    I get that gradually tightening the screws and doing this extremely methodically will ultimately end up with the most amenable outcome. This is a fundamental test of our legal system and it has to be followed to the letter for it to work.

    That being said that’s pretty fucking small comfort to a country that jails people for decades for possessing a plant that is legal in many states and yet won’t hold accountable a man who we witnessed stirring up a mob to attack the fucking captial building on live television. He’s a cult leader that is given a chance to speak on a national media stage again stirring up his base until they storm the capital again.

        True, but Trump is old. It’s not over, but it likely is for Trump. Someone else will be waiting to take his place though.

      Do you think the country that allows slavery and legalized bribery will make the right choice in terms of justice? The world isn’t holding its breath.
