The REAL Big Lie is: "No one is above the law." [View all]

If anyone in America committed even a single one of the countless crimes that the Orange Beast has, they'd be in prison at this very moment. Yet, The Emperor of Mar-a-Lago is free and may never be held answerable for anything.

Even when various federal prosecutors, and those in NY and Georgia, seem to be on the verge of indicting him, someone in the judicial system gets in the way.

I'm convinced he could eat a newborn baby in Times Square, televised live, and nothing would happen to him.

I really, Really, never again want to hear some idiot say, "No one is above the law."
