    The current regime will collapse, one way or another, sooner or later. Then we’ll get them all in front of judge and/or jury and it’ll all be slam dunk thanks to the material they themselves provided.

    Of course I’m hoping this all happens before any of them dies of old age.

      Their goal is to make sure that when they go down there is no one left to hold them accountable. They’re making sure everyone else goes down before them. This regime will never be held accountable, Trump should be in jail right now and the government and the courts all decided that would be unfair to the poor orange billionaire who never emotionally matured beyond a whiny spoiled child who is bitter that the other kids don’t like him and is determined to make them pay instead of learning how to get along and share his toys.

      I don’t have your faith.

      Nothing in the last decade has given any indication that the US has the ability or inclination to deal with this.

        Cowardly delayed until he got re-elected, but the USA came this close 🤏 to jailing Trump, and even so, he is a felon now. That’s not nothing.

        But please don’t call my glass-not-completely-empty attitude “faith”

          The American system has the president be the ultimate authority. In order to face any kind of justice someone would have to deny that authority.

          He is in effect a dictator, as bad as in Russia or North Korea, someone would have to have the balls and the executive authority to be able to hold him to account. Right now he is the president, the ultimate executive authority. Someone somewhere would have to control enough firepower to be able to overcome that executive authority.

          Who is going to challenge the ultimate authority in the universe, and have the power to haul him in front of the jury that isn’t rigged, and have that jury actually capable of rendering a verdict?

          How does any of the above happen, when the president of the United States may as well be the god emperor of all human activity?

      But didn’t we all say the same things the first time around? Dead to say, but nothing stuck then, and nothing will stick now.
