I'm a rando on the internet and I think setting the precedent of indictment is the bigger deal and part of why this one happened first.

Thanks for reading!

I don't disagree per se, but it's also a conversation I don't want to get bogged down in while fascism remains an overt threat.

Could it maybe be useful as a path towards an independent chain of constructing charges if the current FL case gets tanked? As a separate set of events that wasn't even under investigation at the time it has an extra degree of separation, maybe?

I'm just a dog on the internet so I have no insight or human intelligence.

I think it's more the perception that if investigations are inconvenient enough, you can get away with very egregious poo poo. To paraphrase Michael Scott, you miss finding 100% of the mycrimes.txt logs you don't search for.

Compare and contrast to the keelhauling poor and racialized people have for merely existing. That doesn't seem great for legitimately!

trump exists in a state of quantum linear superposition: everything is unknown until it's measured and, once it is, it's exactly what it needs to be. even if you have to go two words at a time a statement is always good and correct.

The philosophical essay "On Bullshit" is a good primer for understanding this.

I made The Dark Urge a warlock and mostly noncombat spells because you can cause an absurd amount of chaos with high charisma and mobility spells.

Also now would be a timely occasion to recommend reading modern philosophy Harry Frankfurt's essay 'On Bullshit', or at least browse the Wikipedia article.

Tldr: bullshit is different and more insidious than mere lies because the liar cares about the truth and can be refuted with facts. The bullshitter will say whatever is necessary because the words themselves are ephemeral and crafted to channel emotional responses.

"An ingroup that the law protects but does not bind." The very idea that a rich white man could be punished for merely breaking the law goes against everything conservatism stands for.

Since it's in the news today, I remember a number people supporting Orenthal the Killer back in the day because it was the first time they saw a black man use his fame and wealth to game the system like a white man.

Turmp! facing consequences is like the inverse of that.

Judges virtually always convict because judges become extremely cynical due to the nature of the job and are thus extremely unlikely to believe anything a defendant says. The purpose of jury trials is not because anyone thinks jurors are smart, it's because twelve random people,screened for bias, are far more neutral than the judge would be.

Years ago I was told the chestnut that statistically one is better off with a jury if guilty, and with a judge if innocent. I wonder how well that aged post 9/11

The answer to that incongruence, like many other bullshit aspects of things in the US, is that it's just a manifestation white supremacy. It's this way by design and there's too much momentum behind existing power structures to meaningfully impact it on a meaningful timescale.

They're just catching up to ten years ago in that a right leaning nationalist populist endorsed by alex jones and cozy with accelerationist groups is likely to win the next election and push harmful economic and social policy. So they prob won't, no.
