That top comment cracks me up

No one should be applauding what has happened to Trump or his associates. Our country is so divided that we should all be sure we are standing for the "traditional" rule of law and we should not be accepting any ruling that has politicized the law no matter what side of the political spectrum we are associated with.

Lmao

It has to be right?! A large portion of that generation lacks fundamental critical thinking and empathy for others.

That was really a Golden/Silent generation thing more than anything. Those people were full on lushes. Even though Boomers drink more than younger generations, it was their parents and grandparents who were raging alcoholics.

Giuliani, specifically, is a raging alcoholic, though.

Or so I've heard

They aren’t drunk, they are brain dead

Giuliani can be both

Like the asshole on Fox saying that fraud isn't a crime because everyone in real estate does it

"traditional" rule of law

Wherein white men aren’t held to account and you can buy your own justice with enough money.

Wherein women who are victims are told to shut up lest their own reputations are ruined for accusing any white men.

Yeah. That’s what we should strive for. /hard S
