A serious judge would have ensured a multiple time convicted felon was not permitted to become a dictator in the formerly most powerful country in the world.
Lol that is not within the control of a random individual judge.
It no longer surprises me that murica is in the state it is in. It did at first, I admit. Perhaps it's my age. Or my general belief that people are good and care at least some, for their fellow man. Especially their own families, neighbors and friends regardless of their background.
But that assumption is continually proven wrong lately. People willfully blind themselves to the obvious. They refuse to admit when everything has broken around them. They live in this weird place of denial grasping at things that are no longer effective or even present.
Many of us are well aware that the system has been broken for years and that this was a likely result, but the system also made it very difficult to stop. (The mathematically determined 2 party stem we get with first past the post voting for instance).
Once democrats blew it by giving up local power, they and the country, were done.
Expecting change without forcing it and ensuring it happens. Sitting back and blaming the politicians. You are the citizens who put them in power and you are the citizens who can remove them from that power. No one else. You. Your countrymen. Your families and friends. You.
