I think they act with the full knowledge that, if anyone tries to hold them accountable, the orange felon will pardon them.

DO YOU THINK THEY'RE ORDERED TO BE VIOLENT?
#ICELawlessness is rampant.

Venezuelans are being shackled & flown to Guatanamo.
Trump said ‘Gitmo’ was for the “worst of the worst”. Well, many have no criminal record at all.
One person’s crime was riding a bike on the wrong side of the road.

Having covered Tesla when it first started I can say unequivocally that company would never have existed without government subsidies. NPR on the other hand gets 98-99% of its revenue from non-governmental sources. But go off, Goebbels.
