Left-leaning Political Independent in NW Iowa. I support equal rights for everyone. Capital punishment is state-sponsored murder. Republicans seem to be hell-bent on destroying our government, and forcing the U.S.A. to its knees.

If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

Opinion: The U.S. judiciary has always had its share of problems, including localized corruption and discriminatory prosecutions. Trump wants to take judicial corruption to a much higher level, one in which his wishes and needs are paramount. He's a crook.
