    The world is what we allow it to be made as. You are, of course, free to be as defeatist about this as you want. Doesn’t at all mean I can’t want or expect him to sit in prison.

    And since when is expecting just consequences considered entitlement?

    I, for one, will not abide Trump, Fox News, or any other propaganda machine to eat away at the rule of law just because they or others might think something is unrealistic or unfair. He is guilty of breaking laws — of this and most likely much much more, as the future and trials will ideally prove. It’s long past time he pays for it.

      Our nation has a bad habit of crying and whinging about the unfair things without actually focusing on and addressing the ACTUAL shit that will stop this from happening in the future.

      I am unreasonably irritated with my countrymen and women who are laser-focused on what happens in a case that is only happening because nobody cares about their communities and local elections. Then it’s going to be over and everyone is going to be distracted by next big consequence of our apathy.

      Our emotions and righteous feelings have no bearing on this unless you can focus that emotion on getting better representation in power.

        I don’t disagree at all. But I can walk and chew gum at the same time on this one :) In other words, they’re not mutually exclusive.
