    Does anyone take this verdict seriously? This is the same criminal justice system that locks up the poor, vulnerable and ethnic minorities. They have criminalised whistleblowers and other truth tellers. They are enslaving ordinary people. The laws they use are often racist. The CIA are assassinating people and subverting nation states with total impunity from this same criminal justice system.

      I know right?

      So imagine just how much you have to fuck up as a rich white guy to actually get convicted of something in such a fucked up system.

      So your suggestion is that we ignore 34 guilty veredicts?

      Well in a way the US will ignore it. A twice impeached 34 times guilty ex-president is still allowed to walk on the street and even run for president again.

      Yeah, the penal system in the US and quite frankly it’s whole constitution are a joke
