    He’s breaking the law all over the US, when you’re rich… they let you. This is no different. Let’s see some consequences somewhere.

      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.

        If the system were working Cannon could not have effectively blocked Trump’s prosecution. If the system were working the leader of an insurrection against the government of the United States could not have even RUN for President, much less BEEN SWORN IN. If the system were working the personal attorney for the most vile and morally corrupt President in our nation’s history would not have been NONINATED, much less CONFIRMED to a federal appellate court.

        THE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING. Any conclusions predicated on another other assumption are simply wrong.

          He won’t realize until they come for him. People like him are how it happens

          isn’t it disgusting? depressing as hell how these people still feel so confident in “the system.”

          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.

        you’re right that the system is working. it is giving us its ultimate: fascism. this is the intended outcome for profit seeking capitalists. if you mean to say our system of American justice is working… surely you jest.

        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.
