I hope there will be justice that reaches the highest levels of this cabal, but the problem is that the cabal represents the mind-set of about half the country, so that by extension, half the country has committed treason against the other half.
How do you solve that?
Probably the best way forward is the high road, if Trump can somehow keep a focus on a positive agenda through this term and a second one, and bring more than half the country to his side, then history will win the only judgement that matters. If it were to be a contentious court case leading to all-out cultural civil war (at the very least) then not much is gained although it’s better than the alternative of doing nothing and returning to status quo politics.
Tough questions created by a whole class of people who thought that the state should control the people, and not the other way around. Fundamental difference that Trump has not yet begun to exploit although it’s understood by his base. I think it’s the bridge to a larger segment of public support — and takes a delicate balancing act when your intention is to strengthen the state after (ironically) it was almost destroyed by the statists themselves.
“What was he going to say?
The truth. That nothing, no matter how horrible, ever really happens without the approval of the government. Over there, and here. The problem isn’t the doing. It’s the people in power having to admit that they knew. The prisoners are tortured at Abu Ghraib, and only the underlings go to jail. Their bosses knew. We know their bosses knew. But you don’t say it.
What exactly happened in Africa?
Somehow the villagers didn’t think that an oil pipeline was a good enough reason to move their village to a place where the spirit gods didn’t exist.
Drink?
So they asked them all nicely to move and when they didn’t, they just killed them all?
No. They didn’t ask. They just killed them. All. So the next village won’t need to be asked. They’ll just go.
There is a mass grave with 400 bodies, men, women, children, under the oil pumping station 10 kilometres over the Eritrean border. You should know. You covered the retreat of the contractors who did the job. Of course, you weren’t supposed to survive that, either.
Who runs Johnson?
A senator. From Montana, I think. You don’t get it. There is no head to cut off. It’s a conglomerate. If one of them betrays the principles of the accrual of money and power, the others betray him. What it is is human weakness. You can’t kill that with a gun.”

I hope for justice as well. I think results that make people’s lives better, promises kept, economic progress and also some irrefutable proof that lies have been told to try to change the results of the election may break through the mental barrier. At least for those who can still hear another point of view.
