(35,370 posts)what Trump did is against the law but there is no mechanism to enforce the law. WTF we have laws but no mechanism to
enforce them, what do we have the law for then? What are laws for the rich just suggestions? In other words, this is just another nothing burger!

There are TWO sets: those that apply to non-wealthy, Democratic working people, people of color and women (esp women of color) - which are most if not all of them -- and those which pretty much don't apply to billionaires, corporations (which are people dontchaknow), and white male conservatives - like Trump, Matty Gaetz, etc. Every once in a while a well-to-do creep gets nabbed: Cosby, Epstein (finally after decades), Pharma-Bro Shkreli, Bernie Madoff, etc. But on the daily, the laws - especially when we have a gish-gallop-lawbreaking-style criminal (breaks so many of them so often we can't keep up with it all) like Trump breaking them daily - just don't apply to SOME people. And especially it seems, THAT person.
