I've been hearing of Trump's downfall and imprisonment for now well over six years.

After 6 years of Catholic grade school, followed by 6 years of Episcopal high school, I have no trouble believing that half of all Americans are resistant to facts and reason. They will choose blind belief, no matter how ridiculous, over reason. https://youtu.be/d6jL3Z3QJrg #tmcross

I'm guessing all those #climate deniers will soon pivot to "it's God's will".

The sad part is that they can be told the wildest poppycock. With reason and facts deactivated, they've lost the tools allowing them to make good decisions.

Car-bomb killing sows unease among cheerleaders of Putin’s war

The car-bomb killing of Daria Dugina, daughter of Russian nationalist Alexander Dugin, is sowing fear among other cheerleaders of the war in Ukraine.

What have people learned in 6 years, but should have known all along? Justice is a commodity to be bought & sold.

From arrest to arraignment, from bail to representation, from prison to parole: it is never about justice, only about money & race.
