Have you noticed that criminal Trump is treated by the courts differently than anyone you know or have ever heard of? Thom Hartmann makes it clear with the facts that oligarchs live in different world than middle-class Americans. This has happened because poor and middle-class Americans have voted Trump Christofacist Party (TCPs) into office. Do you think these people will wake up to what they have done by the time of the November election? Tragically, I don’t think they will. That means there have to be many more of us who support Democracy vote, many more I say, because the TCPs are going to do everything they can to rig the election to the benefit of the TCPs.

In America today, if you can afford at least $50 million in lawyers fees, you can get away with rape, massive financial fraud over decades, ripping off people who just wanted to go to college, stealing from children’s Cancer charities, paying off porn stars to influence an election, and leading a treasonous insurrection against your own country that results in the death of at least six people plus 3 police officers (with over 100 police officers ending up in the hospital, many with life altering injuries) without ever spending a night in jail.

Michael Cohen was sent to New York’s notorious Riker’s Island prison for paying off porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy centerfold Karen MacDougal to keep them quiet in the weeks before the 2016 election about their affairs with Donald Trump.

Having the affairs wasn’t Cohen’s idea, and he never slept with either woman. It wasn’t even his idea to pay them off: that came from Donald Trump and David Pecker, who called it “catch and kill” as in, “pay off the women to kill the story.”

    What a wonderful article. Tom Hartmann is a little too simplistic. There aren’t two levels of Justice but multiple layers of Justice depending upon connections, wealth, power, etc… It’s important that this is advertised. The American public, in general, knows that this is true. It’s reflected in the low faith we have in public institutions. As the article stated:

    “As Bernie Sanders recently said:

    “You know it. I know it. The current American political system is corrupt.

    “You get to cast one vote. Billionaires get to spend hundreds of millions supporting or defeating candidates of their choice. That’s not democracy. That’s Oligarchy. And that’s why we must overturn the disastrous Supreme Court decision on Citizens United and move to public funding of elections.”

    But Bernie wasn’t permitted to be President was he? The Democrats had to cheat to insure that he wasn’t. And that, my friends, is the nature of the system. It’s why the Trump/Biden rematch is the best the current system can do.

      I totally agree with you, Mr. Eddie.
