The rule of law most likely won’t be applied to TSF, because he is somewhat wealthy and his supreme cult will leave him be.

- it is tantamount to life. Considering his age and increasingly diminishing health, physical and mental, he is unlikely to survive.

will get the “mercy” of nearly 22 years in prison. Trump will get SS protection, golf and his pension for life and he will be able to spew his shit till the day we plant the motherfucker with an expensive state funeral.

How's that top tier JustUs working out for all us little unwashed masses?

But, I'm still holding out hope. Because, if he is not stopped, then the dream is over. I can't bear the reality of living with that knowledge until I have no other choice. It is in me, waiting, and prepared. But I keep pushing it down because, fuck us all. 😫

It was always just an ideal we supposedly strove for but now it's out in the open that rule of law is a fucking farce. I've never been so disgusted with my government as I am now. We look weak & foolish that this guy is not only walking free, he's running for president again. JFC.
