Rant: I have lost so much faith in our institutions’ (especially every federal org) ability to be objective in fulfilling their mission, that they’ve become so brazenly and unconditionally partisan, that I’ve come to the conclusion that SBF’s cozying up to so many of the right people on the favorable political side means that he’ll never see a day in jail, as unfathomable as that is. He’s embarrassed so many people that the pressure to sweep this whole disgusting mess under the rug will be enormous, and the fact that it’s now three weeks later and he’s still just walking around out in the open is strong evidence of this. You can see it every day in the reporting from the media, who describe this giant con as if it was a legitimate enterprise that just sorta - oopsies!! - went awry through poor judgment and silly hijinx. The whole thing was a fraud and STILL no one with a real voice is saying so. I have no words. This has a high likelihood for marking the time when rules just officially stopped mattering, no sin too large, if you can game the system politically.
