  • I agree that justice seems out of reach: many of the perpetrators are ultra wealthy who are apparently above the law. Even if Trump were prosecuted, he likely would be able to delay it beyond his remaining life

    But these villains don’t act on their own. They’re supported by legions of opportunists who believe an evil sponsor makes them above the law as well. That’s where the opportunity lies. If those minions and those enriching themselves and those offering bribes face actual justice, maybe it will have a deterrent effect next time. It’s not justice but maybe the best opportunity to restore law and prevent the next attempt at tyranny

    For the wealthy sponsors, perhaps the best opportunity is prosecuting bribery. While there have always been too many loopholes for the wealthy, they really seem to be getting careless with their bribes. It’s not good business when the dictator-wannabe won’t shut up about being bribed

    But in this specific case, those directly responsible for false investigation and civil rights violations should be brought to justice …. In 2.5 years, since we know presidential pardons are for sale and they have no shame in who they pardon






  • Far better. Something like 12 million people got health insurance who didn’t have it before (compared to the millions who lost health insurance now), there were standards to ensure plans actually covered common medical issues (also no longer true), and it was subsidized by income to be far more affordable than the true cost. Yes it also had clauses to better support medical providers (including rural hospitals that are now closing) while insurance remained profitable. It was far better than what we had and the hellhole we’re jumping back into.






  • Same here. He may be spoiled that I have gigabit fiber, Ethernet to every room, and gigabit WiFi. Multi-gig switches are starting to be affordable and claim I should get several gig without even upgrading my existing cat5e …… soon

    So far I’ve let him deal with it - he’s an adult now, technically. But it’s getting to be time to see if I can do any better
