      I really wish I could stop seeing this as one of the top comments in every single thread on this topic, seriously. Justice is slow and you’d really want it to be that way if you were on trial. You would want time to do things properly. That is what is going on here.

        The difference is when justice is slow for us we’re spending all that time in jail. Trump is living carefree while all this time passes. People aren’t just tired of Trump not being in jail in general, people are tired of seeing another old rich white dude having no consequence.

          That’s never going to change. If people keep getting hung up on that, then we really will not have progress as a society. Accept that life isn’t fair and that people can pay to win. Change that. Getting stuck on that causes people to just give up.

            If I was going to be a cereal pooper (I’m not, for the record) I would practice a whole lot because I wouldn’t want to mess up and kick the bowl or get shit on myself or otherwise ruin the mission like that. So I’m sure with repetition I’d eventually become a hands-free expert.

            In honing the craft I’d become a serial cereal pooper.

        Yeah, how dare we desire punishment for crimes that would have put literally anyone else in prison?

        That’s some creative writing you got there. Do you often feel the need to make shit up about people?

        People can celebrate him being punished in one forum while still being upset that he’s avoiding justice elsewhere.

        Real human beings can have multiple emotions about one person. They are different events and people can feel different about them. I’m amazed you have to be told this…
