Justice

[Baggers]

I'm a little over the Trump thumping re covid as (1) it has nothing to do with this thread and (2) if it did, it's contentious, but see below.

The coronavirus was still a far-away problem in Wuhan when U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ban on travel from China in late January 2020. Six weeks later, as the coronavirus ravaged Italy, Trump closed travel from Europe.

This thread is titled, 'justice'. In the minds of most scientifically minded/medically knowledgeable people, Trump committed an awful crime (inJUSTICE) against his people by minimizing Covid. In this argument, where Covid came from is not the issue, it's what Trump did (or didn't do) once he was made aware of the magnitude of the problem. He even admitted 'playing it down'. Do you recall he labelled the Covid virus a hoax? As did most of the far right...QAnon and like minded, in fact many still do see it as a hoax or nothing more than a bad flu. Have a listen to what Fauci says about the difference between working for Trump V the new administration.

So where is the justice for the families of those who have dead loved ones from Covid in the US? Yes, the degree of his culpability is debatable, but what is not debatable is his huge contribution to the poor management of this virus in his country. He was in the position to do much, much more than he did.

What about how he manipulated the JUSTICE systems to avoid prosecution re bankruptcies? Taxes. When a project of his goes bankrupt, who suffers? Have you read the numerous reports of devastated families whose businesses went to the wall because Trump didn't pay them? Where's the justice for them? And they number in the thousands. In my own life I have sat with self employed folks who've been devastated by white collar criminals - specifically, non-payment of bills sending them to the wall... for two families I recall vividly, holding their hands as they grieved for the suicide of their husband/father. All hard working, honest people. Innocent victims of charming, smooth talking white collar crims... and none are in prison.

Being self-employed myself I know what it is like to depend on people paying their bills so my family can live... and pay our bills and our taxes. Trump cares nil about such things, as is the nature of the narcissist/sociopath mental illness... or do you excuse/justify his behaviour due to his mental illness?

I didn't realise that you are a Trump apologist/fan and that your interpretation of 'justice' is so selective as to exclude the pain inflicted on the community by white collar criminals. Sorry mate, but your boy is a criminal with a lot of blood on his hands.
