Robert ReichThose who argue that Trump should not be criminally liable because no president in American history has been criminally liable overlook the fact that no president in history has staged an attempted coup to change the outcome of an election.
Kay Dub@rbreich People act like nowhere in the world has a president ever abused powers to stay in office. It’s not like the scenario has NEVER happened ever in the history of existence of people and governments. It’s happened multiple times in recent years! Just switch the country - PEOPLE, human beings, are pretty much the same.
Harald K.@kaydubatl @rbreich Recently read up on what Yeltsin did in 1993. Yeah. Presidential systems always seem to reel from one constitutional crisis to another.
@Harald_Korneliussen @rbreich indeed that seems to be the case. Even here. Anything can happen when “power” is involved. It seems to be the nature of humanity.
