All the ingredients are there and it won’t take much to put it all together.

      Idk this whole Donald Trump thing kinda tells me we’re already fucked on that regard.

      Kinda hard to claim we’re punishing corruption when he’s still in the court systems almost a year after his failed coup

        I’m so sorry to do this to you. It’s been almost three years, January 21-December 23. The pandemic fucked everyone’s sense of time though.

            It literally happens constantly to me. I used to have a pretty good greater sense of time, and I can still remember/estimate pretty well when things happened until 2019, but time’s a weird black hole after that

          It only takes that long if your in a position of authority though.

          Meanwhile as an average citizen a cop can just decide to arrest you, make up a bullshit story and your in jail without bail that day.

          Speedy trial is a right that you have and can invoke. However, it almost always screws the defense. As such, everyone waives it.
