So…just like the Mueller report, Trump’s crimes will be documented in detail within, and absolutely nothing will be done to deliver justice for those crimes. Great.
Yeah, but now you'll know what he did! And what he got away with.
It's like bragging. People go to jail forever for some of this kind of shit, and he's just gonna waltz on into the White House again. Hell, people go to jail forever for less.
One tier justice system. Sure.
Just like Reagen, Nixon, and every other republican president. Hell, democrats too. At this point all of washington seems complicit.
This is the problem with doctrine such as Obama’s “we don’t look backward, we look forward.” Sometimes you actually have to confront history in order to learn from it and not be doomed to repeat it.
In modern times we should have charged Regean for treason with Iran-Contra. North fell on the sword but the people should have demanded the President's head.
Nixon should have been arrested for watergate. Clinton should have been arrest for lying about Monica and Bush for Iraq invasion.
We should have an international board for our war crimes but the dollar is a strong tool. Even Obama should answer for the murder in Pakistan.
The Iran-contra thing is pretty relevant now especially. Republicans working with a foreign government to sabotage diplomatic hostage negotiations in order to change the outcome of the next election in their favor…pretty despicable, and a tactic they clearly haven’t moved far beyond.
Good point about the Dems too. Extrajudicial killings of American citizens isn’t very well grounded in rule of law and justice, same can be said of Biden subverting the ICC to provide cover for the Israeli war crimes. Sadly it’s all lead to a very dark place for the world.
