Take a moment for this to settle in:

If it turns out that Trump had a pedophile past, it means our country was practically disassembled by someone who should have been behind bars decades ago.

I hope that the post analysis delves into all the Criminal justice agencies that failed us and those in the political world that aided and abetted are forever removed from their positions.

It isn’t those of us in donor states making 150 to 750k that are the problem.

It is the billionaires.

When you lump in hard working people in blue states with the billionaires, you are going to piss off many supporters of the cause.

Now, ending the SS cap you will get support, but raising taxes on 150k earners, that will lose CA, MA, NY, WA support. And rightfully so.

He should have been in prison long ago.

His continued freedom is an anathema to the idea of justice. And, a big reason to distrust the entire concept as it stands.
