@ChrisMayLA6 #USA has always been a #gangsterstate. Even Saint #Obama with his Nobel Peace Prize in the bag, spent Tuesday evenings choosing names from his drone-murder hitlist, jailed Chelsea Manning for whistleblowing, trashed Libya to grab oil, and smashed the protest at #StandingRock. #Clinton screwed #Haiti.

Murica varies the degree and visibility of its gangsters. But it never ever abandons #gangsterism.

Much as I enjoy legal anslyses by @davidallengreen, his liberal formalism is naive.
