The Banana Republic That Is the United States
A reader notes:
Trump is responsible for a ‘bloody insurrection’ (per John Boehner). The Republican former Speaker of the House blames Trump and his lies about election fraud for the January 6th riot at the Capitol, writing that the former President “incited that bloody insurrection for nothing more than selfish reasons, perpetuated by the bulls*** he’d been shoveling since he lost a fair election the previous November.”
Well these are the allegations, and there seems to be an inordinate amount of evidence in support of them.
If any other American had done anything remotely like this, he’d have been in prison within days of when the proof came to light. Yet it remains in question if Trump will ever spend a minute of his life behind bars.
This doesn’t happen in countries in the which the rule of law is meaningful.
Wrong.
the Laws are meaningfull – they just have to be applied uniformly — starting with the Supreme Court — even if they have to be physically dragged out of there.
