Not having any consequences seems a lot like being exonerated.

But it's important we make the distinction because otherwise we look like complete fools! /s
The Democrats keep turning up to the dawn duel with a sword as agreed, while the Republicans turn up with a pistol because fuck the rules. Then the Democrats say "no, no, I'll continue with the sword because that's the rules", get slaughtered, and then wonder what went wrong. One day I hope they'll realise you can't beat an opponent who's not even playing the game.
Hell, they’re turning up to a knife fight with a deck of cards, and the Republicans are bringing fucking Uzis. The DNC is fully a joke at this point. Sure, they suck (marginally) less than the GOP at actually governing, but they couldn’t fight their way out of a paper bag - nor do they appear to be interested in fighting their way out of said paper bag. It’s fucking embarrassing.
It's like it's intentional at this point.
It’s getting harder and harder to disagree with that statement
They bring swords and stick to swords cause this is what wins them the respect of the well educated, intelligent voterbase.
Bit that voterbase is a tiny minority and the rest are too stupid to understand why bringing a sword to a swordfight matters in a first world nation.
Sounds like Trump needs to resign or prepare to be dragged out of the White House
Sure, whatever you say. He might not technically be exonerated, but he might as well be. You had 4 fucking years to actually do something about Trump, but this is the system working as intended. The US keeps drifting further and further right with power further consolidating in the hands of billionaires and corporations, while the Democrats sit on their asses and act like they're completely helpless to do anything meaningful to actually help ordinary people while in power. Then when they lose elections they get to blame minorities or leftists and use it as an excuse to drift further right.
Cyberpunk corporate dystopia, here we come!
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
They did for a little bit..
And things improved for a little bit - Blue Cross Blue Shield rolled back their dystopian anesthesia time limit policy immediately after the UHC assassination. Can't argue with the results!
That anaesthesia policy was completely misread by us lefties. From what I understand, some anaesthesiologists (the highest paid professions in the world) were deliberately inflating the numbers on certain procedures to get more money from the patient and their insurances.
Doctors reports of procedure length weren't matching up with the anaesthesiologists, and the new limits were apparently well within expected procedure ranges. It had caveats for if the doctor reported that the procedure ran long, so patients wouldn't get stung by complications.
The only people that won was the anaesthesiologists and their (now E en moreso) enormous payslips.
Will he face any consequences?
Will anyone even care?
I dunno Jack, he seems pretty exonerated to me.
The Little Fucking Austrian Corporal was thrown into prison for treason. WTF AmeriKa?
Doesn't matter, never did.
The president of the United States is above the law.
