slave labor freely available in other countries.

The entire GOP establishment and their corporate benefactors sold out our futures for a quick and easy profit. They should be held criminally responsible for destroying this country for their own gain.

I doubt they will ever be held criminally responsible, but perhaps you could hold them gravitationally responsible? Maybe by dropping them off a building?

Who would hold them responsible? They won't even publish documents thats even steps before actually getting accused and prosecuted and punished?
The kid rapist elite has nothing to be afraid of. The DOJ has no power over them, while genuine US citizens are getting executed in daylight on the streets and human beings are held in worst condition than cattle.

Sorry there's just not enough time in our 24-hour news cycle to cover the pedophile ring holding the richest country in the world hostage. We have to run these stories about Fauci. Then we have to cover every stupid fucking thing Donald Trump says but NOT the fact that he rapes kids
