It's damn near time we hold a former president accountable for his misdeeds furthermore I think that if we (the US) can show that even a person of high net worth can be held accountable for their criminal activities. On the flip side of the coin if we twiddle our collective thumbs and let the chance to hold Trump accountable then we damn well be ready to suffer the sneers of of both our allies and political enemies.

I'm a huge fan of advocating that the American people take back their power by writing to their congresspeople demanding that they take action to ratify the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR).
For as long as we keep twiddling our thumbs on ratifying ICESCR, we will constantly be fighting these same political battles over and over until it eventually, through gross negligence, spills out into civil war.

What he's ok with is irrelevant.

I generally agree, however, it is important to point out that the more that he says that normalizes the rule of law, the better.
