    No one is “letting him”. There are dozens of active cases against him and his administration, right now. The process takes time, and the media never covers it adequately…but the system is still working.

      That’s entirely the point. Legal channels are too show to counteract everything at once. See Bannon’s “stress test”.

        Dude. That’s literally the same argument Trump was using for why he should be allowed to just deport people without due process. This is not the “solution” you think it is.

            No, I’m saying that the basic principles of law and justice shouldn’t be abandoned just because there are people in the world who try and game the system.

            It seems like everyone these days, agrees with Trump’s vision of what the law should look like. My side gets a pass…and everyone I think is “bad”, gets their rights taken away. People just seem to disagree about who should be punished without due process.

            It’s not a “moral high ground” issue. It’s basic common sense. You want a legal system that’s based on facts? You want people’s rights to be respected? You can’t have those things, if you throw them all out the window anytime things don’t work out exactly the way you want them to.

            Those are the things you have to fight to protect. If every law that got broken, meant the law was pointless…then we would have no laws.

              This is not what’s happening here. Nobody (on the left) is giving any side a “pass”. What the fuck is this strawman?

        So…do you agree with Trump when he tries to suspend or ignore the legal process? Is that your solution? Just, “as long as it’s us doing it, it’s fine”?

        It’s kind of bizarre to advocate for the very same shit he’s pulling, as a defense against the kind of shit he keeps trying to pull.
