Comment on America could have avoided all of this with a functional justice system

Look at where we are now.

That would've set a bad precedent. But then again he pardoned his son.

But also a good opportunity to remove conservative supreme court justices.
Put in sensible ones, then reverse the ruling of presidential immunity. Carry on with trying to rebuild whats left of this countries rule of law.

Seriously. Go after the people who did crimes, make a big public push to impeach the dirty judges, and make sure to bring grocery prices down instead of pushing up wages. If he’d done that, maybe it would have partly worked, maybe it would have been tough, but I think pretty fantastic odds that however it shook out, Biden would be out there drooling his way through his second term right now, and Fox News would be screaming about what a problem it was every time he tripped going up the stairs, but there are lot of Florida detainees who would still be alive. Kilmar would still be happy with his family, right now.

Killing fascists before they have a chance to rise to power is never a bad precedent.

And the current president violating the constitution isn’t? I’d say sending the military to cities you don’t like is setting a bad precedent.
