A history of skewed justice has emboldened the crooked politicians to the utmost degree. How much more before the system crumbles? If chump would run and win in 2024, all his crooked cronies would be off the hook, and run amok like nothing we have ever seen before in this country. Be very afraid..

Reagan managed to sell weapons to Iran at the same time we were selling weapons to Iraq during the Iran/Iraq war. I assume he pocketed half the money and then laundered to rest to the bloodthirsty folks in Latin America.
Bush II managed to, out of nowhere, invent a story about how Afghanistan should be invaded because, after all, NONE of the people on ANY of the planes that attacked us were from Afghanistan.
Bush II then managed to invade Iraq because there were NO weapons of mass destruction there.
Bush II also managed to pass, in 2001, a law legalizing banking "derivatives" that were immediately used to bundle worthless mortgages and sold wordwide. We all know what happened after that.
Then, along came Trump with a list of crimes and broken laws that will fill books going forward. Stealing documents and selling them to the highest bidder, printing money from the Fed to buy corporate bond ETF's (basically, theft of government money by big corporations), violent insurrection, tit for tat for weapons to Ukraine, and more.
So, who says the system is working? It is not.
Basically, our system is so weak that a fat, rich, white, special needs crook can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants and completely get away with it.
I agree Mike that our system of government, as designated in the Constitution, is antiquated and reliant on people's good intentions. Times change and politics inherently attracts people with self-serving bad intentions.
The wealthy have always used their money to buy influence. And the system is so rigged that every election is a contest of who raises the most money. We have the best government money can buy, and that is proven every year when you see the level of income and wealth inequality.
I hate politics and most politicians. Politicians are some of the biggest grifters, conmen, and morally corrupt people in the world. Not only is our form of government a magnet for attracting bad people, it also repels good people who won't go into politics because they don't want to be associated with or deal with lowlifes.
I'll close by invoking an idiom that pretty much says it all. "We have foxes in charge of the hen house."
DonтАЩt be afraid: get busy and prevent this from happening. How can anyone even talk about тАЬifтАЭ he runs and тАЬifтАЭ he wins in 2024. That is only two years away. I hope heтАЩll be enjoying his prison burgers with ketchup.
emphasis on "Get Busy" --- WE HAVE 60 DAYS, folks! reference moveon.org, vote.org, fairfight.org and mobilize.us and start writing, texting, marching, door knocking and Calling.
The Repos have changed the rules and Dem voters need HELP. ie Thanks to Kemp et al it will take 15% more Dem voters, all in the right places, to keep GA blue and get Abrams in charge at last.
Thank you for reference to organizations and reminder of extra 15% votes needed. Nuts and bolts advice for how to gain votes is precious as is time to get it done.

Jeri,
Perhaps the system already crumbled?

Reality has a crushing pressure that breaks through the haze of myth
