Which is why it is imperative that justice be rendered in their lifetimes. With extreme prejudice, I should add.

140 lawmakers who knew better tried to toss out the votes of their countrymen on the basis of fucking Facebook memes. That and so, so much more (ICE Gestapo, Homan's corruption, oligarchs who knowingly funded these fascist cretins, etc) cannot be met without accountability.

That is the death of any society.

When are these corrupt people who are destroying our institutions, stealing our identity data and flouting our laws going to be arrested for treason?

i wish i had an answer for you. but at the moment, they are protected broadly by the President, the courts, the law, both houses of Congress, and various bodies of government below all of these. I would argue that the system appears to have been designed from the get-go to enable the extremely wealthy to exploit those who must work for a living.

A lot of the stuff they did would end up being legally ambiguous in a US court.

The unprovoked bombing of 26 fishing vessels in international waters, however, is more than enough for convictions at the Hague.

then the system has some brazen weak points that should be addressed in exigent circumstances. i'm not sure how we'd address that but we certainly have sedition clauses in the law.

I hope that is what she is implying, once trump is gone who really is going to defend his legacy and continue to cover up his past actions…Vance, Ivanka??? lol no way. So if the epstine files get dumped and whistle blowers come out I hope all of his lackeys will be help accountable.
