And He Wasn't Immediately Arrested And Buried Under The Jail?

REALITY CHECK: a federal Judge has concluded that a former president of the United States committed fraud and obstruction of justice.
And so many are insured to it. That is the Trump effect. And why we are in such deep trouble.

Clearly the legal system has collapsed into anarchy and chaos and disorder!!!!

Or clearly Andrew Weissmann should know better than to treat it like a bad TV show.

There will always be an England.

As support for Prime Minister Liz Truss withered, a British newspaper asked who would wilt first: her or a head of lettuce.

In the end, the lettuce emerged victorious.https://t.co/TbmoB2obwN

We had Trump; they had Brexit. Before Brexit GB was the second fastest growing economy in the world, behind only the U.S. After Brexit they are the weakest economy in Europe, with raging inflation (this is mostly what Truss tried to address, and why she didn't last as long as a head of lettuce on the counter). So we'll see which country is more badly damaged by its national stupidity.

This level of instability is funny, but it’s honestly one of the best features of the UK system that when a leader becomes embarrassing the party ruthlessly tosses him or her overboard rather than the American norm where the party serves the leader.

I have to say, the parliamentary system of Britain does look better and better.

Whites now more likely to die from covid than Blacks: Why the pandemic shifted: “The virus also attacks unvaccinated adults — who polls show are more likely to be Republicans — with a ferocity that puts them at a much higher risk of infection and death.” https://t.co/04tBnoP60K

See? White lives DO matter! Just not to stupid people.

Much as I hate to repost Trump's "Truths" (and word is Elmo is close to closing the deal on Twitter.  How rapidly does "Truth Social" collapse if Trump is allowed back on Twitter?), this man is as impotent as a 90 year old man without access to Viagra:

That may raise some concerns on Twitter about what people are saying on Parler, but it really won't make a groat's worth of difference in court, and the Federal judges seem to be lining up to make sure the DOJ understands that.
