This is some serious unprecedented bullshit. Especially when their charge was money laundering. Basically he is making money laundering legal. Go ahead and break the law. Trump will pardon you…
Your democracy is falling apart because of it is an empire in late decadence. Its systems of checks and balances are collapsing.
The world is getting more war friendly because as dominant empires fall apart internally, nations want to do stuff they weren’t allowed to when the big bad empire had more control.
This is all part of the natural life cycle of empires. Best case scenario is they fizzle out with protection from another empire, like Great Britain did. Worst case scenario is really bad.
Expect to see more of this kind of thing in the future. Might be a good time to consider going somewhere else, cause things could get really ugly. These problems are terminal and at this point it doesn’t really matter who gets elected. It’ll keep falling apart. I say this with sadness. My country also got screwed by the USA, but if it hadn’t it would have been some other empire. Such is the life of the small poor nation.
I’m sorry, but I think it’s important to see this for what it is and to adapt.
Oh, I remember Citizens United
