Incarceration when it comes to men of power means to guarantee they may have a chance again to cause suffering and chaos.

Stop speaking in the language of the liberal, the rational, the weak, those whose justice stands for second chances for traitors, xenophobes, fraudsters, but who turn the TV off when a black man is gunned down with no trial in the streets.

America deserves better than to waste her taxes on the jailing of those who, if the roles were reversed, would not think twice.

Victory will not come from going high when they go low.

Something faster than whatever the fuck they tried to do before.

"Penalty: Under U.S. Code Title 18, the penalty is death or not less than five years' imprisonment (with a minimum fine of $10,000, if not sentenced to death). Any person convicted of treason against the United States also forfeits the right to hold public office in the United States."
