NEW -- Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska -- indicted by the US on federal criminal charges for evading sanctions -- bragged about helping to kidnap 350 Ukrainian children from Bakhmut.

This was a war crime.

All of this is why it’s vitally important that Trump not just be indicted, not just be found guilty, but that he PAY by serving a serious, lengthy prison sentence. Otherwise, his supporters will receive exactly the message Trump has been sending them all along: Special people, people like Trump, can always walk away. …
Trump himself keeps complaining that if the government can come after him, they can come after anyone, and in a way that's true: If Trump has to pay, then his promise to his supporters falls apart. Only by seeing that Trump receives punishment on the scale of anyone else charged with the same crimes can his supporters be convinced that their bully can’t protect them. That the next pardon won’t have their name on it. That eventually, everyone has to pay for their actions. …
What line do Republicans have to cross to be universally acknowledged as enemies of the US & its citizens? When do we revoke their license to oppress people in this country under the color of authority? When do we stop paying them salaries to dismantle our govt?
The problem with voting for fascists is that you may agree with them now, but when you no longer agree with them there is no way to vote them out. They have made sure of that.
When it can be proven that a voting map results in election results that disproportionately favor the party w/fewer registered voters in a state, those voting maps should be deemed contrary to the goal of a functioning democracy & tossed out. No one should be gaming the system.

Banks should not be casinos.

They should not be gambling with your deposits to pump up their profits, only to be bailed out when they get into trouble.

We need to make banking boring again.
