Reflections on Trump’s Conviction Without Punishment

-


Today, Donald Trump learned his fate—or rather, the lack of one. A convicted felon without a punishment, his case serves as a stark reminder of the disparities within our justice system.

What does this tell us? It tells us that in some cases, it’s not about what you do, but who you are. The scales of justice, which are supposed to balance equally, can sometimes tip depending on the power, privilege, or profile of the individual standing before them.

To say I am disgusted is an understatement. Accountability is the cornerstone of any functioning society, and when it falters, so too does public trust. This moment serves as yet another example of how justice can be elusive, especially for those shielded by wealth and influence.

It was mandatory.  Would the meeting really have been that bad?  Well, if it had been like past meetings, yes.  Historically, she doesn't have a positive thing to say, she puts me down, do...

If you have a Dyson Animal 3 listen up.

The recline feature suddenly stops working. About a year ago, I decided to splurge on a good vacuum because I was tired of replacing the vacuum every few years. Well, I vacuumed, shut it off and tried to use it the next day and wouldn’t recline. After trying some of the tips online, I gave up and called Dyson. After an hour wait, the guy told me that this model had a defect. So, if I send it back, they will send me a replacement. So, now I am waiting for a replacement. I am also wondering why they don’t recall it.

Why don't I share my political views on social media?

 I don't share my political views because it usually leads to disagreement amongst people and frankly, I don't feel like arguing with anyone. Also, I have to be careful about my conduct on a social media platform because of my job. I must protect my source of income and my future. I will always speak out against violence against women and violence prevention because those are my areas of research.
