Thanos 🇸🇪 🇬🇷Let me see if I understood this correctly, Trump’s America can remove bounties from the heads of three senior Taliban officials in Afghanistan but kidnaps, imprison and deport university students for something they posted in their social media or texted in a private conversation!
WOW!!! The land of free!!!
Andii אַנדִֽי''Trump and Musk and their allies want you to think they are [winning].
I do not see that as a minor distinction. Trump is a salesman, as is Musk, and they are both trying to sell America on being an authoritarian state — but they can’t do it unless we allow them to do so.
The courts are not the solution, although courts play a key role. This requires, instead, a whole-of-democracy solution. "

bsmall2> .. fewer than half of Americans believe that the US is democratic; is a democracy. The reasons given against the US being a democracy are 1) corruption (73%), followed by 2) corporate control of the political system (72%). In other words, the reasons for this missing democracy are economic.

No
No
And resoundingly NO !!!
He has done SO much harm to so many ppl - not least of all the MILLION ppl who died due to his deplorable response to covid - and harmed the US system of government, harmed the judiciary and Constitution, that he MUST be held accountable for his crimes.
Others, complicit, have been to jail; he must too. He can't be pardoned bc YET AGAIN he is holding democracy to ransom.
First he'll go through the courts.
Then try for a vote in the Senate.
Then incite civil uprising of the MAGAs.
"If you don't pardon me, I'll incite civil unrest and a coup"
NOT ACCEPTABLE.
