Why Trump (and all Republican Criminals) Don’t Have Anything to Fear in the Courts
With the help and hard work of Senatorial Oligarch, Chris Coons, Trump appointed 54 federal appellate judges in four years. As a result, we have so many Trump judges on the federal bench now that whenever a conservative person or media outlet loses a case – they can appeal it up and find partisan conservative judge to overrule any decision that doesn’t go their way.
Heck of a job, Coonsie!

I wish I was a GOP candidate for literally any office. I could clean up.The Greatest White Privilege of Them All
Eschaton reminded me of this truth - You can't convict rich white people of crimes. That's a pretty big privilege. Even when they are stone cold guilty, wealthy white people can use the "I didn't know it was a crime" defense. You have to be simultaneously rich and white to have that defense available to you.
Only once in my lifetime has that defense failed, and that was the rich white guy preyed on underage girls. I guess it is hard to claim that you didn't know preying on underage girls is a crime with a straight face.
