    The countless headlines of trump being indicted?

    This past few weeks were the first time he is actually having any legal consequences. Nothing like the headlines of old.

      And yet, he still walks free and his allies still sit in power.

      Do not mistake the shadenfreud for actual justice being served. That ship sailed years ago.

        He is not as free as you might think. For example: If attempted to leave the country right now, he would be arrested. He cannot go anywhere without a secret service detail and he isn’t legally allowed to drive himself anymore. He is being watched and monitored all day, every day.

        Hopefully, when he sentenced he will actually be put behind bars and not on “house arrest” in a mansion.

          He is more free and privileged than any person in the entire country who works a job and pays rent. House arrest for him is a vacation to 98% of Americans.

          That should never be acceptable so long as anyone else would suffer in a cement cell prison until they were executed for this.
