    All this news about Trump's destroying documents is, to me at least, depressing because it's hard to see anyone punished for it. At some point, elite impunity is numbing. Or am I wrong to be so pessimistic?

        we can't punish anyone who was ever in power because the country needs to heal

        I doubt you're too pessimistic. Remember when Gaetz and Scalise busted into the SCIF with pizza and cell phones? Are they in Leavenworth yet? (I would be if i had done that)

        The thing to me is it's not news; there were stories back in 2017 of him arbitrarily tearing up everything, it's just everything falls in the memory hole. Pessimism is the right response.

        I think the lesson from us here in the UK is that there needs to be clearly damaging and easily shareable pictures or videos for anything to cut through

        Trump had one of those in 2016 ("Grab em by the &%#@") a month before the election and it had no appreciable effect. It may even have helped him in some quarters. He seems immune to consequences for some reason, to a degree that even Reagan would envy.
