    This is defeatist bullshit. We are a country of laws, not men. Or so it remains to be determined. Trump must not be treated with deference and penning him at mar-a-fucko or wherever isn’t going to cut it. You’d be locked up in a supermax for doing the same shit. FFS, he’s being charged under the Espionage Act.

      I would be locked up. I’m not rich and an ex president either. This fuck should be in prison for bullshit he’s done 40 years ago and has continued to do, but he’s got dirt on people and money. It’s not defeatist bullshit, it’s being realistic. IF you think he’s going to do hard time for anything, you really have no idea how things work. Is it right? Hell no, is there anything we can do about it? Again, hell no. No way in hell the people in power are going to let that happen because then we could go after them and they’d all be in prison leaving us with nobody to run shit.
