    ‘No one is too wealthy or too powerful to be above the law’

    Oh, I get it! It’s funny because it’s not true! Ha ha!

    I can’t remember where I found it, but there’s a paper or book somewhere that basically states that, in systems of oppression, exceptions to the law for a select elite are not only common, but fundamental to how systems of oppression work.

      Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

        As a leftist, I wish others would engage in critical, nuanced thinking instead of regurgitating the same calibre of tired, generic talking points we so often criticize the right for.

        Yes, the right is a monolith all united under the single cause of repressing out groups. You’ve clearly nailed it.

        Oh yes, the famous bastions of conservatism surrounding Epstein, like Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz, and Woody Allen!

    Oh my god I wish that actually becomes true.

    In a just world, most of this administration would be behind bars. Same with fElon and Bannon and Stone and other people not necessarily in the administration.
