There's been a lot of disgusting and embarrassing firsts for the US the past 7 years but is this day the official moment in history where the US is no better than Venezuela? Brazil? Mexico? I think it is.

These issues have existed for decades. It's just that poor people felt the brunt of the system and that ignorance fueled a near cult-like adoration of police and prosecutors for the non-poor.

We have been moving that direction but I think indicting a US President on an extremely tenuous legal charge has qualified the US as a Banana Republic.

Long before

Using FISA to spy on all of Washington

I believe the Obama administration found a way to blackmail Justice Roberts

Oh yes, there have been countless presidents pursued by a corrupt judicial system for 7 years.

It's too early to play the special needs poster in a PT thread.

You're intentionally refining your data set to avoid the actual discussion.

This is a systemic issue. The sad part is you're still defending it with the perfect example of "if they can do it to him, they can do it to you". For some reason you believe you're safe from it, or that you were ever safe from it

That day was certainly a bold indication of what was to come....we've reached the culmination of the efforts from a corrupt judicial system, a corrupt media, a corrupt Bureaucratic State......yes they finally got Trump.

Or do they? I'm betting on Trump...ULTRA MAGA 2024!!!

Yeah, but there's always a point in "history books" that is where the chapter opens up. I think April 4th 2023 is as solid a date as any for absolute proof.

People will only wake up when something affects their day to day life. Our money could possibly hyper inflate in the next couple weeks. If that happens then the majority of Americans will call these bums out.

Probably more like when we had a former head of the FBI list felonies committed by a former Sec of State and presidential candidate and then balk at prosecution. “No reasonable prosecutor”

Well.. he got the “no reasonable” part right at least.

Russia hoax was the day. When the DOJ knowingly tries to frame Trump on false allegations made up by the dems, it was over with.

50% Banana Republic
50% Weimar Republic

America has been dead and gone for a while now. An embarrassing shadow of everything it once was.
