Al Jazeera Discovers US Presidents Award Loyalty, Not Justice
Trump's pardon spree, detailed by Al Jazeera, covers individuals charged with attempting to subvert the 2020 election results, including Rudy Giuliani. This isn't just about 'loyalty' to Trump; it sets a stark precedent. When the powerful face consequences, the system often bends to protect them, especially if their actions served broader elite interests, such as maintaining power for a certain
faction of capital. The media frames this as a unique Trumpian drama, ignoring the structural impunity. The establishment, from both sides of the aisle, consistently shields its own—from war crimes in Iraq to financial malfeasance on Wall Street. These pardons are simply a more overt version of the revolving door, the sweetheart deals, and the 'too big to jail' philosophy that undergirds American
power. How many executives responsible for the 2008 financial crisis saw the inside of a prison? Exactly. The message is clear: for some, the law is optional, especially when attempting to maintain control.
