 @f884fa2b Stupid question, why isn't Steve Bannon is prison. There is the wall fraud case and also he defied a sbupoena. He is also an insurrectionist traitor. He must be protected by someone. But who?

 @2d6d716f I don't know the answer to that question, but would note that our justice system is much more attuned to the "needs" of wealthy white men than of other citizens — and it's that way because other wealthy white men tend to stand behind it and pull its strings.

 @f884fa2b Yes I know. Many GQP installed corrupt judges. We have seem their hijinks lately. I just thought that Bannon being a major architect of the insurrection would have been indicted in some of these big cases. He still hasn't served his contempt sentence for denying a subpoena. Our justice system is ridiculous. He just keeps appealing and then never serves?

 @2d6d716f Yes, it seems to me our justice definitely works much "better" for men like Trump and Bannon than for ordinary citizens, particularly those who belong to minority communities.
