I understand Tristan’s sentiments and his belief that arrests cannot be made without warrant but it is happening. There will be no recourse in a court of law. No such thing as “Innocent until proven guilty”.
Justice? 1500 violent and treasonous, convicted criminals were just pardoned and are out on the streets, as far as I know, with their right to bear arms, even if they have lost that right – I am not up on U.S. gun laws (Are there any? Really? I don’t think so.) Men and women with, absolutely, no respect for the rule of law, armed and ready to fight for their…whatever he is.
Let us not forget that the man holding the most powerful seat in government is, himself a convicted felon. His nominations for some of the other powerful seats within the American system just defy logical thinking; a man who is an unabashed conspiracy theorist who believes he had or still has a brain worm…Robert F. Kennedy Jr. nominated to be the next secretary of Health and Human Services. Let that one sink in, truly sink in.
Secretary of Defense nominee? Peter Hegseth, accused of being an alcoholic, molesting, wife beater.
“A trail of documents, corroborated by the accounts of former colleagues, indicates that Hegseth was forced to step down by both of the two nonprofit advocacy groups that he ran—Veterans for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America—in the face of serious allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct.”
There is far more on this guy; see the link below and prepare for outrage and disgust.

I understand that the American school system has been suffering and under fire for decades. And the end result is, generations of citizens who do not understand the absolute danger faced by the country. The rule of law no longer applies unless it benefits the GOP and its allies. Justice is simply 7 letters strung together, at this point.
The disaster that is the United States of America, currently, will only worsen. These people do not discuss. We all saw that on Jan. 6th/2024 and we saw it in Charlotteville, NC…we hear it in the opinions of the Magats (and no, I will not refer to them as Republicans because they are not – they use the label but you can slap gold paint on a turd but it remains a turd.)
I am old enough to remember the civil unrest of the 70’s, seeing it on television, meeting conscientious objectors in my city and other Canadian cities. To this day, I do not understand the reason for all those American kids losing their lives and taking the lives of Vietnamese. (There was none.)
I wish I could see into the future, I wish the future looked positive for the U.S. but it doesn’t. News media, social media have been compromised. The entire world is pointing, laughing and snorting in disgust at how far the U.S. has fallen. The president (not capitalizing – he doesn’t deserve it), is THREATENING allies. Canada, Denmark, Panama – he has his eye on Cuba; he has come out and said, he is looking to expand American territory. So, did Putin and that is not going the way either Putin or his pocket monkey, Trump thought it would. Same goes for Canada. For Denmark. For Panama. Cuba, I’m afraid, will fall victim to expansionism, they simply don’t have the resources to fight, unless China steps in.
Unless there is confrontation, and I’m afraid it would have to be violent as that is the only thing that administration and its flunkies understand, the U.S. is on the way to being Nazi-Germany 2.0 or considering Trumps love affair with Vlad? Perhaps Stalinism American style.
