18. I would be with you 100% if this ethos was extened to ALL of the law...

We should rectify the sins of 2009 in particular. The banking titans that crashed the system with greed and speculative gambling of liquidity (and outright FRAUD in selling their garbage to the public as "AAA" bonds) NEVER faced the reckoning and accountability that they should have. Every single one of the 'leaders' then - Dimon, Mack, Shrub's entire cabinet, etc. - should have been charged and bankrupted with fines and penalties. NONE of them should have been allowed to return to the industry, EVER.

We also must return to 2021 and find a way to rectify the damage to justice done by Trump's pardoning of CRIMINALS because they waved his 'colors' and HIS flags. The law died a little more this year, but the lack of draconian penalties and ironclad sentences for the insurrectionists only means that they WILL do it again (or worse) to retain or steal power and to further erode the trust of the people in our government. People always screaming about the "evil gummint" - but where the fuck do these idiots think the "gummint" comes from? They are CITIZENS, not some evil robot or Skynet Legislative terminators!

The state of the Rule of Law is currently in goddamn tatters and without addressing THAT, this is an ungiovernable mess, not a nation of laws over men.
