It seems to be symbolic of what politics has been like in America for a while now: crazy stuff is happening and people won't shut up about it, but none of it really matters.

It's insane to me that he has had no significant federal repercussion from 1/6. I understand that the classified documents charges aren't resolved yet but seeing as the case was allowed to go to Judge Cannon I think it's safe to say we are unlikely to see anything come of the charges. I do blame a lot of this on the insistence of our media to cover Trump like he's a serious person and qualified candidate. Cable news and the "paper of record" created this notion and they've been running our political system into this fuckery in a bid for eyeballs ever since. Biden and Garland and everyone else screwed the pooch irrevocably by not treating Jan 6 like what it was immediately. Sure he's guilty of what he's been convicted of but even I can understand why people might think these state charges are being brought to trial is to try to hold him accountable for SOMETHING. But they should have gotten him for EVERYTHING and much faster.
