@andrewg Well. Putin hasn’t lost an election in decades, so that’s how you solve this problem…
@anotherdaniel it’s certainly *one* way of solving the problem…

@andrewg We've seen this before. There will be no consequences, no justice. The Democrats would have to be replaced by a real opposition party

Fortunately for the Republicans, the Democrats have no spine (they voted for more ICE funding).

@ocdtrekkie @andrewg 10000-1 odds that ANY of the fascists face any legal consequences. Better chance of the Browns winning the Superbowl next year. Better chance of Egypt winning the world cup. Better chance Crystal Palace winning the premiere league next year.
Unless the system is torn down and structured to serve people and not the ruling class I have no faith in the justice system -
