Justice in America has always been applied in direct proportion to the person's bank account. That is why you never see a wealthy person having that "inspirational" story of being wrongly convicted, only to be exonerated decades later. That only happens to the poor.

The party that let an insurrection, classified document theft, Supreme Court bribery and the threatening of witnesses, jurors and judges families, go unpunished the last time they held power,has thoughts on accountability.

In terms of cold-blooded murders, the Trump administration has already leapt past Jeffrey Dahmer (17) into Ted Bundy territory (30+).

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

There is no doubt that maga is a racist movement. Trump's support amongst his base is stronger now than it was in his first term. Why is that?? Because he has delivered on the only promise that they really ever cared about and that is terrorizing brown people.

Unless Donald Trump starts putting poor people in his administration, nobody will go to jail.

If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, that’s not progress. If you pull it all the way out, that’s not progress. The progress comes from healing the wound that the blow made. They haven’t begun to pull the knife out. They won’t even admit the knife is there. — Malcolm X

It's no fucking mystery, it's great for the elite and sucks for everyone else.

Has he mentioned Trump by name yet? If not, I don't care what he has to say.

It is the justice system I recognize. The one that would rather let democracy die, than do the unthinkable and hold wealthy people to the same standard of the law that the rest of us are held to.

Things are great.... For the elites that put together the plan for the administration.

Rick of this Shit @sameastheold.bsky.social · 3d

That's weird because I see them enriching themselves and not giving a flying fuck what happens to the rest of us, as politicians are want to do.

Did people actually believe Trump during his campaign, or did they just love the permission he gave them to be racist?

Trump on loop: “They’re stealing your jobs.”

If that were true, why aren’t Americans lining up to take those so-called “stolen” jobs?

Every Trump voter needs to see this.

I'm starting to wonder if congressional GOP members have seen some of what is in the Epstein files and she is planning her exit strategy.
