    USA politics, recent events.

    51 Are you really blaming the institution for the acts of that rioting mob ? If you are then I would expect all of your thoughts on the subject are misguided To even contemplate the whole of the US justice system being corrupt by dismissing the content of the rulings of the courts ( even...
