I believe what Trump and his filth are doing now is an example of what happens

when the rich in a country are given different treatment by the law, than those with less income.
If the U.S. is ever going to work, the laws will have to apply 100% equally to the rich, the Presidents, the senators, the police, the CEO's...as they do to the poor.

If the President of the U.S. breaks the law, and is found guilty then he goes to prison—no Gerald Ford pardons.
I say take away the Presidential pardon, anyway. It's way too useful to the likes of Trump (and this will happen again if it's not fixed).

Okay. That's my rant today.

Yes, pardons and preferential treatment are why this situation exists. It mofo tRump & his coconspirators KNEW they would be publicly hanged, this would not be occurring.

No more double standard! That should be one of Joe's mottos!

Is what happens when fear, ignorance, and hate, along with white grievance politics, are sanctioned as ‘legitimate’ political discourse and debate.
