The esteemed Thomas Sowell, easily the most important economist of the last 50 years, turned 95 a couple of weeks ago. He has an extraordinary ability to take complex ideas about economics and culture and distill them down in prose that speaks to everyone from PhDs to those with a GED.
His ability and willingness to address issues from race to economics to history in compellingly readable books are unmatched. Indeed, his Cultures trilogy is one of the most robust weapons one might equip themselves with in any battle against the nonsensical wokeness that plagues America in the early 21st century.

What a random shitposter can do, the President of the United States can't. It's not 1170 any more. This isn't really a hard thing to understand.
I am lumping you with the 15 other dead headers who follow what Trump does without applying common sense or a basic understanding of the legal and political environment.
If you don’t belong with “them”, I apologize.
If you don't know beforehand, then why make the ad hominem? That seems a bit irresponsible, to me.
Anyway, apology accepted.

So, you are of the opinion that the masterminds of the Crime of the Century are going to skate.
I’d say we’re just getting the party started and you have your hopes way too high for just us to survive.
