Holy fucking shit this country is in a downward spiral and the only cure is to cut out the MAGAt tumors.
In what other country could the headlines say "CONVICTED FELON calls the justice system rigged, so the law enforcement branch has decided to let their cult of outspokenly bigoted, dangerously violent, sprinkled with domestic terrorist in-group do whatever they want while destroying things in order to try and keep them from destroying things"
I remember reading some headlines from about 80 years ago with similar headlines, only it was from Germany. Can't punish them TOO much or they might take over the country and start exterminating.... Oh.... Wait... That is exactly what happened.
They're literally showing a group favoritism to avoid seeming like they're playing favorites.
This is no different than the school bully screaming about how unfair the teachers are after they were punished for hitting another student. Except now the teachers started saying "well if we keep punishing him then he will go hit someone" as if that in any way shape or form is a logical conclusion.
Fuck the system. If it doesn't work for the betterment of society then there isn't a reason to abide by it.
