    I don’t have your faith.

    Nothing in the last decade has given any indication that the US has the ability or inclination to deal with this.

      Cowardly delayed until he got re-elected, but the USA came this close 🤏 to jailing Trump, and even so, he is a felon now. That’s not nothing.

      But please don’t call my glass-not-completely-empty attitude “faith”

        The American system has the president be the ultimate authority. In order to face any kind of justice someone would have to deny that authority.

        He is in effect a dictator, as bad as in Russia or North Korea, someone would have to have the balls and the executive authority to be able to hold him to account. Right now he is the president, the ultimate executive authority. Someone somewhere would have to control enough firepower to be able to overcome that executive authority.

        Who is going to challenge the ultimate authority in the universe, and have the power to haul him in front of the jury that isn’t rigged, and have that jury actually capable of rendering a verdict?

        How does any of the above happen, when the president of the United States may as well be the god emperor of all human activity?
