(10,599 posts)Do you really, truly, believe there is a snowball's chance in h&*l that either one of them will ever be seen in handcuffs, let alone, thrown in jail?
Or are you merely posting this idea, to make people feel better and optimistic that accountability is coming?
I think suggestions of this possibility, merely serves to create extreme disappointment and anger when it inevitably doesn't happen.
I don't disagree that it should exist as a possibility, but I've lived in this country long enough to know that it's as likely as seeing a pig fly. Perhaps it's time to move forward, and accept that if you're rich and powerful enough, you have a fairly good chance of being "Above The Law."
The most we could hope for, with a douchebag like Musk, is that people will stop buying his cars, or advertisers will stop going on Twitter, but even that is sadly unrealistic. If Tesla were in serious trouble, he'd just sell the company for more money than 1,000 average Americans could hope to earn in a lifetime.

(80,467 posts)I know all too well this goes against the long-standing, unwritten rule not go after white males with money.
But this is much bigger, imo.
Look at Brazil's attempted coup, with pootin's other major asset at mar-a-bedbug.
These pieces of shit must be locked up.
We are in this situation precisely because prick Nixon was pardoned, imo. And pootin saw a way to buy qpukes to create unrest.
Hope springs eternal.

(10,599 posts)And it seems like little has changed.
Perhaps if there was some indication that it was different now, I'd be more optimistic.
I realize that "hope springs eternal," but if I buy a Powerball ticket today, I'm not going to go around and say what I plan to buy with my $1 Billion winnings.
At this point, I have a very low opinion about America. I was highly optimistic that there was ZERO chance Joe Biden would lose to Teflon Man in 2020. Only to be astounded that he still got 74+ Million votes.
I'd love to see accountability, but until I do, my lack of faith that it will happen, won't change.

(19,704 posts)the criminals are far bolder and don't really even bother to hide it, because they know, from Nixon, Reagan, W, Orange Man and their various henchmen, that there are few, if any, consequences for men like them.

"The National Supreme Court in Brazil is illegitimate and the most corrupt part of the country. They don't respect the law of the people. Do whatever is necessary. Love y'all!
"I do NOT denounce unannounced impromptu Capitol tours by the people."

(10,599 posts)Honestly, the more time goes on, I don't blame them.
It reminds me of a Robin Williams joke (boy do I miss him). He basically said, "In England, the police don't carry guns. So when they witness a crime, they shout 'Stop! Or I'll Say Stop Again!'

(12,251 posts)From the few pictures I've seen of him standing next to other men, Ali is shorter.
I wonder how a full-length photo of him would look next to the pipe bomb person in the famous video. Could Ali Alexander be who placed the Capitol Hill pipe bomb/s?
