And just like that, Donald Trump gets away with his insurrection. Something that would have never happened in any other democratic country on earth. Astonishing.

The January 6th case against Donald Trump is dismissed without prejudice by Judge Chutkan.

Did a great job on his behalf.
"Dismissal without prejudice" is a legal term that means a case has been temporarily (!) dismissed, but can be refiled at a later date. This can happen in both civil and criminal cases.
"guidelines" NOT LAWS the DOJ has. Can't prosecute the sitting president. Can't have a trial too close to an election. Can't prosecute a former president. Why? Some of the biggest Crooks in our lifetimes have been presidents or former presidents. They say that no one's above the law.
Those are just off the top of my head.
I believe that the wealth gap and the rise of the ultra rich, they end up possessing too much power.
Pay to play, corporate donors, legalized bribery that would be illegal in any other industry.
It's really defeating.
The new POL gov. puts a lot of effort into investigating and punishing misdeeds and crimes of the populists.
Some people just don't care, apathy - some feel it doesn't matter who is in power, some people work multiple jobs just to survive and don't have time...
Governments need to make it as easy as possible to vote for the best turnout, imo.
I'm Canadian, btw.
If you disagreed with the American Exceptionalism concept you were unpatriotic and not worthy.
Well… I guess I’m unpatriotic and unworthy.
It will catch up to him.
I gave you a follow 👣
I just hope to Yahweh there's still a functional justice system left by then.

But one thing we haven't considered is the very real possibility Trump will commit an even more egregious crime during his second term that makes this one pale in comparison...
People voted for him, voted Uncommitted, didn't vote. It's astonishing, only if you're new or if you didn't pay attention in 2000, 2010, 2016.
If you think Biden shifted 'to the Right ' it's because you are listening to pundits and not paying attention to his policies.
So instead we have Bush II and Trump.
Republicans vote in election. That's why they get the policies they want.
Our govt reps are a steaming cesspool of cowards and crooks while our families and neighbors are now enemies. America is Broken 😭
"Charges dropped against failed bank robber after he is appointed Manager of the same bank."
Don't you EVER say, America is the greatest Nation on earth and that shining beacon on the hill....It is a grotesque LIE!
Non voters didn't. It's apathy and arrogance.
Instead of screwing Bernie in 2015, he would've wiped the floor with trump and this would be the end of his second term. I believe that, wholeheartedly.
Bernie was the change people are looking for, the DNC were having no part in that.
You have show up and do the work. You have to vote in primaries and off year elections and definitely on year elections.
Any legacy Bernie Sanders had is now tarnished. If his voters wanted progress, they would have voted for it.
Instead, they stayed home or voted Trump.
Disgusting.
Along with the fascism to protect it.

The have no fear of public opinion or their own they’ll hurt.
People are ready for logistically doable actions; strategically, regionally.
Eg, women stay home for a day, repeat prn. There’s a potential lever to demonstrate.
Prudent voices needed.
We’ve truly been high jacked by the wealthy propagandists who want everything for themselves, including the Supreme Court
Is this how democracy dies?
Something has to give.
I feel it in my bones.
Only 4.8% of all voters actually voted for MAGA fascism.
Sure, they voted to lower grocery prices, but the rest wasn’t a dealbreaker.
But of course, everyone else knows Trump is not known for his sense of humour.
The US has never experienced collective punishment. I don't believe a lot of Americans really understand what they have voted for.
So, yeah, of course he'll lie. It's his nature. A lot of the time he's lying to himself, too.
The chances of him raising grocery prices- 100%
I hope it was worth it.
And angry.
Don’t mind me. After today, I am officially a pessimist.
like with what non existent atmosphere would you like them to exist?
Once again, people don't show up to protect their own future, let alone, rights for others.
