A fringe website featured the purported names and addresses of the Fulton County grand jury that indicted Trump and 18 other people for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

    The inability of the good to do seemingly “evil” things for the sake of good will be the downfall of humanity.

    Example: imprisoning a psycopathic narcissist who thinks they can literally murder someone and get away with it. Good people should be OK with such a person losing freedoms!

      Pretty sure the person you’re talking about is Trump, in which case he’s facing almost triple-digit felonies, so how exactly are people not OK with imprisoning him?

      I’m not seeing the “inability of good” here.

        Well it’s taking a long-ass time to get him behind bars, plus, he’ll still be able to run for president from prison.

        Remember: It’s been almost forty months since a literal insurrection attempt and literal sedition where people died.

        The inability of good has already happened: He’s had years of working with Republicans to plan the next attempt.

        Even the FBI has openly admitted investigations were hamstrung.

          Hamstrung and yet here he is with 90+ indictments.

          The federal government generally prosecutes high-value cases slowly, so they make sure they have a case they can win.

          You not seeing things happening doesn’t mean things aren’t happening. The system is in motion and once begun it doesn’t stop.
