@paulbusch@mstdn.caThe country of Brazil demonstrates how a trusted judicial system should work as they sentence a former president to 27 years in prison for his attempted coup. Meanwhile, in the U.S. the current president brags about how he escaped punishment for his attempted insurrection.

@paulbusch@mstdn.caCame across this opinion piece today, and I suspect it may be too late to save America. The author states that in 200 days Democrats need to take back power in order to combat Trump. But Trump is already doing what he wants without any intervention by the House or Senate, and the Supreme Court is allowing it. IMO, it's 50/50 that Midterm Elections happen at all, or they will be heavily manipulated by Trump's thugs so that they're meaningless. He's telling Americans what his plans are when he shows off his MAGA 2028 hats.
You know what nations feel like living next to Russia feel like? We are very likely to find out.
