Lawlessness is the Touchstone of Trump and his "policies".

It is the One unifying Constant.

Gangster President. Gangster Government.

Brazil of all countries, knew how to deal with this themselves.

Bolsonaro is going to Prison for 27 years.

He can't run for office ever again, even if he lives that long.

Here in the the USA?

Trump gets Reelected and destroys the Rule of Law for his own Benefit and the benefit of his Cronies.

EXCEPTIONAL.
