  1. @quinn until we start imprisoning senior executives for long sentences when corporations break the law, it's just the cost of doing business.

  2. We are in, and have been some time, an #AgeofImpunity. Normally revolutions follow such periods. I don't think that would help in our case (here, in such a situation the right wing would clearly win and a lot of people would die) so I guess we're trapped thedailybeast.com/elon-musks-a #elonmusk #evil

  3. @alfredo_liberal Doesn't matter. The judges in Florida have pledged fealty to him. Case would not make it out of the state.

  4. @shawnwegner Or they want publicity around the time his most challenging primary opponent announces his bid for president. It seems we in the public are always waiting and hoping for justice, but the weak promise of justice is only used to generate publicity and clicks.

  5. This really needs to be the narrative in history books in the next 25 years. I want my grandchildren (who don't exist yet) to know how this court was fully corrupted by money and power, and how that ultimately ended the empire.

    But it is also VERY important to remember that we solve #CitizensUnited by eliminating the enormous wealth disparities in this country. It is the only way, as far as I see it.

  7. @PattyHanson If something ever spelled #AgeOfImpunity that's it. And it's not just the system, it is our fellow citizens who fail to realize how open and bold the kleptocracy has become. Giving a twice impeached, currently tried, game show host a platform based on popularity over substance is asinine, but the popularity part is our fault as much as our multi-tiered justice system's.

  8. Today the US government took over a failing bank and sold it to our largest bank. In order to sell it, it had to use $13,000,000,000 taxpayer dollars to split insurance on uninsured funds. Once again, we socialized losses of banks whose gains are private. Once again, we were told it was far better than the alternative.

    So, what is the alternative? Well, the alternative is to unmask the system as a complete scam that redistributes wealth away from those who need it most. The maneuver was a slight adjustment to a house of cards.

  9. If you're done being happy that #TuckerCarlson was fired and still mad about the fact that #Fox is allowed to sow discord in our society without any effort to legally or criminally stop them, you'll be enraged with what is happening in St. Petersburg #Florida for the last year or so. Read this and think about the operations used here versus how the FBI raided mar a lago. More illustration of the two vastly different outcomes this corrupt legal system produces, by design, in this country. And we think this system will solve the existential problem of #ClimateChange?

  10. @AnarchoNinaWrites And yet, when I use the hashtag #AgeOfImpunity, there are still folks who defend the system over the people it exploits. You hit the mark on this one!

  11. #Fascism is the merger of corporate interests and the power of government. Read this to learn about the growing acceptance of fascism in the #US. But prepare to be angered, because nothing will come of it. #AgeOfImpunity

  12. Call me a curmudgeon, but I think all we witnessed today in New York was a pageant of an unequal and partial-to-money justice system. We put it out there in full display that some are treated very differently when they break the law.

  13. How much longer are we all going to wait for justice to come to leaders who cheat us? Where is the accountability? We can't solve the obvious, so our chances of solving #CliimateChange are even less likely. #AgeOfImpunity

  14. How many months now have indictments been likely within days? Is Louis DeJoy still postmaster general? Is Matt Gaetz still free?
