A fringe website featured the purported names and addresses of the Fulton County grand jury that indicted Trump and 18 other people for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Hitler got arrested within 3 days of his coup attempt, and got a trial in 4 months time. He was in jail five months after his coup attempt.
He was pardoned by his friends after spending just a year in jail.
Getting Trump in jail is not the end of this story, it doesn’t fix everything. It would be a first step, and the US is still not there.
These are wildly different situations and Trump is no Hitler
Keep making excuses for people failing to execute on the promises of equality and justice.
It really goes to show how much you believe in America’s “all men are created equal” to just shrug your shoulders at a literal traitor having years of freedom.
TIL the government “failing to execute” is when you have 91 felony charges
Four years later. Four years. Four years.
Do normal people get FOUR YEARS of mouthing off and planning future crimes after they assault the government?
Some of the people who actively participated in j6 are still facing trial, so… yes.
They weren’t the fucking MAIN BENEFACTOR OF A COUP.
It’s like you fucking morons do not understand basic reality. The constitution REQUIRES a timely trial. Just because you can point to instances of the judicial system literally failing to uphold the constitution doesn’t magically make it OK.
Seriously, the “better late than never” crowd utterly fails to realize how corrupting a two-tiered justice system is…
Says the person angry about legal procedures taking a long time.
The preexisting nature of something should NEVER be justification for its existence.
If it exists for good reasons, give THOSE reasons. Notice how you gave no reasons why it should be acceptable.
