Fuck me… I knew it. I knew it was too good to be true. I was just waiting to see how it would be scuttled and here it is. This was my final shred of hope for justice in this world. I am now official one of the permanently jaded.

nah, don't give up so easily..

Easily? Man it’s hard to constantly be batted around for literally 8 years now… all of the shit Trump did while in office, and now all the shit he’s getting away with, not to mention his legacy of a court he left behind. At what point is there hope left to look for? Every time it looks like there could be some justice, SCOTUS or another court just rips it away and lets him keep at it.

Yeah I’ll vote, but where does it end?

it'll never end, friend.

Hopefully when Trump goes to a McDonald's and gets a poisoned burger

WTF do you mean, "easily?" Do you have any fucking clue whatsoever how many times Trump should have had consequences applied to him already!?!!!!?!???!?!?

Rather apparent that you don't.

I do, but just because I'm not complaining loudly about it doesnt mean I've lost focus or faith
