#two-tiered system of justice

[justbeingnamaste]

"I don't think that things can go too much further with the view that law enforcement, particularly the FBI or Department of Justice, runs a two-tiered system of justice. The nation can't stand under those circumstances." —Special Counsel John Durham, 6/21/23

Trump's sentencing in his New York felony conviction has been delayed until after the election

This is likely at least in part a political decision, not one based on law- ie it is being done out of fear that if Trump is imprisoned, it will affect the election or be seen as "election interference".

But after the election, if he wins, it will be too late. Thanks to the Presidential immunity bestowed by his lapdogs in SCOTUS, and the blueprint for swiftly seizing total control of the government laid out in Project 2025, he will be-as he has said-"a dictator on day one". And effectively impossible to arrest.

If you ever want Trump to be accountable, if you want it to be even possible for Trump to be held accountable, then there is only one way to make that happen.

Vote Blue.

Three of Trump's rivals for the GOP nomination say they would pardon Trump for his crimes if they get elected president.

The leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination faces 91 criminal charges, nearly half of which are at the federal level. And yet his two main GOP rivals have said they would pardon him if they’re elected. [ ... ] While campaigning in the days leading up to the first votes of 2024’s Republican primary elections, Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley have both signalled they would grant clemency to the former president because it would be in the nation’s “interest” to do so. [ ... ] Republican officials and Mr Trump’s GOP rivals for the 2024 nomination have largely rushed to his defence after his indictments. Vivek Ramaswamy pledged to pardon Mr Trump shortly after he was federally indicted in the Mar-a-Lago case. [ ... ] Pardoning him would merely prove that the US does have “two systems of justice,” GOP rival Chris Christie told supporters in New Hampshire last week. But not the kind that Mr Trump believes. “One for all of us and one for the most powerful,” Mr Christie said. “If we allow that to happen as a country, we would be no better – no better – than a lot of these tin-pot democracies around the world who treat the privileged different than they treat everyday citizens.”

Asa Hutchinson, who is technically still in the race, reasserted that he would not pardon Trump.

Republican Asa Hutchinson won't pardon Trump if he's convicted

So here's the GOP Trump pardon scoreboard...

It's worth noting that President Gerald Ford gave a full pardon to Richard Nixon a month after he succeeded the disgraced Nixon. The pardon was highly unpopular and was likely a factor in Ford's narrow defeat by Democrat Jimmy Carter in the 1976 election.

Pardons for Trump might play well with the MAGA base but would be much less popular with the broader public.

Incredible

I feel like there should be some kind of "enhancement"" for these labor violations, so that there is an enhancement to the penalties when there's a notable pattern to the violations in question. 766 labor violations applied to between 80 and 100 minor employees (as in employees who are minors, tbc) seems like a pretty clear pattern of behavior.

Granted, there were between 80 to 100 minors spread across 21 locations, which amounts to between 3 to 5 minors per location on average. That seems like a pretty high number, since as far as I recall there are generally between 15 and 20 people on shift at any given time in fast food restaurants. That's anywhere between 15 and 33% of your staff experiencing child labor violations at any given time.

Another thing I found out is that these fines and violations are being executed under the Pennsylvania Child Labor Act of 2023. This makes me curious to learn whether this new act is a weakening or strengthening of the prior laws covering child labor, and what criticisms have been leveled against the act in defense of minor employees.

It's also possible that the franchise had some pretty good lawyers defending them against the violations, which only goes to reinforce @liberalsarecool's point about white supremacy and US prison policy going hand in hand.

I have a lot of other stuff I need to get done today, so I don't really have the time atm to go down that rabbit hole, but I thought these points were worth raising.

They're hardly encouraging or reassuring points, but I think they're worth keeping in mind just in terms of how insane $300,000 for violating your minor employees' labor rights on an apparently consistent basis is. I have no idea how profitable a 21-location Wendy's franchise would be in any state, but I hope this goes some way towards chastising them, if not driving them out of business. And I hope the owner of the franchise gets bought out, and whomever was in direct oversight of employee management at these locations gets booted as well.

White supremacy and US prison policy go hand in hand.

Welcome to Canadian Justice Where You Can Kill a Man, Walk Free, Fire a Warning Shot, Go to Jail - Insane!

Canada’s Justice System: Backwards and Broken Only in Canada, where a teenager fatally shoots an 18‑year‑old outside a Scarborough high school. He stands trial, cool as a cucumber, and claims he thought he was going to die. He’d grown up in Iraq, he says. Scarborough felt like a war zone. The jury buys it. He walks. Now fast‑forward to Vaughan at 4 a.m., where a homeowner shoots a warning round…

At least 8 million people have invaded our country since the illegitimate Biden regime took office in Jan 2021.

To put this in perspective this is equal to the populations of:

Wyoming

Vermont

Alaska

North Dakota

South Dakota

Delaware

Rhode Island

Montana

Maine

COMBINED.

Kyle shittenhouse had his mommy drive him across states lines so he could murder people protesting cops murdering people. Then he did this when he thought he might be held accountable...

This little bitch took two lives and maimed another and is free... he didn't get the whole terrorist perp walk, and Judge Schroeder treated him like he was part of some school trip to see how the court works

Luigi should be freed and Rittenhouse dumped in a lake

You saw the corruption, the lies, the bad policy, the anti American agenda and said nothing, so please spare us your crocodile tears and all your fake hysteria now. For 4 years you watched this country get run into the ground on all fronts and you said nothing!”

Now it's our turn.
