Justice

The justice part of the American justice system has left the building.

You should absolutely not be able to convict someone of a crime and have them suffer zero consequences.

No jail time.

No parole.

No community service.

Oh come on.

Not even a fine?

Donald Trump is not better than me. Or you. Or anyone. I would go as far as saying that most people are better than him.

Most have some sense of honesty and compassion.

But for some reason, he gets to break the law. A rule. Meant to keep society in check. Maybe I should go to the gas station and steal a soda. If he is going to break the law, why can’t I?

The law is ineffective.

People are too terrified of this man to do anything to upset him. 

Things are just going to get worse. There are no checks on him. He has every branch of government under his thumb.

And that, friends, is how you know that justice has left the building.

I’m scared.

    How do I see the world? I see a lot of bad things. That’s what the news likes to show us. There’s war, poverty, hunger, death, school shootings, plane crashes, and of course the looming threat of climate change.
