Remember when Joe Biden said "no one is above the law"?
It's against US and international law to supply munitions for a genocide, and while it will never happen; Joe confessing to his crimes and resigning would blow all the "both sides are the same" arguments straight out of the water.
But he won't.
Both sides aren't the same. Except they do both think they're above the law, and that the other "team" shouldn't also be above the law.
I'm thankful to Bernie and the Squad for being a few rational voices insisting everyone should follow the law and not just people who disagree with them.
Remember the lovely SCOTUS decision? The President IS above the law now. What could possibly go wrong...?
