Trump didn't get charged with illegal possession over the 197 docs he gave back to the archives when asked. That matches up with how Biden, Pence, etc. were treated. Give back voluntarily = no rap.
Trump is facing charges because he chose to lie to the feds and hide documents.

I’ve written up some observations about the Trump indictment in a new @CatoInstitute post: cato.org/blog/notes-cha…
@CatoInstitute One substantial portion of the indictment "lays out the reasons to think that lying to federal law enforcers and hiding documents was Trump’s purposeful course of action, not the result of some sort of carelessness or inattention." /3
Ukraine is run by a fascist gangster state of the most vile sort. Gun running. Human trafficking. Drug cartels. Child prostitution. Nazis. But our leaders want us to believe they are a bastion of democracy, just because they picked a fight with Russia.
You forgot to address the fascist gangster state part.

In December, Google+Apple announced to ban apps that embed tracking software operated by X-Mode, a location data broker who has sold location data to US military contractors.
The investigation found 199 apps with X-Mode embedded, 1 billion downloads, 90% of them still available.

In their effort to #whatabout yesterday's Capitol invaders, people on the MAGA-sympathetic right are making two glaring mistakes about last summer post-Floyd movement.
The first involves failing to make a distinction between the protests and gatherings that were largely safe and legal, and the rioting and looting that were decidedly not.
Conflating everything into some sort of rhetorically effective but substantively empty descriptor like "summer riots" or "BLM riots" just marks you off as a partisan hack. The majority of post-Floyd assembly was fine.
