Trump's worst pardon so far is for the cop who sicced her police dog on a handcuffed man after he surrendered

Thank you for noting this.

But, of course, they did not. They barely even raised a ripple; most Americans aren’t even aware that they happened.

Non-American lives have zero value in mainstream US political discourse.

OTOH, individual incidents of unauthorised murder pale into insignificance when compared to the greater crimes that were the wars themselves.

“To initiate a war of aggression is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime, differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.”

–Justice Robert Jackson, Nuremberg, 1945

Wars which, of course, enjoyed broad bipartisan support. Every single person that supported those invasions shares responsibility for every single death that they caused.

As before:

The GOP is not the problem. The Dems are not the problem. America is the problem. Trump is the symptom, not the disease.
