Putin's daughter (General)

Those belonging to the dynasties no doubt view this all as a game. They'll never, ever be poor. When Trump said, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?," he wasn't joking.

What's implied there, and what I'm sure he also believes, is that he'd never be charged with a crime, much less ever go to jail. And there is 0 chance that any of these people in these dynasties would ever, ever face the death penalty for a crime, which is one reason I'm against the death penalty. It's mainly handed out to poor or mentally ill people.

These people can get away with anything they want. War, no problem. Tax evasion, statutory rape, you name it, we're allowed to do it because we own the courts. We own the politicians who give the judges their jobs. We own it all.

Elections in the US have become a farce, a distraction. A soap opera.
