@evan from my US pov your post sounded to me like the RW complaints about Trump being held accountable. Your response indicates that is not what you intended. Thanks for clarifying. I certainly agree, US is imperfect.

@jhall251 a recent example is Alexei Navalny in Russia:

Wikipedia has a list of political trials that have occurred in the US.

I don't know that I agree with all of them, but I also know that there are a lot of courts in the US, and we've had a lot of history, and I don't think our union is yet so perfect that it couldn't happen here.

@evan
Where do you think that is happening? Because that is not what is happening in the US.
