Until someone proves me wrong I absolutely believe that Donald Trump is effectively above the law.

Honestly.
I say that with a great and sincere hope that I'm wrong.

But, to be honest, history is not on hope's side, especially our recent history. Justice is very rarely applied to the powerful and never in the manner it is to the lesser powerful among us.

I recently watched one of those Discovery Channel court case shows and it was about Victor White III's murder by Iberia County Deputies in March of 2014.

It leaned heavyily on the racism and corruption of Sherriff Louis Ackal.

He is a terrible man.

3/
He's a terrible man who is known as a corrupt and vile man whom law enforcement agencies, both state and federal, have been trying to corner for years and despite tons of evidence he is still free and still Sherriff.

If they can't nail a Sherriff...

4/
I find it hard to have faith they will get far with an administration that is making and changing the rules and laws as they go along.

Even with Nixon and Iran/Contra far fewer went to jail than really should have in both cases.

It's really not that complicated. How we got here and the things that happened to get us here may be complicated, but it doesn't take more than a kindergarten level education to understand the 'when all is said and done' reality.

Donald Trump cheated to become President.

1/
More than half of America believes that and has from the beginning.

We know this and yet.

There is no game, test, sport, or monitored event on Earth where cheating is accepted or rewarded in the way we have awarded Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

Not a single one.

2/
You cheat in sports and unless you're the New England Patriote and are discovered they will destroy you.

Look at Lance Armstrong, that man survived cancer, then started a foundation that inspired countless others and raised millions for research.

I'm going to address a couple points & then mute this comment thread.

If you don't think that @HillaryClinton or the people around her, many of whom were brilliant & socially conscious POC, didn't know of or understand the data you're referencing then you know nothing of HRC.
1/
You certainly don't seem to recall the finer details of 2016 and, despite your claims to understand the particular pressures she was under, refuse to give those pressures their proper due.

In an election filled with fake news & populist hyperbole from the far right & left..

2/
...an election that was overwhelmed by such virulent misogyny it actually started to feel normal, where Clinton was mocked for being too prepared, and was lectured for being too wonky, and where she was already offering some pretty nuanced and in depth arguments on race...

Not understanding your point. You expect that Clinton would come out on the losing end of such a comparison?

I totally disagree.

I've listened to @HillaryClinton speak passionately about race for three decades.

Race and racism were a central focus of her 2016 campaign.

1/
She didn't speak about it just every once in awhile @amikegreen, she spoke about it every single day of the campaign.

In fact, race and criminal justice was the topic of her first policy paper for the campaign, which she presented in April 2015.

2/
She continued making major speeches on the topic of race throughout the campaign.

Here again from June 2016.

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

Against Normalization: The Lesson of the “Munich Post”

THE TRUMP-HITLER COMPARISON.
Is there any comparison? Between the way the campaigns of Donald #Trump and Adolf #Hitler should have been treated by the #media and the culture? The way the media should act now? The problem of #normalization?
2/
Because I’d written a book called Explaining Hitler several editors had asked me, during the #campaign, to see what could be said on the subject.

Until the morning after the election I had declined them.

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
