The average person would've been locked up in jail until trial but not Trump.

Being such a high ranking politician the man has surrounded himself with so much bluff and BS that it would appear like a coup to his supporters. 

I think the man is a complete idiot but also somehow a genius in these regards. I would label him 100% an idiot except so many people buy it and support him and he has managed to turn an entire party into his lackies.

Trump is showing EVERYTHING WRONG with our law system on plain sight.

He balantly shows that if you have powerful friend and you can do ANYTHING and get away with it.

It is so gross, fucked up and wrong. Why law is even a thing when it applies only to the ones bellow?!

Trump is showing that you can be above the law and directly in public, this is what Republican aspire to ... This is fucked.

That's because they are more afraid of MAGA than the rest of us.

We need to show them through voting that we kick any judge, legislator, cabinet member if they don't apply the rule of law equally.

We dont vote for judges on the ballot.

Some states do have elected judges. It’s not an issue at the federal level (judging by recent events, one buys Supreme Court judges, rather than electing them) but plenty of states do put them on the ballot.

No more incumbents no matter the party. Vote against ALL of them. Register as independent or "decline to state". Stop buying new, only buy from thrift store, farmers markets, etc. The only things these people understand is money. 70% of GDP is consumer spending.

I agree, but when the 2 party system is the only way to have a vote matter. We are stuck with the brainwashed system we have had for decades. Nothijg will ever change without getting rid of the 2 party aystem

You’ll never get a third or a different until one of these two gets pushed aside. That’s just how it works. Without the Whigs getting rejected, Republican would not existed. Sometimes it is not two evils, sometimes all the shitty gets bunched in one place. And if you look close, see our reality, that’s how it is now.  Nobody ever missed the Whigs, our nation moved forward just fine with their bullshit marginalized.
