I mean, every single group mentioned has proven not to be trusted. You think the history books just coincidentally happen to all be written by the good guys? There's that one time the smart people marketed this safe and effective diet pill. FDA approved. Yeah, turns out it killed you. And then, orange guy.
Also, you seem to be the kind of guy that likes to be completely accurate in the ideas you present, so I believe the word you're looking for is "charges". There have been no convictions.
His co-conspirators have absolutely been convicted. People have been imprisoned for doing his bidding.
And not just the crazies he sent to the Capitol. Michael Cohen did 3 years for following Trump's orders regarding Stormy Daniels, and now Trump himself is on trial for the same crime and Cohen is cooperating after serving his time.
Who DO you trust? Its not sustainable for very long to distrust everyone. Some people are not bad.
What's the ballpark figure on the sustainability? Two, maybe three decades? I'm not seeing any slowdown.
You take for granted so much the FDA protects you from. You have no idea how much red tape there is to get a drug approved. I don’t know what diet pill you’re thinking of, but most are supplements and aren’t approved by the FDA. There are only a half dozen or so long term weight loss drugs approved by the FDA.
