- anoncoward111 8y agoApparently we live in a country where the government can murder thousands upon thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians, deny that it ever happened, and profit off of the destruction. But god help you if you make a tweet that is subjectively incorrect.
- jacques_chester 8y agoThe justice system is not single-threaded. It can deal with more than one case at a time.
- missedthecue 8y agoThe government profited? I always hear that it cost 6 trillion or something

- cmurf 8y agoIf the government does one thing unethical, immoral, or in violation of international law, and that must necessarily result in all contracts being nullified as preposterous in comparison, then it's chaos. What you're describing is an eventual consequence of metastasizing corruption. Wealth does not trickle down, but corruption does.

- empath75 8y agoTo be honest one of the reasons that government malfeasance of the kind that got us into Iraq is so dangerous is that it promotes exactly this kind of cynicism. We’ll be hearing exactly this kind of argument for decades because of the shit trump is getting away with now, and he’s arguing he should get away with it because of the shit Clinton and Bush got away with. It’s off topic, but a culture of law breaking at the top promotes law breaking at all levels of society.
