  I have to admit that I didn’t have “I admire Brazil’s justice system. I wish the justice system in the US was more like Brazil’s.” on my 2023 bingo card. Definitely not in the first few weeks of the year.
context: An arrest already? I thought you had to wait a couple of years at least. >
  
  What’s going on with Trump is ridiculous. Especially seeing it on the front page all the time >
  
  It's pretty clear none of our politicians want to open the Pandora's box of of locking up the wealthy and privileged classes, unless it's a violent crime of some sort.  That's not something they can step back from.
  After two years of this bullshit, I can't come to any different conclusion than this. >
  
  I think its more the pandoras box of arresting a former president . They are scared. There have been politicians who have been locked up but not a president. >
  
  There's also certainly an aspect of knowing how the GOP will play it. They already invent things their opponents have done, and then actually do those things and claims it's fine because everyone does.
  If a former Republican president ends up in jail they have all the PR ammo they need to go scorched earth and start purging local and state politics of anyone not in their pocket. They have the gerrymandered advantage in enough places that this could be truly disastrous. >
  
  I don’t understand this. How is it possible to arrest and hold traitors accountable? What wizardry is this??
