on a daily basis the current US president commits treason against the people of the united states, which im pretty sure even presidential immunity doesnt protect against. Just one of the shady dealings with foreign monarchies, laudering their bribes directly to the president thru billion dollar purchases of worthless crypto "assets" ala world liberty financial; should land the president and his entire family in capit…
When you view it through the lens of Graft First, everything makes sense. All the seeming stupidity, ineptitude, and hypocrisy is just to make a buck. Governing doesn't even appear to be an afterthought. I still haven't figured out how he's profiting from Trump Accounts yet. Kick backs I suppose.
The stupidity and ineptitude is still real. These are a gang of nepo-babies who have mastered the art of failing up.

Trump Inc is a white-collar crime family which is why he pardons every white-collar crime they can find
BTW you know those classified records he took to Mar-a-lago that almost put him in prison?
They were all the records about his family businesses, it's documented, they were unique investigation records and he was trying to end all investigations

Given that the President is a convicted felon who maintains that what he did was fine, and that he has pardoned thousands of unrepentant criminals, and that the vast majority of his party enthusiastically endorsed all this, I would say "pro-crime" is an understatement.
_strongly_ pro-crime
Strong for crime, strong for the causes of crime.

not by the state, however. important distinction.
Now that justice by official channels is closed, one wonders if a grieving parent will seek it out by unofficial means
It will take a bit more in general. I don't think we're at the point of Blair Mountain yet, but if things don't change, then it's coming.

#29Ironically, it's not just the ineffectuallity of the DOJ (intentional, in that case), it's the ineffectuality of the political competition, the Democratic Party, to hold the GOP accountable.
The Dems inability to cash in on these things is so absurd that people just accept it: The Trump administration and GOP are letting a company get away with contaminating baby formula. That should be repeated by the Dems from now until the end of time. Everyone should associate Trump and the GOP with it.
But as always, the Dems will not make Trump and the GOP pay any price, no matter how awful events are (and this one is hardly the worst), and so why would they stop doing these things?
Part of the duty of the political competition is to hold the other party responsible. It is also very obvious and basic self-interest.

Hey, here in America, sometimes CEOs get shot as well.
> here in America, sometimes CEOs get shot as well No, they don't. The UnitedHealth dude who got shot had a CEO title, but Thompson was ultimately a middle manager. The actual CEO of UnitedHealth Group–the one who signs off on its financial statements and fields quarterly calls–and the billionaire owners were fine. Which explains, in part, why nothing changed after the shooting.
You're implying that something would have changed if a different person was shot instead. Structural problems don't work like that. The individual players have the incentives created for them by the system. To change it you need to change the game, not the players.
