Anti-trust laws should be approached with exactly that attitude.

Victoria Shynkar and her colleagues, who work for the demining charity the Halo Trust,
uncovered 243 TM-62 Soviet-designed anti-tank mines left by the Russian army in a neighbouring field.
A chunky and intimidating 32-centimetres in diameter and 13-cm-wide,
the TM-62 contains 7.5 kilos of TNT and can puncture a tank if triggered. 
The presence of landmines and other unexploded ordnance is a significant issue in Ukraine,
impacting civilians and Ukraine’s agricultu…

I continue to maintain that Biden was one of the worst presidents in my lifetime - mostly due to an accident of timing. If he had been president in 2016 or 2000, he obviously would've been a huge improvement over Trump or Cheney, respectively. Heck, even in 2008 or 2012 or 1996 he would've been.. fine.
But after covid, BLM, 4 years of Trump 1.0 abuses, & subsequent open insurrection by literal fascism, he was the wrong person for the job. He gave the fash 4 years to prep

We're all really used to an FBI that is incredibly evil, but generally pretty competent. They have no problem using child sex offenders to infiltrate groups of clowns. They have no problem trying to convince civil rights leaders to commit suicide. They have no problem with sowing confusion within leftists groups and trying to get them to kill each other. They've always been radically anti-left, but they've also always been competent.
Fabricating evidence in a really obvious way would always have been off the table because they wouldn't be willing to throw a case. But those competent people have been pushed out of the FBI. It's now Kash Patel's clown show. It serves the whims of the regime above all else. It will sacrifice decades of hard built trust for a quick win, because no one involved is competent enough to understand the consequences of such actions.
In the past, they may have used torture to elicit a confession. They may have entrapped people. They could have deleted exonerating evidence, but they would probably not have just completely manufactured obviously fake evidence just to forward the regime's narrative. I don't think that we've seen anything like this, at the very least in our lifetimes.
We have to foster a new level of skepticism, far beyond what we have been used to... and this is especially true of Liberals, who still don't understand the level of corruption and incompetence in local law enforcement today.
