It's very interesting how the media pushed the line that arresting politicians 'makes you a banana republic' when the reverse is absolutely true.
History shows that democracies don’t survive when their leaders live above the law. This danger is magnified by Trump’s pardoning or promising to pardon people who’ve already committed crimes on his behalf, acts intended to benefit him politically or personally.

I'm having trouble pronouncing "McWhorter". Do you say the "wh" like "whore" or is it like "wanker"?
In Opinion
Early in Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign, “it was easy to assume that failure to learn his name reflected a failure to take him seriously,” John McWhorter writes. But “as a matter of pure linguistics, it would be surprising if people didn’t have trouble with the name Mamdani.”
