I'll never get over the fact that a president who tried to overthrow the government wasn't immediately imprisoned and is somehow allowed to run again.
@DrJackBrown Hes not. According to the 14th amendment he committed insurrection and is ineligible to serve in office
@CaptMorgan @DrJackBrown He was never convicted. Part of what makes US wealth tick is that it's so hard to prove someone guilty... if they have the funds to hire fightin' lawyers. Al Capone was only pegged for tax evasion largely, IMHO, because he faced public lawyers (not a well-paid gig). Bankman-Fried, Madoff, Holmes face plaintiffs wealthier than they were. https://www.capitalisnt.com/episodes/how-big-law-firms-shape-capitalism-with-david-enrich
How Big Law Firms Shape Capitalism, With David Enrich | Capitalisn't

After previously exploring the worlds of 'consultants for sale' and 'scientists for sale,' Luigi and Bethany turn their attention to another broken system of 'enablers' - the world of lawyers for sale. With award-winning investigative journalist David Enrich, they discuss David's latest book, "Servants of the Damned: Giant Law Firms, Donald Trump, and the Corruption of Justice." Enrich presents several case studies showing how 'Big Law' firms have used their wealth and influence to capture the justice system, serving the interests of their wealthy clients at the expense of ordinary Americans. With Bethany and Luigi, he discusses: How can we restore the integrity of our legal institutions? What are the broader implications for the rule of law in a society dominated by economic and political interests?

@janisf @CaptMorgan @DrJackBrown If he was never convicted of insurrection, use the second word….

“shall have engaged in insurrection or REBELLION against the same,”

I don’t know about you, but I know what I SAW with my own eyes!

Common sense MUST be restored, people! 🤯

@leswarden
Restored? It can be argued, easily, that Hitler modelled Nazism after US racism. Brits have long held they can "take care of" land, artifacts, religion, you name it, better than the people who'd been managing just fine for 6000 years.

We're not restoring anything. A new generation is just now figuring out how social power works, and how evil and gullible humainty has been.
