I would guess that the fraction of Americans who believe that our system of justice is broken runs north of 9/10. But many people tie our system of justice to whatever political party happens to be in power at the time.
I ran into an old friend the other day who is furious that Joe and Hunter Biden haven’t been prosecuted for taking bribes from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. I pointed out that a former FBI informant who fabricated a story about their accepting bribes that became central to Republicans’ impeachment effort was sentenced to six years in prison.
She laughed and said, “Just wait until the new Justice Department takes shape under Trump.” Her point is that Trump will make sure that Biden, and especially political rivals who called for him to be prosecuted for his crimes are punished.
Whether she knew it or not, her point is that the present-day United States has lost its sense of fairness and honesty.
Every day, our nation’s face is pushed a little bit further into the toilet.
Gotta love the creativity, and certainly the sentiment, that is captured by the artist whose work we see here.
In reality, however, Lady Liberty should be depicted sitting with slumped shoulders, tears rolling down her cheeks.
There has never been a moment anything like the present in U.S. history. A sociopathic criminal in the White House, bolstered by traitors in both Congress and the Supreme Court.
It’s always encouraging to see the emergence of another brilliant astrophysicist into our culture — not that his message here is particularly encouraging.
